This Week's Featured Golf Hole
As part of our Player Profile Series we ask the Players to tell us their favourite hole from across the Golf Courses in Wiltshire, this is the choice of this week's Player.
Roger’s Favourite Hole is
The 1st hole at Ogbourne Downs
Looks easy but difficult to par.
Hole 1 Par 4
- Aim up the left hand side of the fairway to allow the gentle slope of the fairway bring the ball back into the centre.
- Avoid missing this green on the right or you face having a tricky up and down for a par.
- It’s better to favour the left side of the green and use the slope of the bank to push the ball back toward to green
- The green slopes from right to left allowing for a challenging two-putt.
The Performance Zone
Each week we share a tip from a Golf Professional, Coach or Equipment specialist to help you improve your game, from Curing the Shanks to Choosing the right Driver
This week we welcome PGA Professional Richard Lawless to share some tips on some of the common errors that most golfers make with their Grips
Common Golf Grip Errors
If you don’t have the correct grip on the club when you play, you can make the game much harder for yourself than it needs to be.
A lot of golfer’s who have played for a while have developed bad habits, most of which usually stem from a lack of practice and poor basic fundamentals.
The Grip is a key area of the golf swing, get it wrong and it can lead to a world of problems.
So rather than teach you and hope you get things right, let’s first look at some errors that you will need to avoid.

Time For A Laugh
Why Is Golf So Popular With Men?
Because you can play a-round,
it’s OK to swing your wood in public,
everyone’s balls are the same size
and threesomes happen all the time
(but there’s always the risk of ending up with a bent shaft).
