The consistency you get with the Eureka golf swing is purely because you've moved the axis of your body, so you're staring on your head slightly ahead of the golf ball at impact.

That's giving you your flat left wrist. That's where you're getting your ball turf strike.

through the shot in their life are now able to turn through the golf shot and they

sustain that compression for longer.

So they get the club face square to target for longer and dispersions come way in.

0:32.9

They've gained distance as well because strikes pure.

They're now getting the ball tough strike. So therefore distances up and dispersion's brought in.

Welcome to the Golf Smarter podcast, Steve. Hey Fred, how are you? I'm fine. Where am I calling to you today? Where are you? I'm in Scotland. I'm in a little town called Peebles, which is in the Scottish borders just south of Edinburgh, about 30 minutes drive south of Edinburgh. How's the weather today? Weather's fine. Every day. Well, you know, it's very autumnal now, to be honest with you. We are, it's,

1:29.3

we are in the fall, as you guys say. And golf season is coming to an end. But it's my job to

try and keep golfers golfing all winter. So that is my mission at this time of year.

1:39.9

Well, that's an interesting mission. And what happens when the golf season comes to an end in Peebles? People go indoors to practice. How does that work for you?

We're busy with visitors. We've got a lot of guests that come to the golf course, but certainly we do see that drop off towards mid to end of October.

2:27.5

So we have almost 800 members at the club, 400 that are actively golfing, if you like.

2:34.6

But we try and keep as many golfers as we possibly can at this time of year, which is a challenge that we're all faced with.
