Course news 

We would like to thank Neil Smith and the maintenance team for working hard in these conditions to keep the course playable and working hard on the drainage around the course.

Anyone playing the course in the coming months we would appreciate if you could repair your divots and pitch marks that you leave around the course. As we know the re-growth rate of the grass isn't great in these conditions so your support would be appreciated. This will help to keep the golf course in prime condition throughout the year.

What’s your smash factor? 
By Thomas Devine, PGA Teaching Professional, Oulton Hall 

One of the most egotistic terms that my Trackman monitor produces is undoubtedly SMASH FACTOR. 

Often varying between 0.8 and 1.5, by nature the name attracts itself to ego’s with people wanting the see the highest number. But what really is smash factor?

For example, if your ball speed was 140mph and your club speed was 100mph; 140/100 = 1.4 smash factor In simple terms, smash factor is an ‘efficiency rating’ on the quality of strike; it shows us how much ball speed we are achieving per 1mph of club speed that we produce. Generally, top professionals would be aiming for a 1.5 smash factor with a driver and a 1.4 smash factor with mid irons. But, it is important to note that any level of golfer can achieve these numbers; a young child who has a good relationship between his club speed and ball speed could produce a 1.5 smash factor!

How to fade your Driver off the Tee 
By Lee Morrisroe, PGA Teaching Professional, Oulton Hall 

Been able to shape your driver off the tee is a great advantage considering the variety of different shaped holes you will encounter in a round of golf. 

First of all, most amateur golfers and some pros are under the impression that to fade your driver you tee your ball lower, this is factually incorrect. When you tee the ball lower your are far more inclined to strike the ball with a negative angle of attack and this is when D-Plane comes into the equation.
