Coaching news

Improve your golf in 2019

Three signs that you may need a golf lesson...

You don’t have a consistent ball flight?

In other words, you hit draws, hooks or fades and slices. It’s impossible to become a better golfer if you are constantly hitting the golf ball in two different directions.

You have more than 30 putts per round?

Putting is where so many shots are lost in golf and is a must golf lesson for all golfers. Most touring professionals average less than 30 putts per round. Whilst we are not expecting your average club golfer to reach this level, putting makes up the largest percentage contribution to your overall golf score and is an area that always has room for improvement.

You hit several fat and thins shots?

Strike is king! If you’re not at least hitting the golf ball somewhere near the centre of the clubface you’re going to struggle. There is every chance you are missing fairways, greens and getting yourself into constant trouble.

If you're hitting any of these shots and want to stop, contact us now here or call 01275 392229 to book your lesson.

PGA Professional Stuart, is offering this package to help you prepare to have your best season yet. You will receive the following;

- 1x 2hour on-course lesson

Fitting news

Find the perfect putter

Is your putting letting you down? Are you fed up of those three putts creeping into your round? The putter is the most important club in your bag and putting is the most important part of the game. Studies show that on average around 43% of your strokes are with a putter in a round of golf.

Therefore, if your struggling with your putting pop into the Professional Shop to speak to a member of the team, we can advise you on what putter best suits your stroke and also if your technique is causing you troubles.We have a selection of Odyssey, PING and Scotty Cameron putters in different styles to accommodate everyone. The right putter can go a long way towards helping you to reduce your score.

The perfect layers

There’s no such thing as bad weather for golf – just a poor choice of clothing. You might have got away with the old ‘raincheck’ excuse a few years ago, but golf clothing has come a long way since then. All you need to do is make sure you’re properly layered up with golf-specific garments and you’re good to go.

First layer
Flynn long-sleeve polo

Mid-layer
Kelvn fleece

Outer-layer
Zero Gravity Tour jacket

One such garment is the Zero Gravity Tour waterproof jacket from PING, which has been engineered to keep you warm, dry and playing golf during the winter months. It works best with the Flynn long-sleeve polo and Kelvin sweater layered underneath if you're looking for the full outfit.

Nothing but progress

When you’re working out how you want to take the first step to improving your golf game, you can often hit a roadblock straight away. After all, you might have heard every piece of advice from your golfing mates about how to cure that nasty slice, but you’re still carving it right off the tee. Well, we’ve got two foolproof ways of getting your golf ball in play and that handicap tumbling...

Golf Lessons

Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results is foolish. So, if there’s a part of your game that always lets you down, come and have a lesson with a member of the team – we’ll be able to tailor the session to your exact needs and make sure you leave happy.

Custom Fitting

Lots of new products will be getting released over the coming weeks, so if you’re after something new, make sure you come for a custom fitting to get the most out of any new purchase. You'll really get the VIP treatment and will leave with a much better understanding about your game.
