Missing you all

Stret's simple gym!

Click here for a quick look at my very basic gym - I shall soon be hitting it miles!

Fancy a workout!

Can you do the ladder drill?

So I mentioned in the original video I would give you a few ideas of things you could do at home. This first one is a great drill to help you practice your chipping at home. The idea is to use the same club but by altering the ball position the ball comes out at different heights so making the ball go between the different rungs of the ladder. Trust me it is not easy and I would love to see your attempts.

I want to see your attemps!

Sweep away that slice!

Many golfers struggle with a slice. As a right-handed golfer if you play your golf at Hornsea that is not good with out of bounds on the right-hand side on nearly every hole. Well whilst you are stuck at home this quick simple exercise could really help. Try it for a short while every day and say goodbye to that slice.

A members thought

I mentioned in the video that Douglas Griebenouw had posted something on Facebook.

Please take a moment to read his thoughts.

Please please please

I know it is a little different this week but hopefully I shall get better as the weeks go by if I have to put it all together each week. It has only taken a full day to sort this but has kept me entertained.... Please if any of you have any golfing videos please send them in.

Finally take care everyone and stay safe, Stret

Weekly quiz

Something new for our readers

Us golfers are competitive at heart, so we thought we'd try to harness some of that spirit by introducing a new feature to our weekly emails.

We're going to kick things off next week with our very own Masters Quiz - it was supposed to be Masters week after all - so be sure to do some research before then!

For now, we have put up a short poll on our website that we'd love you to answer by clicking the button below. We'll let you know the results next week.

Weekly challenge

It’s times like these when thinking outside the box can result in all sorts of fun. So, we’ve rummaged through the garden shed and come up with a little game for you to try at home! If you don’t have any buckets or pots to hand, try creating different sized rings using string, tape or even ties – this would make it indoor friendly too.

The set-up

Mark out your hitting zone like we’ve done using a mat in the image above. Then, from smallest to largest, lay your targets out so they get progressively bigger as they get further from the hitting zone. You then need to decide how many points each target is worth, with more points awarded to the smaller targets.

How to play

The great thing about this game is that you can play it by yourself or with the rest of the family. If you’re giving the challenge a go alone, you have five balls to get the highest score possible. You can play the same way with others or you can set an overall target score (e.g. 50 points) and the first person to reach that score wins!

Golf at home

This part of our newsletter is all about trying to keep your golf game ticking over whilst we’re being told to stay indoors. With putting being such a vital part of lowering scores out on the course (and the easiest to practice at home), we’re going to kick things off with a simple putting drill for you to try.

The set-up

Grab your putter, six golf balls and a tee peg. Place the tee upside on the ground – this will be your target. From here, measure out a putter’s length from the tee and place a ball down. Repeat this five times at equal distances apart so that you have a circle of golf balls surrounding the tee peg – just like in the image above.

Too easy? Make it harder

Your goal is to go around the circle and hit the tee peg with each putt. However, if you miss, you’ll need to go back and start again – a nice way to mimic some pressure from the golf course. If you complete the circle, keep going until you miss to set yourself a target to beat next time or try increasing the distance of each putt from the tee.
