Personalised Putting

I am lucky to coach putting at a great indoor facility at Clydeway Golf and Performance Centre in Glasgow.  Apart from the odd rare day like yesterday (Sept 19th) it is always open for business.  Storm Ali was too much for us this week and we had to close the range for safety reasons.  Anyway, […]
