We always keep an eye on what Paige Spiranac is up to and in particular her instruction series ‘Quickies with Paige’. As Paige says, the bump and run shot is not as exciting as a 'bomb' off the tee or a flop shot but it is one of the most useful shots in golf. The technique is fairly easy to pick up but here are the key points from Paige's video. Simples! Now go practice.
In the blue corner multi major winner and legend in his lifetime Phil ‘Lefty’ Mickelson and in the pink corner former LPGA player and Instagram sensation Paige Spiranac.

There is no other way to say this but last week was a killer. The workouts alongside a heavy workload and a couple of work functions were tough (its important at this point in case our other halves are reading to emphasis these soirees were work related and we really didn’t enjoy them!).

The maxim that you can’t teach old dogs’ new tricks has firmly been dispatched this week as the “Lab Rats” as we have affectionately been called have truly turned over a new leaf, at least for the next 6/7 weeks are concerned.
