Golf news Gecko Pro Tour Event in Spain. 

Down at Gecko Pro Tour Event in Malaga last week.  Met up with Paul Netherton who runs the new tour on the Costa Del Sol.  He and his team are doing a great job and have a really good following.  Top class players are entering and putting in some good score.  Also great to meet up with Nick Lane, top bloke and someone i suggest you do not argue with.  If you are interested in learning more about the tour contact me or speak directly to Paul on www.geckoprotour.com – Thanks Paul and i look forward to a great working relationship.  See you on the 11th March at Marbella Country Club.

Golf news Equipment

While there i was armed with my ‘Eyes’, Video/Camera and the SAM putt lab.  It is important that i can show players exactly what they are doing and how to make sure they understand more. 

Golf news SAM putt lab

SAM putt lab is a great piece of equipment and if you are serious about your game then please try it out.  There is nothing like it and nothing to compare.  I am lucky enough to be meeting with the inventor Christian Marquardt from the German company ‘Science and Motion’ on Thursday in Majorca to get up to date with training.  I am to be their representative on the ladies tour this season and be an advanced trainer.  If anyone would like to see any information then please see the attached record from Jordan Gibb – i know he will be ok with me showing how good he is – if you need to see what they can do then visit the web site www.scienceandmotion.com

Golf news Liam Murray from England/Spain

While in Malaga had the opportunity to make sure Liam Murray was putting well.  He struggled on the first day and after a few moments we had his set up and grip sorted.  The two photos will show how Liam lapsed into the grip of the putter being in his fingers and was causing him to Pull the ball left of the target – he was actually adding ‘hook spin’ to the ball.  A great second round 4 under – best of the day was the result.

Golf news Tom Coulson from England

Also met up with Tom Coulson.  Tom moved across to Spain a few months ago and is a great golfer and hits the balls miles.  Unfortunately, he had problems with his putting but we’ve sorted it.  The two photos show how he managed to get to a bad habit on sitting too far behind the ball.  A slight alteration as you can see in photo two, now shows Tom in a central more solid set up.  Means he is now hitting the ball out of the centre and able to add a great ball roll.  Well Done pal.

Golf news Ladies Banesto Pro Tour of Spain

Fortunately for me the ladies Banesto tour was at the same golf club a day after the Gecko tour, so, killed two birds with one stone.  Introduced myself and then met a few of the girls around the green.  Able to catch up with Rhian Wyn Thomas to make sure she is ok?  Really happy with her putting she replied, like to hear that and it showed!

Golf news Giulia Franchini from Italy

While there met with Giulia Franchini who i met at Q school at La Manga three years ago.  She has decided to go back into playing more events.  We worked on her set and approach to putting.  Yes, putting is mental but you have to have the ability to aim and set up correctly.  Well Giulia and good luck.

Golf news Barbara Genuini from France

Barbara was also there, after successfully gaining her Ladies tour card she decided to come to Malaga in preparation for the tour.  She and i worked together at Q school in December.  She is putting well but we had to make a couple of adjustments to make sure things were right.  Well done Barbara, see you at Zaragoza later in the month.

Golf news Monia Bernardo from Portugal

This is my first time to meet Monia but she is a good putter and we did a little work to establish understanding of the fundamentals.  Her pace was a little slow so we developed a plan to make it more consistent.  Well done Monia, good work and see you soon.

Golf news Allianz Pro Golf Tour

well done to the lads who went to Q school for the Allianz tour.  Excellent work and congratulations to Dani Alonso and Carlos Aguilar Quesada.

Golf news MLA Putters

i am really pleased a excited to be named as the tour representative for MLA putters from Sweden – they are a putter with a difference.  An optical effect by a line on the putter helps you to aim correctly and thus help you to set up true to the target.  Have a look at the web site for the putters i’ll be having with me by Wednesday www.mla-putters.com

Golf news Carl Siddall

great to meet up with Carl Siddall who is out here at the moment working on his game in preparation for Europro Q School.  His first year back after a break and he is only 23.  Good luck ‘lad’ and make sure you are ready.

My Life in Golf

Glenn BillingtonI picked up the golf club when i was around 14.  As i got older work and the fairer sex were the priority and i decided that golf should wait.  My life circumstances changed and at the age of 36 i started playing golf again, in a society and then the bug hit!  After only a few months i had a handicap of five and as i practiced and my putting got better and I lowered it to 0.6.

My day was one that allowed me to retire early and i wanted something that would keep me active and involved in golf.  Practice and then the ideas of becoming a golf coach were achievable.  Support was the key, thanks to my darling wife Yvonne.

Glenn BillingtonThe Art of Putting

I decided to specialise in the art of putting.  I approached the aims in a number of ways.  Soaking up what other people had learned and what their fundamentals were.  I looked at Harold Swash, Paul Hurrion and Dave Pelz, there were others but these three were the names who made the influence that now has established my own beliefs and fundamentals.  So, thank you to them all.
I achieved level two of the Swash Putting accreditation and then my learning allowed me to experiment and work with some great players, those that had been there and done it – Phil Archer and Jose Manuel Lara and several others.
Younger players followed and i noticed that my style of coaching is long term, not a short term fix, it has to be or the feel will not develop and the player would be thinking of technique all the time.

Putting Coach in Spain

I am a resident of Spain, in the Murcia area, originally from the Birmingham area of the United Kingdom.  I decided to move here as the weather is right, the golf courses and resorts are fantastic and the access to the rest of Europe if excellent.
I have my putting studio situated on the golf resort called El Valle in Murcia and i work in partnership with many resorts here.

Glenn BillingtonGolf Instruction available to all

I will help anybody who is serious about improving their golf, in particular their putting.  I help many players on all the professional tours, from the Satellite tours to the main European tour and the senior tours.  There are players from Europe, plus players from the United States. 

I work with many younger players, aspiring players, amateurs and professionals, i feel that guiding them towards their goal is a desire i have. 
Every player can improve their game if they concentrate on improving their putting.  A twenty eight handicap player can probably be five shots better?  New players should work hard on their putting and then build up to the full swing, keep it simple and get the feel you need!

My fundamentals and beliefs

It is so important that the clubface impacts with the ball in a ‘square on’ position to the target!  The putting stroke needs to be a repeatable action and i feel that this should be done in a natural and instinctive way.  Therefore, the set up is the pivot of the putting stroke.  If we are square to the target line and the geometry of our aim is correct then we will be able to make that perfect stroke and allow the ball to head towards the target on the correct line.  All in all, the ‘set up’ is important to making a great putting stroke!

Reaching your long term golfing desires through team work

Glenn BillingtonSo many players say to me ‘i am a feel player’.  But what are they feeling, what are the areas where they feel?  We have to work  as a team, there are no other options.  We work together and we build trust and understanding in what we both need to do to make the putting stroke instinctive, individual and effective.  The more we understand the technical side then the more we understand where we feel.  Then, the more we become a ‘feel player’.  What are our bio-mechanics like and how to attain the repeatable set up.

So, please read on, see how i can help you become the putter you need to be to achieve success, the player who walks on the green knowing he has the ability and skill to sink any putt!  


GOLF TEACHING EQUIPMENT I USE

Sam LabScience & Motion SAM putt lab - I chose the best piece of equipment on the market - the Science & Motion SAM PUTT lab. The SAM putt lab helps me to diagnose what is going on and what we need to do to help us ensure your putting stroke is pure and repeatable.  It also helps you to ensure you have the correct putter for yourself or your students.  Please go to the link to see how it can help you, I fully recommend it and you will never regret having one.  If you need any help then please contact me as this will make the complete package for your future.  I can provide you with the support and training you need when you decide you want to go down the SAM putt lab route.


Sam LabGasp Systems Analysis software - A great video system is essential.  Most coaches do use video and I am no different.  It is so important that the coach sees and so does the player.  We must be able to see exactly what is happening and how we look when we are in a great position.  I use Gasp systems Golf Swing Analysis Software.  It is specific and easy to use.
