The Hampshire Golf Club

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter.

Rory McIlroy has 15 million reasons to smile this week after winning the Tour Championship for the second time in his career - a record he now shares with a certain Mr Woods - and scooping a cool $15 million prize as a result. The Northern Irishman carded a final-round 66 to finish the week on 18-under-par, four shots clear of Xander Schauffele in second and five clear of playing partner Brooks Koepka.

Also, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this week's newsletter where we have a brilliant Video of the Week showcasing four golfers trying to break a Guinness World Record.

Enjoy the read!

How to play a flop shot

Type ‘flop shot’ into Google and Phil Mickelson’s name will be at the top of the search. The five-time major champion is the go-to guy when it comes to shots around the green, especially the flop shot. So, if you want to follow suit and impress your golfing partners, here’s our guide to this magical shot.

Equipment

Are you playing a high lofted wedge with fresh grooves and bounce suited to gliding through the grass and under the ball?

Technique

Are you setting up correctly with your clubface open and ball forward of centre? Are you making a committed swing?

Coaching

If you really struggle with the flop shot and are more used to blading it through the green, come and see us for a lesson.
