• The Simple Golf Ball and How it Affects Your Game
  
  This topic is dear to my heart and I have had many a discussion with members at my club regarding what type of golf ball they are using. The answer is usually the same. They use different golf balls from day to day, sometimes using different types and makes in the course of a single round. Just bear with me for a moment while I explain how this can affect your scores and handicap in a big way.
• Golf Handicap & Course Management
  
  It's a Sunday morning in the Pro Shop at Winterfield Golf Club and I am handing out scorecards for the weekly golf competition, when in walks Jim, a club member bemoaning his luck on the golf course. I asked him what's wrong and he replied that they should dig up the 13th hole. I can never make a par there he says, it always messes up my scorecard along with a few other holes I could mention.
• Golf is All in the Head
  
  If I had a pound for every time I've heard a well meaning golfer say to his friend or golf partner for the day "You lifted your head, thats why you hit a bad golf shot, Keep your head down" I would be very rich indeed. This one piece of well intended advice is a killer for a good golf swing ... please do not Keep your head down - KEEP YOUR HEAD STILL.
• Golf Preparation
  
  Golf is a game of ups and downs - one minute you are playing the game of your life and the next you can’t do a thing right. So how do you get consistency into your game of golf? The obvious answer is through practice, because most of us if we are being honest do not practice our golf game anywhere near enough.
• Whats in a Club Pros Golf Bag
  
  I have been playing golf as a professional for over 30 years and have used a lot of different companies during this time when choosing the right golf bag, golf glove, golf clubs, golf shoes etc etc. for my game. I am not one of the tour pros who get paid vast amounts to endorse their products; I have to pay for mine albeit at a discount on the trade price. So this is not an advertisement for the company, it is my honest opinion as a Golf Professional on the quality of the golf gear I use.

• A Brief Article On the History of Golf
  
  Golf has been played for a long, long time, and still it's exact origins are unclear. The origin of golf is still open to debate as to to whether the Chinese, Dutch or Scottish were the first. Some historians trace golf history back to a Dutch game called het kolven, then there's the French and Belgian game called chole, another French game called jeu de mail, and would you believe an English game called cambuca.
• The Winterfield Golf Club
  
  When one approaches Winterfield Golf Course, on a summers day, from a westerly direction what a marvelous vista enfolds. St. Margarets, the present clubhouse, stands out like a monolithic sentinel mistress of all she surveys. Twin-blue backdrops, an azure sky and cerulean sea, shimmering sands and verdant fairways create a picturesque setting by which even confirmed cynics and stoics have been heard to be impressed.
