Better weather this week means the Greenwood should open today. My advice is keep checking the website as we update any course disruption before 7am. Click here to be taken to the club website.

As the festive season approaches and people are asking what they can treat the golfer in their lives to, I have a suggestion to save you from a bottle of old spice or some novelty socks. A voucher for a one hour session and video analysis with the FlightScope will give you a greater understanding of your swing and how your equipment is working for you.

I had a session with John Hayward last week - the picture shows one of his small swing faults, the FlightScope backs this up showing his steep angle into the ball at attack with the driver. A minus figure doesn't work well with the driver, you need to sweep it off the tee and launch the ball at somewhere near 13 degrees to achieve your maximum distance. You also get to keep all the data and videos - all for the princely sum to you of just £30!
