A small part of me would like to keep the things I learned on John Guy’s course on ‘Tactics For GC’ last week, a closely guarded secret.
I’m sure the other eight participants on the short 8th August course feel exactly the same.
I’ve thought long and hard about whether to write extensively about the useful tips we picked up on that drizzly morning at Stoney Ley…and eventually decided against it!
The long and the short of it is that you NEED to go on this incredibly useful training session in order to improve your tactical golf croquet thinking.
I had no idea, for example, of the tactics you need to employ in order to play odd and even number hoops effectively.
I hear you say “Odd and even number hoops???”
EXACTLY !!
That’s why you need to go on this course the next time John runs it.
This course should appeal to ALL players but may be particularly useful to those who play in handicap team, have a high handicap, or haven’t been playing for very long. Even lower handicap players would pick up useful tips on John’s course.
As well as teaching tactics, John also gave tips on how to use marbles (extra strokes) effectively in handicap matches – a useful tool to have especially if you are considering playing in a handicap GC team or are participating in the club’s various annual handicap competitions.
John has taught this course twice now – the first training was held on 20th July and was also well-attended. High Handicap squad member Vivien Ellis’s review of the course can be found here.
I can’t recommend this short course highly enough.
If you would like to be considered for inclusion on John’s next training session (TBA), email him at the usual place. It’s well worth it.
