Video Tutorial: The Swing Path

Written by  Andrew Wild on Thursday, 15 September 2011
The swing path is one of the biggest influences on how you're going to control the golf ball.




What I mean by your swing path is the line you're swinging the golf club in relative to the target line. One of the best ways of learning how to get the ideal swing path for you is by experimentation - and that's where the Power Tee is very useful.

What I mean by experimentation is actually practising different swing paths. That means one where you're going from in to out, then practising another swing path where you're actually coming across the line from out to in. 

By you playing around and experimenting with those swing paths, you're going to start to notice and feel the difference. It's that feeling and learning that takes place that allows you to then select the one that works best for you, and as a result I'm sure that you're going to hit a lot more straight shots.

Andrew manages all aspects of Sandford Springs including Food and Beverage, Golf, Finance and Memberships.

Andrew originally met the Chairman, Paul Gibbons, when he was an assistant Golf Pro at Reading Golf Club 28 years ago.

Interestingly, 15 years later Andrew was giving Paul a series of lessons, during which he mentioned there was a club in Hampshire which was up for sale. After going to visit the club, Mr Gibbons ended up buying Sandford Springs. 

Andrew joined the company a couple of years later and six years on, he became the General Manager at the club they had first discussed all that time ago.

Andrew has a deep passion for the game of golf, which aids his enthusiasm in all his endeavours at Sandford Springs. Aside from playing, he enjoys simply being around the golf club and takes a great interest in looking after his members.

He believes that the atmosphere at Sandford Springs is second to none and finds it such a pleasure to be involved with the club that, in his own words – "Sometimes it doesn't even feel like work".
