For anyone who has never experienced any of the putting analysis software systems the market has to offer, I can thoroughly recommend the Tomi System.  Tomi is a very simple and easy to use piece of kit that allows you to see your putting stroke in a totally new light.

Tomi will show you an indepth look into the following factors:

Alignment at address

Alignment at Impact

Path of Putter

Rotation of putter head

Angle of attack

Strike position on putter head

Tempo

Clubhead speed at impact

We will be hosting personalised putting programmes from the autumn 2010, starting with a session on the Tomi System then designing a programme of improvement based on what we believe are the most important aspects to making you a more consistent putter.

On Monday I was lucky enough to visit the Deal area of Kent again, to watch one of my up and coming young players in the Tillman Trophy.  Having spent many a happy time down in this area of kent, it was great to once again take in the sights and experience these terrific courses, if only from a spectators point of view.

There are a trio of clubs within the Sandwich/Deal area that make the ideal base for a golfing break and trust me when I say theses courses are a real challenge!  You have Princes Golf Club, Royal St.Georges and Royal Cinque Ports, all withinn a couple of miles of one another.

Princes Golf Club - a combo of three great 9 hole course, all different and all very much a superb challenge.  Great friendly club, who provide a warm welcome and a great lunch, well worth a visit.

Royal St.Georges - Not easy to get on and might cost you a few extra bucks than the other two, but well worth it as a special treat!  Only downside is no 3 or 4 balls, a tad old school in their approach, but as an Open course I guess they can call the shots. Great challenge to play, not for the faint hearted off the backs, but you feel like you have half a chance off the middle tees and when the wind's not blowing it's a piece of cake, well almost!

Royal Cinque Ports - Normally playing one into the wind, then 8 or so down wind and then turn into the teeth of it all the way back to the club house, trying to hold onto what score you built on the front 9!!  Some truly great holes and challenging shots, be brave on some tee shots and you can really maximise the hard running fairways and scores can be posted pretty low!  As with Princes, a warm welcome to what is a great links adventure.

With regard staying in this are, I would recommend the Bell Hotel in Sandwich, a convenient location and a warm and friendly hotel, based right in the centre of the great little village of Sandwich.  With a nice choice of pubs and a couple of restuarants to choose from, you will find this the ideal base for your links golfing experience.

Enjoy yourselves!

The book says that when chipping uphill I should take the flag stick out and leave it in downhill to act like a backstop if I hit it too hard. It also says that before an important shot I should take a deep breath so I am relaxed. It also tells you what to eat to be good at golf.
