Twelve women were nominated by their clubs to attend a new round of Skills Clinics in early 2025. Melissa Taylor will be conducting the 4 sessions at Leongatha Golf Club on Sundays 12th & 19th January, and 2nd &16th February. Each session runs 8:30-10:00.
Participants will benefit from Melissa Taylor’s individualised advice and their targeted practice sessions of golfing skills including putting, short game and course management.
Session 2 focused on the short game of chipping, with different distances to chip from and points awarded for being ‘in close’. Melissa also discussed the set up for varying lies and the importance of considering how far the ball will run after landing, when using different clubs.
Session 3 also focused on short game skills, but this time the focus was on pitching – again comparing the difference in distances achieved with different clubs. There was also an emphasis on accurate alignment in order to come close to the intended target.
