How to repair pitch marks

Further to our story imploring members and visitors to Please Look After Our Greens there were suggestions we inlcude advice on the correct way to repair pitch marks.

Ideally, you should always carry a pitch repair tool(there are some very inexpensive models at the JGC shop);  – always repair your pitch marks (and any others that have been thoughtlessly left behind) ; and learn to do it in the correct fashion, particularly not leaving the patches of bare earth common on many greens at Jamberoo and elsewhere.

Simple Swing Tips Vol 1 Tip 2 – Balance in the Follow-Through

In our first instalment we demonstrated the concept of “staying at one with the ball” long after it has left the club.

Here, leading Jamberoo golfing role model Michael R Bartlett superbly demonstrates another often overlooked benefit of focussing on the follow-through, to finish and beyond in the modern golf swing.

In this video Michael shows that by remaining balanced, stationary and relaxed after his body has finished “turning”, he is able to feel the faintest zephyr of breeze brush his face – and thus provide himself with the inspiration to come up with an (almost) plausible excuse for completely missing the green on this very short par 3.
