We are here at Havio Golf Club
0:09
and I'm here with one of the pros, Letitia, who's just returned from England
0:14
Now, you're not here all the time, are you're busy doing tournaments all over? Yeah, so I'm the local pro here at Havio Golf Club
0:21
and I also coach here, as well as I'm a touring pro. And honestly, it's something that I really enjoy doing
0:26
I also as well enjoy competing. So combining the two at the minute and love both equally
0:32
Perfect. So today I would love to try a golf lesson if you're happy to do that. Absolutely
0:36
Let's do it. Let's give it a try. So I can see that you've got a stick here
0:55
How does it help the lessons and what is it used for? Okay. So this is what we call. and alignment stick and we're going to place this between the ball and our feet and this is what we
1:03
use to make sure that we're aiming at our target so we're going to place that if we're going at
1:09
the blue target we're going to place that stick between the ball and our feet so that's now aligned
1:15
at our target okay how was that for a first go yeah how did you enjoy that really enjoyed it
1:25
difficult but got there it is very difficult now obviously that was me but as a beginner how do they get started well to be honest it's just showing up at the
1:33
golf course a lot of people think that you know golf isn't accessible to anybody but you are
1:37
free and welcome to come to have a golf course pick up a set of clubs and rent the set
1:41
and hit some balls on your own and just give it a go You know Nice 40 40 yards nearly So that really good Into the wind as well So that spin rate was about 3 revolutions Yeah so we got a lot of good data here that we can compare in a while time
2:15
So before I know, you can hit the long drive, but this is the important part where you've got to part
2:19
and get it in the hole. Absolutely. So like a 300-yard drive can cost you the same
2:23
as like a little two-footer here on the patting green. So we've come to practice some patting
2:28
The secret to putting is we've got to choose a line where we're going to hit it along
2:33
and then try and match that with the speed of what we want the ball going in the hole
2:37
So we're trying to do two things. And you're going to feel like you're just instead of just like
2:41
hitting it with your hands, you're going to feel like you're rocking the shoulders. Okay? Okay
2:46
A little bit firm that one. Have a look at your target
2:50
So it's got to be a lot softer Okay, so Okay, somewhere in between those
2:54
Nice and soft Natural That's pointing a little bit left There would be good, perfect
3:02
Nice, good Good Oh close So close Good So how did I do
3:15
Will I be on the next tour It takes a little bit of practice But you did very, very well
3:19
I'm proud of you What's next for you? Any tournaments lined up? Yeah, so I've got some local events as well
3:24
And then I've got some in the UK And then a big one coming up here at Liseo Golf Club
3:29
So I'm preparing for that And some other events finishing off the season
3:34
We wish you all the best Thank you very much Thank you
