Greetings golfers, 

Here's your weekly newsletter with a recap of last weekend's Club Championship plus your chance to win a limited edition TaylorMade Open Championship tour bag. 

Ben becomes Club Champion

Over a glorious sunny weekend here at Wychwood Park we saw over 70 golfers battle it out in the biggest Major of the year. There were lots of good scores considering the players were teeing off on the blues and the tricky pin positions. Ben Hallam played exceptionally well shooting 71 on the first day and 75 on the second day to become Club Champion by 12 shots.

Congratulations Ben on becoming Wychwood Park Club Champion!

Gross - First place - Ben Hallam (71 + 75 = 146), second place - Rich Wheat (76 + 81 = 157), third place - Ray Cornwall (76 + 82 = 158), fourth place - Matt Jackson (76 + 82 = 158), fifth place - Jerremy Mellor (76 + 82 = 158) and in sixth place - Nick Davenport (79 + 80 = 159).

1. Assess the nature of the lie within the divot. For example, if the ball is lying towards the back edge of the divot then the main priority is just to get it out. However, if the ball is towards the front edge, you have more options.

2. The Secret to making good contact here is to hit down on the ball. To do this, your ball position should be an inch or two back in the stance and your weight should be 60-40 on the front foot. This will promote a steeper backswing, which, in turn will influence more of a downward blow to catch the ball first and drive the ball out.

3. For the swing. Do not try to change anything in your swing. Don’t be timid. Just think down and through. Extend out to the target and do not quit on it. There is no reason why it wont go on the green!
