Junior Interclub 2010

Kaiapoi entered 2 teams in the Canterbury Junior Interclub Competition 2010.  While each team has 4 playing members we really  have to have 6 players per team as unavailability for different reasons over the long period that this competition is played means some one will always not be available all the time.

Usually the games all start at approx 8-30am and are 18 holes per day, we need help from the parents in transporting the kids to and fro, more info closer to the times.

Players to meet at the chipping green for 30-minute theory and practical session on pre shot routine.

We will discuss what a routine actually is and each player will write down what theirs is. Any changes will be discussed on how this can be improved and written down.Players then formed into groups of 3 and tee off from #1.

Cards to be filled out with Stableford points, signed and returned.

Coach to follow a couple of holes with each group observing pre shot routine and how players stick to it.

Players to meet at putting green for 2-hour session.

The first part of the lesson takes students through a range of putting exercises based on alignment and distance control. Followed by a competition. The second hour involves extending the putting swing and relating those principles to chipping. The back swing is lengthened to control distance with a couple of set up changes needed to hit the ball on more of a descending angle.

Today’s session will be a repeat of skills testing carried out in Session 1.

The aim is to establish each player’s new level of ability in thiarea.

Set out on both the greens will be different stations players will move around recording their results of each exercise.

Putting will test, short (under 5 ft), medium (15 feet) and long (40 feet).

Chipping will test, short pitching wedge landing on and off the green, medium length pitching wedge landing on and off the green, short and medium length 7 iron chip landing on the green.

Results will be kept for comparisons in future testing.
