Performance Based Practice Focuses Attention

Landyn Edwards visulising the shot and deep in focus before he plays, the goal here is the square 135 meters away but to get there you must first start you ball on line.
Ruel Pedersen has a different distraction here, again having the correct starting line and finishing postion with your ball are the focus.
 

Controling your ball flight and carry distance are the focus here, with Doug Mathews and Tavita Solomona landing the ball on the towel.

This is circuit training golf style, Five balls are played from each station and all shots are recorded before moving onto the next station.

Saini also went and one her matches playing at number 8 and said a great speech to the squad about her tough year so far.
Chantelle played number 1 for the Waikato this weekend in Omaha and won her two matches but lost her third match against Celica Cho world number 2 Amateur in the world.

Both Chantelle and Grace are playing this week in the New Zealand Under 19 Championship at the Omanu Golf Club http://www.golf.co.nz/Events/National.aspx

Rotana got better and better in China but the heat and a poor diet cost her in the first two rounds, she did have a great time and is looking forward to getting back. I caught up with Marie today and she is having a meeting with Dave and the other course tutors today to discuss Rotana’s options.   

Ruel and Andrew both had a tough time at the North Harbour Stroke play over the weekend with the wind and heavy rough making the course very difficult, they both finished in the middle of the field.
