Greetings from Patrick Smith
Kidderminster Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional
 

That has been the longest winter since I became the professional at Kidderminster nearly 10 years ago. Now the clocks have moved forward we can now start concentrating on the summer and getting plenty of golf in. I have many great plans and ideas for the shop and all you newsletter readers for this summer so keep reading the newsletters and I hope you are enjoying them.

Videos

Having spoken to a few members, they are still unaware that I have been producing weekly videos. For anybody who has missed any of the videos then please go to my website www.patrick-smith.co.uk and go to academy and all the videos are on there. You can also follow me on YouTube under Patrick smith Kidderminster.

Are you wedged up?

Now we are getting into the season I would like to concentrate this week on wedges and how important they can be to your game.

With the design of Kidderminster and many other courses we have a mix of long and short holes, however most these holes will rely on you using a wedge of some description. This is why having the correct wedges in your bag will help you. The hardest shot for amateurs to play is half a shot, having the correct lofts on your wedges will help eliminate most of your problems.

So what to think about when you're looking at buying wedges

Lofts

The first and most important thing when buying wedges is, what loft or lofts are you after. The gap between your pitching wedge and sand wedge can vary so much. The average gap between irons is around 4 degrees but then when you get to the pitching wedge to sand wedge the gap can go to 10 degrees. This gap is far to big and this will not help you when playing close to the green. Come into the shop and find out the lofts of your pitching wedge and sand wedge and find out what the gap is.

I always recommend that every golfer should carry at least 3 wedges, can be 4 depending on the lofts. I would recommend a pitching wedge (46 degrees) a gap wedge (52degrees) and a sand wedge (58 degrees). This would be ideal. 6 degrees gap through out your wedges will help with the consistency of your wedge play.

Lie

This is vital in all your clubs. Making sure we have the correct lie will make a big difference. Especially when the ground gets hard. Please see right if your clubs are too upright or too flat.

Bounce

This is something that not many golfers understand. Please see the video below to understand what bounce is on the golf club and how you can work out which bounce suits your game.

Pure your fairway woods every time

Working on your ball striking is highly recommended so you can gain valuable extra yards with your fairway woods. You also need to know that your set up and specification are right for your own golf swing, otherwise inconsistency becomes a real problem.
