\r\n<\/h4>\r\nTechnique\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\r\n \r\n\r\nTechnique is the lifeblood of golf. A golfer with standard physical strength, but impeccable technique will be able to achieve better scores than a player who emphasizes on strength alone. In addition, keeping focus plays an important role and can be shaken more easily if you don't master your technique. Practice makes perfect, so don't hesitate to grab a basket of balls and hit the practice range.\r\n\r\n \t- Short game: The short game is where the most points are scored. No matter how good your starting drive is, the accuracy required to finish a hole can slow you down. For this reason, repeating a series of putts on the practice green will familiarize you with your strength, but also with the different angles that can hide the most complex greens on the course. Also, it is a good idea to practice your lob shots at the same time. This will allow you to test different angles depending on where your ball is currently located and where you want it to land.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
- Full swing: Whether it's your tee shot or an iron, the full swing is the movement that uses the maximum amount of muscle and body twist. The key to success with this type of stroke is to \"take it easy\" at the beginning of the season. The reason is that good technique is more important than using maximum force in this stroke. Get your body used to the movement by starting with swings that are weak in strength but strong in stability. You will be more confident in your next round, but more importantly, you can begin to gradually add strength to subsequent swings.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\n

\r\n<\/h4>\r\nEquipment<\/b><\/h4>\r\n \r\n\r\nJust like your body, your equipment needs to be ready for the season. Depending on where it is stored during the winter season, its age, and its wear and tear, your equipment also needs to be warmed up before its first outing.\r\n\r\n \t- First, evaluate the condition of your handles. Over time, they may lose their grip or start to dry out. If this happens, you will be inclined to tighten them too much, which will affect your technique. Perhaps you've already noticed that one of your poles doesn't play as well as it used to? The source of the problem may be the handle. Before you run to the store to replace the club, make sure the handle is in good condition.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Then check the names of your sticks. While everyone has their own set of clubs, each club has its own reason to be in your bag. With every player wanting to improve their game, you can probably add a specific club to your set to reduce your distance to the green or to get out of some tricky jams more easily.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Finally, make sure your bag is in good condition. Nothing breaks the focus and momentum of a round like a zipper that gets caught or scratches graphite rods. Make it easy on yourself by making sure zippers aren't clunky and that they slide well. The base of your bag may also show signs of rot over time. Take a look at it so that it doesn't affect the handles of your sticks.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\nThis is it! You're ready to hit the fairway now. Once again, don't hesitate to take a basket of practice balls to perfect your technique and try to break some of the bad habits you may have when hitting the ball. Don't forget to have as much fun as possible because there is nothing better than a beautiful summer day spent on the most beautiful golf course in the Eastern Townships! We look forward to seeing you on the course.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Find out some of the best practices to improve them.","liens":{"ID":21285,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2023-05-29 09:41:29","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-29 13:41:29","post_content":"Golf is a sport of constancy, requiring a certain level of technique and concentration to achieve the desired results. Practice makes perfect, but what exactly do you practice when you get out on the course? The answer is simple: \"Practice your weaknesses\", and you do this for every type of shot so that your statistics improve. When we talk about statistics, we're not talking about the score on each hole, but rather the performance statistics for each shot. These statistics are divided into two variables: centering and distance.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nCentering<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe principle of centering represents the point of contact of the ball on the bat when striking. A well-centered ball will be struck in the middle of the club head and should, in principle, travel in a straight line. On the tee shot, a well-centered ball will have increased distance and reduced backspin. You'll also notice that a poorly-centered ball will, more often than not, cause a \"slice\" or a \"hook\", i.e. lose its trajectory as it curves to the left or right. So, good body movement and centered contact with your driver's head are all it takes!\r\n\r\nWhen it's time to hit with an iron, the same principle applies, but the ball will react differently depending on the angle of the club. For example, long irons will propel the ball lengthways rather than upwards. A poorly-centered ball may therefore \"slice\" or \"hook\" the ball, or even \"topper\" the ball. Short irons, on the other hand, are used to produce lobbed shots, so a well-centered ball will produce a high, straight trajectory, letting the ball land where it should on the green.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-1024x683.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nDistance<\/b>\r\n\r\nAs heat increases, the ball travels better through the air. That's why it's important to establish the distances that each stick will provide. Here's a table to help you choose the right stick for the distance you want to achieve.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Baton-1-512x663.png\")
\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTo recap, your performance statistics on the golf course are largely determined by the centering of the ball on each shot and the distance you wish to cover. With this information, all you have to do is practice your technique and master your strength according to the distance you want to cover, to improve your final score!\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7532-1024x683.jpg\")

Many players are told not to use woods on long grass. Others will take a #3 wood down the fairway to cover a greater distance but hit the ball thin making it roll instead of flying. However, each club has its own purpose, depending on the resting place of your ball and the distance you wish to cover.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhen you arrive where the ball has landed after a shot, the first thing to do is to assess the distance you wish to cover. Depending on the distance, you'll have a better idea of which club to choose. For a refresher on the distance of each stick, I invite you to consult this past article<\/a><\/span>. Next, you need to assess the position of obstacles. Whether it's sand traps, ponds, trees, or simply the angle of the pitch, the ultimate goal is to avoid them or, at the very least, minimize the impact of the obstacle if it can't be avoided. For example, your ball is 160 yards from the green, but you need to overcome a water crossing at 150 yards. Using a 7-iron might land you directly in the water, but an 8 or 9-iron will take you right in front of the pond, making the approach to the next shot easier.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe third assessment is the elevation of the green. On some holes, the elevation of the green is quite obvious as it lies on a pronounced knoll, but on others, the elevation is more discreet. Once again, using a different club for each elevation is likely to pay off. Your placement on the green will be better, and you'll have the satisfaction of having used a new club! Finally, the last question many people forget to ask themselves is how the ball lands on the ground. In this case, you need to think about whether the striking face of your club is higher, equal or lower than the ball's equator. A ball resting in the hollow of a long lawn will not strike with the same bat as if it were overhanging it. Since centering the ball is important, you'll need to use the right club to hit the ball in the right position.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Gazon-court-Centrage-evident-1-1024x576.png\")
\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAt this point, you should be able to identify which club to use in which circumstances. If you combine the information in this article with that of the article on the yardage of each stick, your bag will never have seemed so diversified. Take the time to test each club in your bag in different positions, and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the results.","post_title":"Club choice based on where your ball lies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"choisir-son-baton-selon-laire-de-repos-de-sa-balle","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-28 14:04:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 18:04:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/?p=21467","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":21572,"id":21572,"title":"Golf lr","filename":"Golf-lr.jpg","filesize":148908,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/blog-en\/coups-roules-grande-chaleur\/attachment\/golf-lr-2\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"golf-lr-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":21573,"date":"2023-07-04 13:29:53","modified":"2023-07-04 13:29:53","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":600,"height":400,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":85,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr-512x341.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":341,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr.jpg","medium_large-width":600,"medium_large-height":400,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr.jpg","large-width":600,"large-height":400,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr.jpg","1536x1536-width":600,"1536x1536-height":400,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr.jpg","2048x2048-width":600,"2048x2048-height":400,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr.jpg","latest-width":600,"latest-height":400,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr.jpg","cta-width":600,"cta-height":400,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr.jpg","slider-promo-width":600,"slider-promo-height":400,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr.jpg","image-list-width":600,"image-list-height":400,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr.jpg","banner-width":600,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Golf-lr.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":400}},"titre":"Putting in times of warm weather","prix":"","sous-titre":"With the summer heat waves, the greens act differently throughout the day.

With the sun beating down on the course from morning to night, there really couldn't be better conditions to play an 18-hole round. In addition to the vacation season underway for many of us, some will be taking the opportunity to tee off several times a week in the hope of improving their performance. The weather has a big impact on how the ball behaves once hit, especially on the green. That's why, in this article, we'll look at putting in hot weather.\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/putt-scaled-e1688477084782-512x512.jpg\")
\n\nThe first thing to keep in mind when practicing a putt is that the speed of the greens varies throughout the day. Often, the first golfers to tee off in the morning will encounter dew on the greens, which will slow the ball down considerably. By lunchtime, the ball will be moving faster as the green has had time to dry. At the end of the day, the turf often regrows a little, which again slows down the ball when hit. It's therefore important to bear in mind the time of day when you take to the green, to ensure a successful shot.\n\nGolfers at Owl's Head find our greens beautiful and, above all, challenging. The advice we give our visitors before they play is to try out the driving range. Ours has several targets at different angles, so you can get a first impression of the greens you'll come across on the course. If you're short on time, it's essential to test the speed of the green by choosing putts from 25 to 30 feet and, even if the direction isn't right, the aim is to stop the ball at the height of the hole.\n\n![\"coups](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_2211-scaled-e1688477299511-512x512.jpg\")
\n\nFinally, body stability will also play a big part in your performance on the green. Unlike other shots on the green, the putt requires very little movement of the thighs and pelvis in order to develop a better sense of size and pendulum versus distance from the target. On this shot, the aim is to create a pendulum-like movement from your shoulders to your club, so that you control the impact force of the shot and avoid sending your ball away from the hole. What's more, if your head tends to follow the head of your putter, the direction of your shot won't be aligned. Make sure you keep your head still until the moment of impact, then take your eyes off the ball and watch it fall into the cup.\n\nNow that you've mastered putting, all you have to do is master these techniques on the course.

Probably the most lost piece of equipment in woods and ponds, the ball is far from being a simple sphere that you hit shot after shot. A number of specific features make each ball react in a certain way. Whether it's the number of layers that form it, its speed and compression, or your level of play, all these elements will have an impact on the behavior of your shot. In this article, we'll cover the important aspects to consider when choosing a golf ball.\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-512x768.jpg\")
\n\nIn the 90s, a colored number was printed on the ball to indicate its compression. A ball with a black number, for example, had a compression of 90 or more, while a ball with a pink number had a compression of around 60. The theory is that if a player wanted more distance, he would simply choose a higher compression ball. In other words, pros resorted to balls with a lot of compression, while beginners were directed towards balls with less compression to improve the sensation of control at impact.\n\nCompression is still an important consideration, despite the technological advances of recent years, but it is no longer a priority. Today's balls have variable compressions, which means that the compression ratio is no longer synonymous with the caliber of the ball. To choose the right bullet, you need to be comfortable with it at the moment of impact. In other words, you'll have to try several to find the one that's right for you.\n\nBall companies will distinguish themselves greatly on the precision of their product in the short game. Indeed, bats have greatly evolved in recent years and are capable of offering much greater distance than before, making the principle of compression less appropriate. In this sense, balls marked \"soft\" or \"super soft\" will offer a greater feel at impact on a lobbed or rolled shot, as well as more \"spin\", enabling better control on the green when landing. This is not the only aspect to consider when shopping for a ball. The speed of your tee shot is also important. A player who hits below 90 mph will be able to cover a greater distance with a \"soft\" ball since it will compress and explode more easily as it leaves the clubface.\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2-1024x576.png\")
\n\nFor many players, a used ball is an option that takes precedence over a new one. Although they are not bad balls, there are a few aspects to consider when playing with them. For optimum performance, make sure the writing is legible and the color of the ball is clear. This means it's not too old or worn, and hasn't lost too many of its properties. This concept also applies to balls found in lakes and woodlands! Refurbished\" balls have been repainted and the writing redone. With them, there's no way of knowing the quality and wear, so they're likely to perform less well than others. For those of you who were wondering, driving range balls are not permitted on Quebec golf courses.\n\nIn the end, the best golf ball for you will be the one that gives you the best sensation on contact. Obviously, different ball technologies will have an impact on their performance, but if you're not comfortable with a certain ball, its characteristics won't bring you many advantages. Test the different styles and brands on the market, don't be intimidated by the technical specifications, and you're sure to find the ball that's right for you.","post_title":"Choosing your golf ball","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"choisir-sa-balle","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-11 10:05:10","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-11 14:05:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/?p=21584","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":21596,"id":21596,"title":"Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104","filename":"Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-scaled.jpg","filesize":508216,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/blog-en\/the-evolution-of-your-performance\/attachment\/owls_head_golf_2023-104-2\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"owls_head_golf_2023-104-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":21597,"date":"2023-07-04 18:32:24","modified":"2023-07-04 18:32:24","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1438,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":72,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-512x288.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":288,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-768x431.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":431,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-1024x575.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":575,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-1536x863.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":863,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-2048x1151.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1151,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-770x455.jpg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-680x472.jpg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-1100x726.jpg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-1115x740.jpg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-1440x400.jpg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-600x600.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"The evolution of your performance","prix":"","sous-titre":"Developing consistency isn't always easy in golf. A good way to improve your game is to monitor your performance over the course of the season. ","liens":{"ID":21597,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2023-07-11 09:38:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-11 13:38:32","post_content":"With summer in full swing, sun and heat are part of the fabric of this time of year. While there's nothing more pleasant than being on a golf course in the sunshine, performance too can be affected by the heat. Many golfers arrive in August and realize that their improvement is losing momentum. This is perfectly normal since we're not machines, but there's nothing to stop us from counteracting this effect. So the start of the season is all about progress, as we often go to the driving range before we play. As the weeks go by, the driving range becomes more deserted, and we focus on our game alone. It's when the shots pile up on the scoreboard that the negative spiral begins, and the slope becomes harder to climb back.\n\nWhen we notice a decline in our performance, pressing the \"reset\" button becomes the real challenge. In other words, you have to take the time to review your basic technique and start practicing again. Here are four aspects of the game that are worth working on during your season to improve your performance.\n\nThe first place to save (or lose) strokes is on the green. The slightest mistake on the green will have a huge impact on your final score, as the short game is very technical and precise. The length of your stroke is very important when putting. Over time, you may have become accustomed to hitting the ball a certain way, you no longer measure the length of your shot. In this case, you'll notice that the distance after contact is much greater than before contact. To master your putting stroke, it's crucial that your putter head covers the same distance before contact as after. This way, the energy transmitted during contact will be more uniform, so your contact will be cleaner and your stroke more precise.\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-84-1024x1536.jpg\")
\n\nSecondly, short lobbed shots can be problematic, but for a completely different reason. This type of shot offers very little margin for error, which has a major impact on the psychological aspect of the game. When nervousness sets in, you can feel it in your hands, and small mistakes become very costly. Golf is a sport of concentration, but it's also a hugely enjoyable sport, so it's important that the fun factor is part of your game. Take the time to evaluate your shot, take a few practice swings to get comfortable, and, above all, enjoy the moment. You'll notice that you'll be thinking much less about the end result and more about your technique, which will show in your stroke. Similarly, your iron game will also be affected by your state of mind. Take the time to check your distances with everyone on the driving range, and you'll feel much more confident once you're out on the course.\n\nSo, a \"reset\" game can only be beneficial for the rest of your season. Not only will your concentration increase, but you'll also feel more confident about your next shots. Don't hesitate to take a step back and rework your basic technique when you notice that your performance is slipping; you'll notice that your bad bends are easy to undo.","post_title":"The evolution of your performance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"the-evolution-of-your-performance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-11 10:09:26","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-11 14:09:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/?p=21597","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":21343,"id":21343,"title":"IMG_2083","filename":"IMG_2083-scaled.jpg","filesize":1238886,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/pitchcrm\/newsletter-of-june-7\/attachment\/img_2083\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"img_2083","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":21342,"date":"2023-06-06 19:47:33","modified":"2023-06-06 19:47:33","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-512x384.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":384,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-1024x768.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-1536x1152.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-2048x1536.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1536,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-770x455.jpg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-680x472.jpg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-1100x726.jpg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-1115x740.jpg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-1440x400.jpg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-600x600.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"Club tournaments are coming","prix":"","sous-titre":"Some are wondering whether or not they're going to take part.

While we're on the subject, why not talk about tournaments? The club tournament season is upon us, and the question that always comes up is: do I sign up or not? These events are a great opportunity to test your technique against experienced players. Even so, many golfers decide not to register because they don't want the pressure that comes with tournaments. This week, we're digging into the psychology of the golfer to help you reduce that feeling of pressure and perform better during tournaments!\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/68867684_351059832437087_6916046177297235968_n-1024x576.jpg\")
\n\nDon't ignore the pressure. This feeling is very real, but it can be controlled to reduce its impact on your performance. In my opinion, club championships are a big part of the performance in people's minds, and that's what holds a lot of people back. Many golfers will tend to judge their performance level negatively by trying to compare themselves to other participants. Of course, we often know who has a good chance of winning, because the best golfers don't miss the chance to take part in such jousts, but that doesn't mean that your place isn't deserved and that you're not welcome. I believe that those who don't sign up are missing an incredible opportunity to improve. In golf, as in any other sport, it's easy to become comfortable with your level of play and reach a plateau on which you sit. However, playing against new competitors allows you to learn more about your own game and discover areas for improvement that you would never have noticed otherwise.\n\nHere are two reasons why I think it's possible to be a better golfer at a championship. Firstly, the \"mindset\" of the tournament is different from any other round you'll play this season. As I mentioned earlier, we tend to be comfortable with our game and no longer challenge ourselves to improve. To avoid any negative apprehensions on this day, tell yourself that you'll be making it a real event that you're happy to take part in with friends. You'll feel less pressure to perform, and you'll find yourself in a more familiar and serene frame of mind, which will show in your game. I won't lie to you, this round will be more stressful than any other. On the other hand, if you allow yourself to live this experience to the full, you'll notice that your next friendly rounds will be more relaxed. After being exposed to an unfamiliar environment, your daily routine will be more comforting and relaxing than usual. You'll even notice that your momentum will be more consistent, less tense, and more natural than before.\n\nNow, what's your perspective on your golf club's next championship?

With fall just around the corner, some may think that the course will slowly begin to deteriorate, but the opposite is true. Summer did its job and the course absorbed everything it needed to be in prime shape. What's more, the maintenance team has been working all summer to provide you with the best possible playing conditions. So it's not yet time to put away your clubs! The sand traps offer equal conditions all over the course, even on the practice field. No excuses, let's practice. Here are three technical points to work on at this time of year.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-140-1024x576.jpg\")
\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe first is to anchor your feet firmly in the sand. Since conditions are the same everywhere, you'll have the same anchoring point on the ground as on the practice field. Make sure you remain stable during your swing, as an unstable position will result in a loss of power and cause your club head to bounce sooner than expected. Swing back and forth two or three times. If your stance is stable, your stroke will be accurate.\r\n\r\nThe second is to check the exact position of the ball in relation to your feet versus where your iron hits the sand in the right place most of the time. Let me explain. When hitting the sand, you want to create a bounce with the face of your club so that the ball is not in direct contact with the club. This absorbs the impact of the club, creating a high but short lob shot. With the ball centered between your feet and your weight on your front leg, the sole of the club will be in the best position to insert itself just between the ball and the sand, giving it the desired lobed effect.\r\n\r\nThe last point is to open the face of the iron to help the soleplate slide through the sand and cause an explosion of height and force. Continuing the effort of the previous point, opening the face of your iron will allow it to slide under the ball, following a trajectory parallel to your ball. Conversely, if the face of your iron is too closed, your club will sink into the sand in a trajectory perpendicular to the ball. The result is a nice hole and a ball only slightly further forward than before impact.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-89-1024x1536.jpg\")
\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSand traps represent one of the greatest challenges for any golfer, but they're also the least worked-on aspect of the driving range. Yes, they can be frustrating to practice, but once you've mastered them, you'll have much less trouble on your next round of golf.","post_title":"Weather is still nice, the course is in prime condition!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"weather-is-still-nice-the-course-is-in-prime-condition","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-24 09:39:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-24 13:39:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/uncategorized\/il-fait-encore-beau-le-terrain-est-a-son-top\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":22039,"id":22039,"title":"DSC_8601","filename":"DSC_8601-scaled.jpg","filesize":756977,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/blog-en\/extend-your-season-with-the-right-clothes\/attachment\/dsc_8601-2\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"dsc_8601-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":22041,"date":"2023-08-24 13:44:56","modified":"2023-08-24 13:44:56","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1707,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":85,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-512x341.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":341,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-1024x683.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":683,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-2048x1365.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1365,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-770x455.jpg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-680x472.jpg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-1100x726.jpg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-1115x740.jpg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-1440x400.jpg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-600x600.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"Extend your season with the right clothes","prix":"","sous-titre":"Cooler temperatures are setting in, but there's no reason why you can't hit the trails.

To make sure you're well-prepared for your next round of golf, take a look at our clothing tips and make the most of the end of your season.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-1024x767.jpg\")
\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOn cool (or even cold) days, it's the layers of clothing that make the difference between being comfortable and shivering. The first layer should be synthetic. Glued to the skin, synthetics keep you dry by expelling moisture to the second layer. So even if you sweat, your skin won't stay damp, making it easier to maintain your body temperature. The second layer should hold in the heat. Here, we opt for a wool or synthetic fleece garment. It's important to use synthetics here too, and to avoid cotton fleece, as the latter stores moisture and water, rendering its heat-retaining function useless. And don't forget freedom of movement in the arms. A tank top would be ideal, as it will keep the internal organs warm while allowing the arms to move unencumbered.\r\n\r\nAmong the hazards of autumn, the wind factor is not negligible. You'll want to carry a lightweight windbreaker, preferably with a soft underarm fabric for ease of movement. Don't hesitate to try on several in the store. You'll find that some fabrics make more noise than others, which can become an irritant in the long run. Opt for a waterproof or water-resistant windbreaker and you'll be safe from surprise showers! These showers are rarely confined to the upper body. A pair of pants with a rubberized membrane will keep you dry all day long. Add to this a pair of water-resistant shoes and a toque in case of an unexpected drop in temperature.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-1024x683.jpg\")
\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIf you want to think about it further, pay attention to the \"wind\" index when you look at the weather forecast in the morning. Even if the forecast calls for mild weather, the wind can quickly turn the mercury upside down. If you're aware of this factor, you can dress accordingly before leaving the house. At worst, you'll take off a layer when the wind dies down!","post_title":"Extend your season with the right clothes","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"extend-your-season-with-the-right-clothes","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-24 09:50:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-24 13:50:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/uncategorized\/prolongez-votre-saison-avec-les-vetements-appropries\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":22037,"id":22037,"title":"OH golf-3","filename":"OH-golf-3-scaled.jpg","filesize":1167749,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/blog-en\/extend-your-season-with-the-right-clothes\/attachment\/oh-golf-3-2-2\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"oh-golf-3-2-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":22041,"date":"2023-08-24 13:44:23","modified":"2023-08-24 13:44:23","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1919,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-512x384.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":384,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-1024x767.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":767,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-1536x1151.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1151,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-2048x1535.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1535,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-770x455.jpg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-680x472.jpg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-1100x726.jpg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-1115x740.jpg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-1440x400.jpg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-600x600.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"The effect of the weather on your game","prix":"","sous-titre":"The colder it gets outside, the more the ball's behavior changes.

Although the temperature is dropping, many great rounds of golf are still on the horizon. One thing's for sure: the changing weather is having an effect on our game. Whether it's our movements becoming more jerky on colder days, or the trajectory of our ball varying with the wind, we need to start anticipating the weather and making a few adjustments to our game. Today, let's talk ball, sticks, and tips for maintaining your performance level despite the weather!\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-2-LR--1024x768.jpg\")
\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhen playing at the end of the season, as in the last few days, the ball doesn't react as usual. The reason is quite simple. The colder it gets, the harder the ball becomes, and the more compression it loses (for more details on compression, you can revisit this article<\/a>). By losing this famous compression, the explosion on contact will be smaller, resulting in a loss of distance. Taking this factor into account, your choice of club will be made accordingly. To help you interpret your distances, here's an approximate measurement chart for a #7 iron:\r\n\r\n \t- 22 Celsius and more = full distance<\/li>\r\n \t
- 14 to 21 Celsius = 3 to 5 yards less<\/li>\r\n \t
- 7 to 13 Celsius = 6 to 8 yards less<\/li>\r\n \t
- 0 to 6 Celsius = 8 to 12 yards less<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nFor context, let's take the example of hole #16. Designed in the shape of a peninsula, the tee and green are separated by a large pond that requires a direct approach to the green. Typically, an 8-iron would be the club of choice to achieve this approach without blowing it up. On a 5-degree day in October, a 7-iron would be a better option, considering the previous table. In such conditions, a golfer teeing off on hole 13 will have to completely rethink his strategy. Normally, the predominant strategy is to hit beyond the sand trap before the elbow. A more conservative tee shot is likely to pay off at this point in your round.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAs you can see, distances vary greatly according to temperature. To optimize your choice of club and your playing strategy, consult the weather app on your phone. That way, you'll know what kind of distance you'll be able to reach, and at what angle of attack you'll start your hole.","post_title":"The effect of the weather on your game","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"the-effect-of-the-weather-on-your-game","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-24 10:17:47","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-24 14:17:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/uncategorized\/leffet-de-la-meteo-sur-votre-jeu\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":22058,"id":22058,"title":"Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185","filename":"Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-scaled.jpg","filesize":884116,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/blog-en\/season-retrospective\/attachment\/owls_head_golf_2023-185-2\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"owls_head_golf_2023-185-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":22063,"date":"2023-08-24 14:22:03","modified":"2023-08-24 14:22:03","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1440,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":72,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-512x288.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":288,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-768x432.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":432,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-1024x576.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":576,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-1536x864.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":864,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-2048x1152.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1152,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-770x455.jpg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-680x472.jpg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-1100x726.jpg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-1115x740.jpg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-1440x400.jpg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-600x600.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"Season retrospective","prix":"","sous-titre":"After a colorful season, taking the time to look back helps you prepare for the season ahead!","liens":{"ID":22063,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2023-08-24 10:23:41","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-24 14:23:41","post_content":"This is it.

By reliving these moments, this type of golfer is already creating a buzz for the season to come, and keeping the passion for the sport alive inside him or her.\r\n\r\nFor a competitive golfer, the end of the season brings its share of questions. At this point, it's time to ask yourself what you did well and, more importantly, what you could do better in the coming season. The answer to this question is, in fact, a combination of three things.\r\n\r\n \t- Consult your golf professional. With him or her, you'll be able to set your goals for next season, but you'll also be able to discuss exercises to practice during the winter season to get off to a strong start from the opening date in 2024. As long as these goals are achievable, you'll notice a marked improvement in your game.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Find a space for physical training. It's important not to spend winter inactive and to take advantage of this period to develop your fitness, cardio, and flexibility. Whether you find a sports activity to practice, join a gym, or work out in your basement, all formulas are good for not being too bored after your first round of golf.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Find a place to play golf in winter. Now very popular, indoor golf centers make it possible to practice the sport, whatever the weather outside. Even if the feeling isn't the same as on the course, this is still the best option for practicing your shots and measuring their impact on the course. Alternatively, a putting mat in the living room can do the job just as well!<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n \r\n\r\n

- \r\n \t
- Short game: The short game is where the most points are scored. No matter how good your starting drive is, the accuracy required to finish a hole can slow you down. For this reason, repeating a series of putts on the practice green will familiarize you with your strength, but also with the different angles that can hide the most complex greens on the course. Also, it is a good idea to practice your lob shots at the same time. This will allow you to test different angles depending on where your ball is currently located and where you want it to land.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
- Full swing: Whether it's your tee shot or an iron, the full swing is the movement that uses the maximum amount of muscle and body twist. The key to success with this type of stroke is to \"take it easy\" at the beginning of the season. The reason is that good technique is more important than using maximum force in this stroke. Get your body used to the movement by starting with swings that are weak in strength but strong in stability. You will be more confident in your next round, but more importantly, you can begin to gradually add strength to subsequent swings.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n<\/h4>\r\n
Equipment<\/b><\/h4>\r\n \r\n\r\nJust like your body, your equipment needs to be ready for the season. Depending on where it is stored during the winter season, its age, and its wear and tear, your equipment also needs to be warmed up before its first outing.\r\n
- \r\n \t
- First, evaluate the condition of your handles. Over time, they may lose their grip or start to dry out. If this happens, you will be inclined to tighten them too much, which will affect your technique. Perhaps you've already noticed that one of your poles doesn't play as well as it used to? The source of the problem may be the handle. Before you run to the store to replace the club, make sure the handle is in good condition.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Then check the names of your sticks. While everyone has their own set of clubs, each club has its own reason to be in your bag. With every player wanting to improve their game, you can probably add a specific club to your set to reduce your distance to the green or to get out of some tricky jams more easily.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Finally, make sure your bag is in good condition. Nothing breaks the focus and momentum of a round like a zipper that gets caught or scratches graphite rods. Make it easy on yourself by making sure zippers aren't clunky and that they slide well. The base of your bag may also show signs of rot over time. Take a look at it so that it doesn't affect the handles of your sticks.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\nThis is it! You're ready to hit the fairway now. Once again, don't hesitate to take a basket of practice balls to perfect your technique and try to break some of the bad habits you may have when hitting the ball. Don't forget to have as much fun as possible because there is nothing better than a beautiful summer day spent on the most beautiful golf course in the Eastern Townships! We look forward to seeing you on the course.\r\n\r\n \r\n<\/p>","post_title":"Beginning of the season: how to properly prepare yourself","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"properly-prepare-yourself","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-24 15:49:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-24 19:49:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/?p=20945","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":21278,"id":21278,"title":"IMG_7524","filename":"IMG_7524-scaled.jpg","filesize":1812793,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/blog-en\/the-evolution-of-your-performance\/attachment\/img_7524-2\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"img_7524-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":21597,"date":"2023-05-29 13:21:34","modified":"2023-05-29 13:46:37","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1707,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":85,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-512x341.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":341,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-1024x683.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":683,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-2048x1365.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1365,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-770x455.jpg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-680x472.jpg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-1100x726.jpg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-1115x740.jpg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-1440x400.jpg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_7524-600x600.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"Rebuilding your statistics","prix":"","sous-titre":"Now that the season is well underway, it is time to rebuild your statistics.

Practice makes perfect, but what exactly do you practice when you get out on the course? The answer is simple: \"Practice your weaknesses\", and you do this for every type of shot so that your statistics improve. When we talk about statistics, we're not talking about the score on each hole, but rather the performance statistics for each shot. These statistics are divided into two variables: centering and distance.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nCentering<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe principle of centering represents the point of contact of the ball on the bat when striking. A well-centered ball will be struck in the middle of the club head and should, in principle, travel in a straight line. On the tee shot, a well-centered ball will have increased distance and reduced backspin. You'll also notice that a poorly-centered ball will, more often than not, cause a \"slice\" or a \"hook\", i.e. lose its trajectory as it curves to the left or right. So, good body movement and centered contact with your driver's head are all it takes!\r\n\r\nWhen it's time to hit with an iron, the same principle applies, but the ball will react differently depending on the angle of the club. For example, long irons will propel the ball lengthways rather than upwards. A poorly-centered ball may therefore \"slice\" or \"hook\" the ball, or even \"topper\" the ball. Short irons, on the other hand, are used to produce lobbed shots, so a well-centered ball will produce a high, straight trajectory, letting the ball land where it should on the green.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDistance<\/b>\r\n\r\nAs heat increases, the ball travels better through the air. That's why it's important to establish the distances that each stick will provide. Here's a table to help you choose the right stick for the distance you want to achieve.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTo recap, your performance statistics on the golf course are largely determined by the centering of the ball on each shot and the distance you wish to cover. With this information, all you have to do is practice your technique and master your strength according to the distance you want to cover, to improve your final score!\r\n\r\n","post_title":"Rebuilding your statistics","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"rebuilding-your-statistics","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-15 15:44:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-15 19:44:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/?p=21285","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":21518,"id":21518,"title":"IMG_2234","filename":"IMG_2234-scaled-e1689085613854.jpeg","filesize":752604,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-scaled-e1689085613854.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/blog-du-pro\/attachment\/img_2234-2\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"img_2234-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":20408,"date":"2023-06-28 18:29:11","modified":"2023-06-28 18:29:11","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":2560,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-scaled-e1689085613854.jpeg","thumbnail-width":72,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-512x683.jpeg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":683,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-768x1024.jpeg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":1024,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-1024x1365.jpeg","large-width":1024,"large-height":1365,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-1152x1536.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1152,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-1536x2048.jpeg","2048x2048-width":1536,"2048x2048-height":2048,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-770x455.jpeg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-680x472.jpeg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-1100x726.jpeg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-1115x740.jpeg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-1440x400.jpeg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2234-600x600.jpeg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"Club choice based on the ball's landing area","prix":"","sous-titre":"The spot where your ball lies on the course will have a major influence on the club you will chose for your shot. Make better club decisions based on the ball's landing area.","liens":{"ID":21467,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2023-06-26 08:00:24","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-26 12:00:24","post_content":"Your golf bag contains several clubs, but it's very likely that you often use the same ones because you're used to playing them, or because you're more familiar with them than others. Many players are told not to use woods on long grass. Others will take a #3 wood down the fairway to cover a greater distance but hit the ball thin making it roll instead of flying. However, each club has its own purpose, depending on the resting place of your ball and the distance you wish to cover.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhen you arrive where the ball has landed after a shot, the first thing to do is to assess the distance you wish to cover. Depending on the distance, you'll have a better idea of which club to choose. For a refresher on the distance of each stick, I invite you to consult this past article<\/a><\/span>. Next, you need to assess the position of obstacles. Whether it's sand traps, ponds, trees, or simply the angle of the pitch, the ultimate goal is to avoid them or, at the very least, minimize the impact of the obstacle if it can't be avoided. For example, your ball is 160 yards from the green, but you need to overcome a water crossing at 150 yards. Using a 7-iron might land you directly in the water, but an 8 or 9-iron will take you right in front of the pond, making the approach to the next shot easier.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe third assessment is the elevation of the green. On some holes, the elevation of the green is quite obvious as it lies on a pronounced knoll, but on others, the elevation is more discreet. Once again, using a different club for each elevation is likely to pay off. Your placement on the green will be better, and you'll have the satisfaction of having used a new club! Finally, the last question many people forget to ask themselves is how the ball lands on the ground. In this case, you need to think about whether the striking face of your club is higher, equal or lower than the ball's equator. A ball resting in the hollow of a long lawn will not strike with the same bat as if it were overhanging it. Since centering the ball is important, you'll need to use the right club to hit the ball in the right position.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAt this point, you should be able to identify which club to use in which circumstances. If you combine the information in this article with that of the article on the yardage of each stick, your bag will never have seemed so diversified.

With the sun beating down on the course from morning to night, there really couldn't be better conditions to play an 18-hole round. In addition to the vacation season underway for many of us, some will be taking the opportunity to tee off several times a week in the hope of improving their performance. The weather has a big impact on how the ball behaves once hit, especially on the green. That's why, in this article, we'll look at putting in hot weather.\n\n\n\nThe first thing to keep in mind when practicing a putt is that the speed of the greens varies throughout the day. Often, the first golfers to tee off in the morning will encounter dew on the greens, which will slow the ball down considerably. By lunchtime, the ball will be moving faster as the green has had time to dry. At the end of the day, the turf often regrows a little, which again slows down the ball when hit. It's therefore important to bear in mind the time of day when you take to the green, to ensure a successful shot.\n\nGolfers at Owl's Head find our greens beautiful and, above all, challenging. The advice we give our visitors before they play is to try out the driving range. Ours has several targets at different angles, so you can get a first impression of the greens you'll come across on the course. If you're short on time, it's essential to test the speed of the green by choosing putts from 25 to 30 feet and, even if the direction isn't right, the aim is to stop the ball at the height of the hole.\n\n\n\nFinally, body stability will also play a big part in your performance on the green. Unlike other shots on the green, the putt requires very little movement of the thighs and pelvis in order to develop a better sense of size and pendulum versus distance from the target. On this shot, the aim is to create a pendulum-like movement from your shoulders to your club, so that you control the impact force of the shot and avoid sending your ball away from the hole. What's more, if your head tends to follow the head of your putter, the direction of your shot won't be aligned. Make sure you keep your head still until the moment of impact, then take your eyes off the ball and watch it fall into the cup.\n\nNow that you've mastered putting, all you have to do is master these techniques on the course. Take advantage of your free time to get out on the practice greens - you're sure to surprise your opponents in your next round!","post_title":"Putting in times of warm weather","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"coups-roules-grande-chaleur","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-11 10:03:40","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-11 14:03:40","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/?p=21573","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":21581,"id":21581,"title":"Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1","filename":"Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-scaled-e1692887543764.jpg","filesize":736440,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-scaled-e1692887543764.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/blog-en\/choisir-sa-balle\/attachment\/owls_head_golf_2023-1-2\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"owls_head_golf_2023-1-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":21584,"date":"2023-07-04 13:55:17","modified":"2023-07-04 13:55:17","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1707,"height":2560,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-scaled-e1692887543764.jpg","thumbnail-width":64,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-512x768.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":768,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-768x1152.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":1152,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-1024x1536.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":1536,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-1024x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-1365x2048.jpg","2048x2048-width":1365,"2048x2048-height":2048,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-770x455.jpg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-680x472.jpg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-1100x726.jpg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-1115x740.jpg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-1440x400.jpg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-1-600x600.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"Choosing your golf ball","prix":"","sous-titre":"There are many offers on the market.

Find out in this article.","liens":{"ID":21584,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2023-07-11 09:38:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-11 13:38:55","post_content":"The golf ball is a very interesting subject to tackle. Probably the most lost piece of equipment in woods and ponds, the ball is far from being a simple sphere that you hit shot after shot. A number of specific features make each ball react in a certain way. Whether it's the number of layers that form it, its speed and compression, or your level of play, all these elements will have an impact on the behavior of your shot. In this article, we'll cover the important aspects to consider when choosing a golf ball.\n\n\n\nIn the 90s, a colored number was printed on the ball to indicate its compression. A ball with a black number, for example, had a compression of 90 or more, while a ball with a pink number had a compression of around 60. The theory is that if a player wanted more distance, he would simply choose a higher compression ball. In other words, pros resorted to balls with a lot of compression, while beginners were directed towards balls with less compression to improve the sensation of control at impact.\n\nCompression is still an important consideration, despite the technological advances of recent years, but it is no longer a priority. Today's balls have variable compressions, which means that the compression ratio is no longer synonymous with the caliber of the ball. To choose the right bullet, you need to be comfortable with it at the moment of impact. In other words, you'll have to try several to find the one that's right for you.\n\nBall companies will distinguish themselves greatly on the precision of their product in the short game. Indeed, bats have greatly evolved in recent years and are capable of offering much greater distance than before, making the principle of compression less appropriate. In this sense, balls marked \"soft\" or \"super soft\" will offer a greater feel at impact on a lobbed or rolled shot, as well as more \"spin\", enabling better control on the green when landing. This is not the only aspect to consider when shopping for a ball. The speed of your tee shot is also important. A player who hits below 90 mph will be able to cover a greater distance with a \"soft\" ball since it will compress and explode more easily as it leaves the clubface.\n\n\n\nFor many players, a used ball is an option that takes precedence over a new one. Although they are not bad balls, there are a few aspects to consider when playing with them. For optimum performance, make sure the writing is legible and the color of the ball is clear. This means it's not too old or worn, and hasn't lost too many of its properties. This concept also applies to balls found in lakes and woodlands! Refurbished\" balls have been repainted and the writing redone. With them, there's no way of knowing the quality and wear, so they're likely to perform less well than others. For those of you who were wondering, driving range balls are not permitted on Quebec golf courses.\n\nIn the end, the best golf ball for you will be the one that gives you the best sensation on contact. Obviously, different ball technologies will have an impact on their performance, but if you're not comfortable with a certain ball, its characteristics won't bring you many advantages. Test the different styles and brands on the market, don't be intimidated by the technical specifications, and you're sure to find the ball that's right for you.","post_title":"Choosing your golf ball","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"choisir-sa-balle","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-11 10:05:10","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-11 14:05:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/?p=21584","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":21596,"id":21596,"title":"Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104","filename":"Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-scaled.jpg","filesize":508216,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/blog-en\/the-evolution-of-your-performance\/attachment\/owls_head_golf_2023-104-2\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"owls_head_golf_2023-104-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":21597,"date":"2023-07-04 18:32:24","modified":"2023-07-04 18:32:24","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1438,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":72,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-512x288.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":288,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-768x431.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":431,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-1024x575.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":575,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-1536x863.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":863,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-2048x1151.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1151,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-770x455.jpg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-680x472.jpg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-1100x726.jpg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-1115x740.jpg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-1440x400.jpg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-104-600x600.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"The evolution of your performance","prix":"","sous-titre":"Developing consistency isn't always easy in golf.

While there's nothing more pleasant than being on a golf course in the sunshine, performance too can be affected by the heat. Many golfers arrive in August and realize that their improvement is losing momentum. This is perfectly normal since we're not machines, but there's nothing to stop us from counteracting this effect. So the start of the season is all about progress, as we often go to the driving range before we play. As the weeks go by, the driving range becomes more deserted, and we focus on our game alone. It's when the shots pile up on the scoreboard that the negative spiral begins, and the slope becomes harder to climb back.\n\nWhen we notice a decline in our performance, pressing the \"reset\" button becomes the real challenge. In other words, you have to take the time to review your basic technique and start practicing again. Here are four aspects of the game that are worth working on during your season to improve your performance.\n\nThe first place to save (or lose) strokes is on the green. The slightest mistake on the green will have a huge impact on your final score, as the short game is very technical and precise. The length of your stroke is very important when putting. Over time, you may have become accustomed to hitting the ball a certain way, you no longer measure the length of your shot. In this case, you'll notice that the distance after contact is much greater than before contact. To master your putting stroke, it's crucial that your putter head covers the same distance before contact as after. This way, the energy transmitted during contact will be more uniform, so your contact will be cleaner and your stroke more precise.\n\n\n\nSecondly, short lobbed shots can be problematic, but for a completely different reason. This type of shot offers very little margin for error, which has a major impact on the psychological aspect of the game. When nervousness sets in, you can feel it in your hands, and small mistakes become very costly. Golf is a sport of concentration, but it's also a hugely enjoyable sport, so it's important that the fun factor is part of your game. Take the time to evaluate your shot, take a few practice swings to get comfortable, and, above all, enjoy the moment. You'll notice that you'll be thinking much less about the end result and more about your technique, which will show in your stroke. Similarly, your iron game will also be affected by your state of mind. Take the time to check your distances with everyone on the driving range, and you'll feel much more confident once you're out on the course.\n\nSo, a \"reset\" game can only be beneficial for the rest of your season. Not only will your concentration increase, but you'll also feel more confident about your next shots. Don't hesitate to take a step back and rework your basic technique when you notice that your performance is slipping; you'll notice that your bad bends are easy to undo.","post_title":"The evolution of your performance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"the-evolution-of-your-performance","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-11 10:09:26","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-11 14:09:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/?p=21597","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":21343,"id":21343,"title":"IMG_2083","filename":"IMG_2083-scaled.jpg","filesize":1238886,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/pitchcrm\/newsletter-of-june-7\/attachment\/img_2083\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"img_2083","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":21342,"date":"2023-06-06 19:47:33","modified":"2023-06-06 19:47:33","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-512x384.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":384,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-1024x768.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-1536x1152.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-2048x1536.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1536,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-770x455.jpg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-680x472.jpg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-1100x726.jpg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-1115x740.jpg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-1440x400.jpg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2083-600x600.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"Club tournaments are coming","prix":"","sous-titre":"Some are wondering whether or not they're going to take part.

While we're on the subject, why not talk about tournaments? The club tournament season is upon us, and the question that always comes up is: do I sign up or not? These events are a great opportunity to test your technique against experienced players. Even so, many golfers decide not to register because they don't want the pressure that comes with tournaments. This week, we're digging into the psychology of the golfer to help you reduce that feeling of pressure and perform better during tournaments!\n\n\n\nDon't ignore the pressure. This feeling is very real, but it can be controlled to reduce its impact on your performance. In my opinion, club championships are a big part of the performance in people's minds, and that's what holds a lot of people back. Many golfers will tend to judge their performance level negatively by trying to compare themselves to other participants. Of course, we often know who has a good chance of winning, because the best golfers don't miss the chance to take part in such jousts, but that doesn't mean that your place isn't deserved and that you're not welcome. I believe that those who don't sign up are missing an incredible opportunity to improve. In golf, as in any other sport, it's easy to become comfortable with your level of play and reach a plateau on which you sit. However, playing against new competitors allows you to learn more about your own game and discover areas for improvement that you would never have noticed otherwise.\n\nHere are two reasons why I think it's possible to be a better golfer at a championship. Firstly, the \"mindset\" of the tournament is different from any other round you'll play this season. As I mentioned earlier, we tend to be comfortable with our game and no longer challenge ourselves to improve. To avoid any negative apprehensions on this day, tell yourself that you'll be making it a real event that you're happy to take part in with friends. You'll feel less pressure to perform, and you'll find yourself in a more familiar and serene frame of mind, which will show in your game. I won't lie to you, this round will be more stressful than any other. On the other hand, if you allow yourself to live this experience to the full, you'll notice that your next friendly rounds will be more relaxed. After being exposed to an unfamiliar environment, your daily routine will be more comforting and relaxing than usual. You'll even notice that your momentum will be more consistent, less tense, and more natural than before.\n\nNow, what's your perspective on your golf club's next championship? If you're slowly starting to consider signing up, you're on the right track. Even if it's a different way of improving your game, don't miss out on these unprecedented opportunities to excel!

","liens":{"ID":22031,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2023-08-24 09:28:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-24 13:28:45","post_content":"Summer vacations are over for most of us, but the same can't be said for the golf season. With fall just around the corner, some may think that the course will slowly begin to deteriorate, but the opposite is true. Summer did its job and the course absorbed everything it needed to be in prime shape. What's more, the maintenance team has been working all summer to provide you with the best possible playing conditions. So it's not yet time to put away your clubs! The sand traps offer equal conditions all over the course, even on the practice field. No excuses, let's practice. Here are three technical points to work on at this time of year.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe first is to anchor your feet firmly in the sand. Since conditions are the same everywhere, you'll have the same anchoring point on the ground as on the practice field. Make sure you remain stable during your swing, as an unstable position will result in a loss of power and cause your club head to bounce sooner than expected. Swing back and forth two or three times. If your stance is stable, your stroke will be accurate.\r\n\r\nThe second is to check the exact position of the ball in relation to your feet versus where your iron hits the sand in the right place most of the time. Let me explain. When hitting the sand, you want to create a bounce with the face of your club so that the ball is not in direct contact with the club. This absorbs the impact of the club, creating a high but short lob shot. With the ball centered between your feet and your weight on your front leg, the sole of the club will be in the best position to insert itself just between the ball and the sand, giving it the desired lobed effect.\r\n\r\nThe last point is to open the face of the iron to help the soleplate slide through the sand and cause an explosion of height and force. Continuing the effort of the previous point, opening the face of your iron will allow it to slide under the ball, following a trajectory parallel to your ball. Conversely, if the face of your iron is too closed, your club will sink into the sand in a trajectory perpendicular to the ball. The result is a nice hole and a ball only slightly further forward than before impact.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSand traps represent one of the greatest challenges for any golfer, but they're also the least worked-on aspect of the driving range. Yes, they can be frustrating to practice, but once you've mastered them, you'll have much less trouble on your next round of golf.","post_title":"Weather is still nice, the course is in prime condition!","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"weather-is-still-nice-the-course-is-in-prime-condition","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-24 09:39:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-24 13:39:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/uncategorized\/il-fait-encore-beau-le-terrain-est-a-son-top\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":22039,"id":22039,"title":"DSC_8601","filename":"DSC_8601-scaled.jpg","filesize":756977,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/blog-en\/extend-your-season-with-the-right-clothes\/attachment\/dsc_8601-2\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"dsc_8601-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":22041,"date":"2023-08-24 13:44:56","modified":"2023-08-24 13:44:56","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1707,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":85,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-512x341.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":341,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-1024x683.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":683,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-2048x1365.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1365,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-770x455.jpg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-680x472.jpg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-1100x726.jpg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-1115x740.jpg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-1440x400.jpg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC_8601-600x600.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"Extend your season with the right clothes","prix":"","sous-titre":"Cooler temperatures are setting in, but there's no reason why you can't hit the trails.

At this time of year, the temperature changes by the hour, and afternoon sunshine is no guarantee of all-day warmth. In such conditions, being well-dressed allows you to extend your season and enjoy the fall colors in the field. To make sure you're well-prepared for your next round of golf, take a look at our clothing tips and make the most of the end of your season.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOn cool (or even cold) days, it's the layers of clothing that make the difference between being comfortable and shivering. The first layer should be synthetic. Glued to the skin, synthetics keep you dry by expelling moisture to the second layer. So even if you sweat, your skin won't stay damp, making it easier to maintain your body temperature. The second layer should hold in the heat. Here, we opt for a wool or synthetic fleece garment. It's important to use synthetics here too, and to avoid cotton fleece, as the latter stores moisture and water, rendering its heat-retaining function useless. And don't forget freedom of movement in the arms. A tank top would be ideal, as it will keep the internal organs warm while allowing the arms to move unencumbered.\r\n\r\nAmong the hazards of autumn, the wind factor is not negligible. You'll want to carry a lightweight windbreaker, preferably with a soft underarm fabric for ease of movement. Don't hesitate to try on several in the store. You'll find that some fabrics make more noise than others, which can become an irritant in the long run. Opt for a waterproof or water-resistant windbreaker and you'll be safe from surprise showers! These showers are rarely confined to the upper body. A pair of pants with a rubberized membrane will keep you dry all day long. Add to this a pair of water-resistant shoes and a toque in case of an unexpected drop in temperature.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIf you want to think about it further, pay attention to the \"wind\" index when you look at the weather forecast in the morning. Even if the forecast calls for mild weather, the wind can quickly turn the mercury upside down. If you're aware of this factor, you can dress accordingly before leaving the house. At worst, you'll take off a layer when the wind dies down!","post_title":"Extend your season with the right clothes","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"extend-your-season-with-the-right-clothes","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-24 09:50:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-24 13:50:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/uncategorized\/prolongez-votre-saison-avec-les-vetements-appropries\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":22037,"id":22037,"title":"OH golf-3","filename":"OH-golf-3-scaled.jpg","filesize":1167749,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/blog-en\/extend-your-season-with-the-right-clothes\/attachment\/oh-golf-3-2-2\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"oh-golf-3-2-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":22041,"date":"2023-08-24 13:44:23","modified":"2023-08-24 13:44:23","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1919,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-512x384.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":384,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-1024x767.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":767,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-1536x1151.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1151,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-2048x1535.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1535,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-770x455.jpg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-680x472.jpg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-1100x726.jpg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-1115x740.jpg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-1440x400.jpg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/OH-golf-3-600x600.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"The effect of the weather on your game","prix":"","sous-titre":"The colder it gets outside, the more the ball's behavior changes.

Although the temperature is dropping, many great rounds of golf are still on the horizon. One thing's for sure: the changing weather is having an effect on our game. Whether it's our movements becoming more jerky on colder days, or the trajectory of our ball varying with the wind, we need to start anticipating the weather and making a few adjustments to our game. Today, let's talk ball, sticks, and tips for maintaining your performance level despite the weather!\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhen playing at the end of the season, as in the last few days, the ball doesn't react as usual. The reason is quite simple. The colder it gets, the harder the ball becomes, and the more compression it loses (for more details on compression, you can revisit this article<\/a>). By losing this famous compression, the explosion on contact will be smaller, resulting in a loss of distance. Taking this factor into account, your choice of club will be made accordingly. To help you interpret your distances, here's an approximate measurement chart for a #7 iron:\r\n
- \r\n \t
- 22 Celsius and more = full distance<\/li>\r\n \t
- 14 to 21 Celsius = 3 to 5 yards less<\/li>\r\n \t
- 7 to 13 Celsius = 6 to 8 yards less<\/li>\r\n \t
- 0 to 6 Celsius = 8 to 12 yards less<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nFor context, let's take the example of hole #16. Designed in the shape of a peninsula, the tee and green are separated by a large pond that requires a direct approach to the green. Typically, an 8-iron would be the club of choice to achieve this approach without blowing it up. On a 5-degree day in October, a 7-iron would be a better option, considering the previous table. In such conditions, a golfer teeing off on hole 13 will have to completely rethink his strategy. Normally, the predominant strategy is to hit beyond the sand trap before the elbow. A more conservative tee shot is likely to pay off at this point in your round.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAs you can see, distances vary greatly according to temperature. To optimize your choice of club and your playing strategy, consult the weather app on your phone. That way, you'll know what kind of distance you'll be able to reach, and at what angle of attack you'll start your hole.","post_title":"The effect of the weather on your game","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"the-effect-of-the-weather-on-your-game","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-24 10:17:47","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-24 14:17:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/uncategorized\/leffet-de-la-meteo-sur-votre-jeu\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"image":{"ID":22058,"id":22058,"title":"Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185","filename":"Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-scaled.jpg","filesize":884116,"url":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/en\/blog-en\/season-retrospective\/attachment\/owls_head_golf_2023-185-2\/","alt":"","author":"48","description":"","caption":"","name":"owls_head_golf_2023-185-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":22063,"date":"2023-08-24 14:22:03","modified":"2023-08-24 14:22:03","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1440,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":72,"medium":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-512x288.jpg","medium-width":512,"medium-height":288,"medium_large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-768x432.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":432,"large":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-1024x576.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":576,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-1536x864.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":864,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-2048x1152.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1152,"latest":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-770x455.jpg","latest-width":770,"latest-height":455,"cta":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-680x472.jpg","cta-width":680,"cta-height":472,"slider-promo":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-1100x726.jpg","slider-promo-width":1100,"slider-promo-height":726,"image-list":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-1115x740.jpg","image-list-width":1115,"image-list-height":740,"banner":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-1440x400.jpg","banner-width":1440,"banner-height":400,"square_md":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Owls_Head_Golf_2023-185-600x600.jpg","square_md-width":600,"square_md-height":600}},"titre":"Season retrospective","prix":"","sous-titre":"After a colorful season, taking the time to look back helps you prepare for the season ahead!","liens":{"ID":22063,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2023-08-24 10:23:41","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-24 14:23:41","post_content":"This is it. The season is officially over. As magnificent as it has been, the time has come to pack up your equipment or, for the lucky ones, prepare your golf trip to extend your season. An interesting thing to do at this time of year is to look back on your season. Remembering your best and worst shots, your best hole, or the best day of your season helps you get through the winter. Whether you're a recreational or competitive golfer, looking back on your season helps you remember the good times of the year, which in turn helps your development as a player.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nRecreational golfers will look back on their season in terms of the fun they had, the beautiful weather, and the new encounters made on the course or at the Club Haus after their round. By reliving these moments, this type of golfer is already creating a buzz for the season to come, and keeping the passion for the sport alive inside him or her.\r\n\r\nFor a competitive golfer, the end of the season brings its share of questions. At this point, it's time to ask yourself what you did well and, more importantly, what you could do better in the coming season. The answer to this question is, in fact, a combination of three things.\r\n
- \r\n \t
- Consult your golf professional. With him or her, you'll be able to set your goals for next season, but you'll also be able to discuss exercises to practice during the winter season to get off to a strong start from the opening date in 2024. As long as these goals are achievable, you'll notice a marked improvement in your game.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Find a space for physical training. It's important not to spend winter inactive and to take advantage of this period to develop your fitness, cardio, and flexibility. Whether you find a sports activity to practice, join a gym, or work out in your basement, all formulas are good for not being too bored after your first round of golf.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Find a place to play golf in winter. Now very popular, indoor golf centers make it possible to practice the sport, whatever the weather outside. Even if the feeling isn't the same as on the course, this is still the best option for practicing your shots and measuring their impact on the course. Alternatively, a putting mat in the living room can do the job just as well!<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis concludes the 2023 golf season. Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the course, the terrace, and the whole of Owl's Head Golf Club. Take advantage of the winter period to rest up while continuing to practice while you can. We look forward to seeing you next year, and stay tuned for the official opening date for the 2024 season!","post_title":"Season retrospective","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"season-retrospective","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-12 10:02:53","post_modified_gmt":"2023-10-12 14:02:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/owlshead.com\/uncategorized\/retrospective-sur-votre-saison\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}}]}],"menu_language_white":false},"yoast_head":"\n

- Full swing: Whether it's your tee shot or an iron, the full swing is the movement that uses the maximum amount of muscle and body twist. The key to success with this type of stroke is to \"take it easy\" at the beginning of the season. The reason is that good technique is more important than using maximum force in this stroke. Get your body used to the movement by starting with swings that are weak in strength but strong in stability. You will be more confident in your next round, but more importantly, you can begin to gradually add strength to subsequent swings.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\n
