Correct wrist position at impact!
I have mentioned this to many of the members that I coach, but I wanted for you guys to think about this as something to improve your ball striking.
When a boxer makes perfect contact with his opponent, causing him to fall down and record the win, the shot was a case of not only great power, but the perfect strike. A boxer will have a perfect position for his wrist, and with the perfect body movement, he will achieve the contact he was looking for. But what if his body movement was perfect, but his wrist was in the incorrect position? How would this affect the strike??
Quite dramatically! It would cause a severe lack of power, and potentially hurting himself rather than his opponent.
This works the same way in golf. A "flushed" or "perfect strike" will come from a good body motion and a perfect left wrist position.
If the club is coming down too steep, the wrist will become open and won't have the same impact when striking the ball.
If the club is too shallow, then the wrist will be pointing up towards the sky, and also lose that strike we all look for.
So it shows you golf is not all about raw speed, it's about timing!
It was a weekend of Mixed Foursomes Golf at Colchester Golf Club with the Cant Cup, first played for in 1920, and the Bank Holiday Foursomes taking starring roles.
In the Cant Cup the Ladies' Captain, Sheila Dornan and her husband John, playing off 17½, calculated by halving their combined handicaps, took the honours after a countback from Bill and Mandy Rix (9½) both pairs returned an excellent medal score of 70.5.
Heather Dennis and Tom Rothery (playing off 12½) returned 71½ to take third place from Stuart Reed and Annie Johnston (15½) who had a score of 72½ to put them in fourth. Pat Kettle and Tim Rogers (13) and Maureen and Ian Devenish (16) shared nett75s to take 5th and 6th place.
In the more relaxed atmosphere of the Bank Holiday Stableford Foursomes Ernie and Marilyn Free were honourable winners with a respectable 43 points. Second placed, just one point behind them was Fiona and David Prentice and in third spot was John and Daphne Bloomfield on 41 points. Sharing 41 points but losing the place after a countback was Liz Lennox and Tom Rothery.
Colchester Juniors had success at Clacton Golf Club in the Jason Moss Trophy. Colchester took a team comprising of Dan Nicholls, Harry Hills, Louisa Storey, Tom Woodnott, Olly Allison and Arian Masud. Masud was the top scorer with an impressive 40 points.
At the Club, Harry Hills (7) came out tops in a Junior Stableford when he also returned an excellent 40 points.
During the week and taking advantage of the good weather the ladies enjoyed a medal competition with Nerys Horrocks (23) taking top place and winning the Medal Spoon after returning a nett 71.
In joint second place were two other players from Bronze A Margaret Carter (24) and Margaret Dearnley (21) both carding nett 72s.
