Four Ball Championship Underway

Four Ball Better Ball Championship Underway

On Friday the students took part in a four ball better ball competition at Royal Portrush. This was round one of the two round championship and it has been a very competitive leaderboard. 

On what was trickiest conditions of the year to play in so far there were plenty of solid scores from all of the students.

Leading the way with an fantastic team score of 47 points is Paul Conroy and James Fallon. Paul himself had an excellent score of 38 points (+2) playing off a handicap of 4. Combined Paul and James had 25 points on the front nine followed by 22 points on the back nine.

Three points further back in second place with a team score of 44 points is Conall Murdock and Dylan Carton. Once again Conall himself had an excellent score of 38 points playing off a handicap of 11. Once again Conall and Dylan worked together very well on the course with a great total of 23 points on the front nine followed up by a steady 21 points on the back nine.

In third place a further four points back is Harry Thompson and Caolan Smith. Harry and Coalan both worked together well as a team to compile a total of 40 points however a couple of zero pointers on the card derailed their chances of leading after round one. However it is a very good score to build on for round two.

After a lot of hard work during the week on everyone's techniques it was very pleasing to see a number of solid scores especially in the difficult conditions.

Term 1 - Golf Update

Term 1 has flown by and now we are on the lead up to Christmas. The ranking updates for term one are now complete. Please take the time to read over your sons performance and progress from the chart below. Each student will now have the opportunity to achieve rank two in term two if they achieve the specific targets.

Long Game Technical Lessons

Last week the students all received their second phase of long game technical assessments. Having all made significant progress from they received their first phase it was a great opportunity to push on and progress onto the next phase. Each student was given swing analysis which has now been uploaded onto their google drive accounts. Notes from the sessions were also taken and noted into each students diary. Each student has now set an action plan to monitor their progress throughout the duration of term two.

Alan Kane Visit

Having highlighted the visit on the newsletter last week it was fantastic to have Alan Kane visit the school just last Thursday. Alan has been practicing Kinesiology for the past 15 years and has developed a system for golf performance. System K has been used with excellent results on players already and a few of our students were lucky enough to have a session with Alan.

The students all found the experience breathtaking and are eagerly anticipating Alan's second visit with us in a few weeks.

For more information on System K or to see how it can improve your game you can contact Alan on innerpowergolf@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing Alan again soon for a follow up session with our students.
