🎯 Elevate Your Game with Performance Practice – Fridays 4–5 pm


Are you ready to take your golf practice beyond aimless range sessions? Join our new Performance Practice Hour, designed to build skill, sharpen focus, and deliver results where it matters most: on the course.


When? Every Friday, 4–5 pm

Where? Stonecutters Ridge Golf Club


This is not your average hit-and-giggle practice. It’s structured, purposeful, and fun – built around the philosophy that quality beats quantity.


🔍 What is Performance Practice?


Performance Practice is the bridge between technical work and real scoring improvement. Instead of mindlessly beating balls or doing the same putting drills over and over, you’ll engage in focused sessions with clear goals and competitive games that simulate on-course pressure.


Each week, we’ll target a different area of the game, for example:


✅ Putting – green reading, pace control, pressure drills

✅ Chipping – trajectory selection, landing spots, short-game challenges

✅ Full swing – technique checkpoints, shot-shaping, on-range targets

✅ Specialty shots – bunker play, knockdowns, recovery shots

We’ll combine slow, mindful technical work (to make changes that last) with performance games designed to test you under pressure.



⭐ Why It Works


More Fun – Games and challenges keep practice engaging.

More Realistic – Simulates on-course decision-making and pressure.

More Effective – Combines technique and performance so changes hold up on the course.

More Personalised – Drills and coaching tailored to participants’ needs.

This approach is proven to help players of all levels transfer their skills from the range to the course, where it really counts.


📅 Join Us Fridays

Whether you’re a competitive golfer or just want to shoot lower scores on the weekend, these sessions are for you.

✅ Fridays 4–5 pm

✅ Small group environment

✅ All levels welcome


Spaces are limited to ensure quality coaching and personal feedback.


 
 
 

Elevate Your Game: Now Offering Smart2Move Dual Force Plate Analysis

At Blake Dowd Golf, I’m constantly seeking the best tools and technologies to help my players improve faster and smarter. That’s why I’m excited to announce the addition of Smart2Move Dual Portable Force Plates to my coaching setup at Stonecutters Ridge!

These force plates are a game-changing addition to our high-performance coaching environment—and here’s why they matter to your game.


What Are Smart2Move Force Plates?


Smart2Move Dual Force Plates are advanced ground reaction force measurement tools that help us understand exactly how your body interacts with the ground during your swing. In golf, how you use the ground plays a huge role in generating speed, balance, and consistency.

These plates measure:

  • Vertical Force – How hard you push into the ground

  • Horizontal (Shear) Force – How you shift or slide your weight

  • Torque – How much rotational force you’re creating through your feet

  • Center of Pressure – How your weight moves during the swing


Why Is This Important?


Whether you’re a beginner, elite amateur, or aspiring pro, how you generate and time ground forces can make or break your swing.

Using the Smart2Move system, we can now:


✅ Identify power leaks or inefficiencies

✅ Optimize how you load and explode through the ground

✅ Compare your force patterns to elite players

✅ Tailor drills and swing changes based on real, measurable data

✅ Track improvement over time with side-by-side analysis


It removes the guesswork and gives us objective feedback we can build your swing around.


How It Benefits You


With force plate insights, I can now:

  • Build more efficient and powerful swings

  • Help you generate more clubhead speed without extra effort

  • Improve balance, rhythm, and timing

  • Create custom movement drills to match your body and goals

  • Prevent injury by improving sequencing and footwork

Best of all, the Smart2Move plates are fully portable and can be used indoors or on the range, seamlessly integrated into your regular lesson or performance session.
