Junior news

Junior League

For the first time in at least four years we are proud to say that Leeds Golf Club has a junior team in the LDUGC Junior League. The team played their first match this week past at Mid Yorkshire. They fought hard and emerged with two losses and a draw. Well done guys.

Trust = Power

Let’s face it: we all want to hit the ball further. Being able to hit longer drives gives you less club into the green, making everything that little bit easier. There are many ways you can try and generate more power during your swing, and nearly all of them start from the ground up.

Trust your footwear
Despite his small frame, tour star Rickie Fowler is renowned for his power. As you can see in the three images above, he pushes off from his right foot through impact and relies on great grip and stability to ensure the power his body is creating doesn’t come at the cost of control.

Having a strong base is something we should all aspire for. The Skechers GO GOLF Focus 2 can help you do this thanks to its outsole cradle that secures your foot for maximum stability and its low-profile, full contact bottom design that combines with cleats to give you reliable traction across all terrains.

Replace your long irons

We want to make this game as easy and as enjoyable as possible for you, so if we had one piece of advice for you it would be to replace your long irons. The further up your irons you go the harder they become to hit, which is why golf brands have a range of fantastic alternative options for you to try…

Powerful and forgiving
Do you struggle with distance and accuracy with your long irons? This PING G400 hybrid can offer you lots of forgiveness on heel or toe strikes. Its thin face and cascading sole also increases flexing for a higher launch with fast ball speeds, making it a great option off the tee and into long par-4s.

Shot shaping
If you’ve always found irons easier to hit than woods, this workable PING G400 Crossover utility iron offers all the benefits of a driving iron but with lots of modern distance and forgiveness. The result is a confidence-inspiring club you can use to hit long and accurate tee shots, but that’s also easier to launch than your long irons off the deck.
