Greetings from Stuart Dowsett
Sundridge Park Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional
 

This week we have launched our new website and email newsletter. My team and I hope you like it. This new website and email is fully responsive in design, so irrespective what digital device you are using the content will adjust accordingly, giving a perfect display every time.

This will allow you to read our weekly words of wisdom from the comfort of, for example your sofa, office or even a train. Please click here to visit the new site.

We would love you to explore the website and investigate the tips and drills, product catalogue and interact with any features we have on the website.

We look forward to any feedback you may have so click here and tell us what you think about our new email and website.

I really believe that FootJoy are the best footwear company in golf and that is why I stock them exclusively. In my thirty years in the trade, I can't remember such interest in the launch of a shoe that has been created by the new DNA, Click here to visit the FootJoy site which will give you all the information on this much anticipated shoe.

They have some other great shoes launched this year, the two stand outs in my opinion are the AWD and the Hydolite. The AWD is an entry level casual shoe which can be worn on and off the course and represents excellent value at £59.95 especially as it is waterproof too. The Hydrolite is a waterproof shoe which is going to be a solid, go to performer, and is priced at £79.95. Later in the year I have a special event regarding FootJoy shoes, as they will be bringing their fitting service to Sundridge Park for one day only. There will be 1/2 hour appointments, where they will measure your feet, so you know exactly what size you are and give recommendations as to what shoe will suit your shape of foot. Their truck contains every option available in their range. They reliably inform me that ill fitting shoes can lose you 20% of power when you swing, which actually makes sense when you think about it. I just spoke to the rep, who is at a club today for the launch of this service and they have ten appointments, I really expect a big demand when they visit our club. When we get a little closer to the event in June, I will let you know how to book.

The world's best golfers are in Florida this week for the second World Golf Championship event of 2014. Tiger Woods defends the WGC-Cadillac Championship over the Blue Monster, Trump National Doral but is struggling with a back injury.

With a field of just 69, this event is open to the top-50 ranked players on the Official World Golf Ranking, together with a selection of leading golfers from various money lists across the globe. Due to the limited field, there is no 36-hole cut.

Since it was first hosted in 1999, Tiger Woods has won this event seven times, most recently last season when he finished two clear of Steve Stricker. Tiger withdrew from last week's Honda Classic with recurring lower back spasms, so his participation this week could be in doubt.

The European Tour will be well represented with 33 members on the start sheet. Rory McIlroy will be looking to make amends after his playoff loss in last week's Honda Classic and, with Tiger's injury in mind, he will start this tournament as many people's favourite.

England's Justin Rose won this event in 2012 and he'll be looking to draw on good memories from this tournament venue, although he too has injury concerns and it remains to be seen if he's recovered.

Originally designed by Dick Wilson, the Blue Monster has played host to PGA Tour events for almost half a century. The Doral Open was contested over the layout between 1962 and 2006.

This season will give the players a first glimpse of the heavily re-designed layout at Trump National Doral. Gil Hanse has completed a total overhaul of the course, so much so that Hanse himself has described the track as a new golf course.

All 18 holes have a new measurement - eight are shorter than previously and 10 are longer - the total yardage is up to 7,481 yards. The idea is that the course will now present more of a test for the world's best. In recent seasons the winning total has been around the 20-under-par mark, but that looks likely to change this year.

Player Watch:

Rory McIlroy - He's proved in the past he can bounce back from disappointing results - see 2011 Masters and U.S. Open. He's clearly on great form and, when playing his very best, few can live with him.

Russell Henley - Playoff winner last week, Henley could use that as a springboard to make a jump to the next level in world golf. He was tied 28th in this event last year.

Graham DeLaet - The Canadian was on superb form at the end of last year and the start of this, with five straight top-10 finishes. Another man capable of taking a step forwards and claiming a win in an event of this stature.

Now your diary might be a little clearer, why not make a dye to join me next Wednesday in the clubhouse for the 'Why is Golf so Difficult' presentation. There will be plenty of what in my opinions are the 'do's and don'ts of the golf swing', and I will break a few of the top players swings down for you in slow-mo. I really believe you can change your game, just by gathering some knowledge of what actually happens in a golf swing. Please come and join me, the presentation is at no cost to you (we would appreciate a small donation to the Captains charity) and there is a bite to eat available afterwards. Contact Jo in the office to secure your place.

TAYLORMADE'S NEW JETSPEED WOODS

Doubtless the TaylorMade fans amongst you will be asking me about the new JetSpeed range. I can say there's great logic to the Speed Pocket behind the face which promotes less spin, but with adjustability as well, talk to me about finding your best set-up.

The right ball for your game

So many golfers don't give enough thought to the ball they play. If this is you, you could be losing shots all over the course. Give this some consideration when you're next in the pro shop before making that risky random selection.

  
  

So, ask us about how you can select the ball that fits your individual golf swing and playing ability.
