The Grand Opening

Monday 27th August is the official grand opening of our new Swing Studio. Here is what we will be offering and a price list for our services:

Practice/ Self-analysis:

- 30 mins £10

- 60 mins £15

For players looking to get the most from their practice, using the simulator on driving range mode gives you the ultimate feedback. Carry and total distance, shot dispersion, spin rates, club path and face data are all supplied.

Rounds of Golf:

- 1 hour £35

- 2 hour £60

- 3 hour £80

Our simulator system has 5 golf courses from around the world. Experience these courses from tee to green, with all the elements replicated for you. The price includes room rental for up to 4 players.

If you’re celebrating a birthday or special occasion and would like to incorporate a social round with food and drink, please let us know in advance and we can arrange it for you

We are open 7 days a week and take bookings for groups of up to 4 Players.

Yardage Gapping:

- 30mins £20

Utilise your practice time wisely discovering precisely how far you hit each club thus improving your distance control on the course. We can then assess your set to make sure you have the right clubs in the bag.

Comprehensive Performance Club Fitting

- Driver fitting £25

- Iron fitting £30

- Wedge Fitting £25

- TOTAL FITTING £70

Using our launch monitor software we can pin point any areas of weakness through distance measurement and shot dispersion.

As part of the fitting process we will fit you using the static and dynamic fitting process, altering any loft and lies necessary ultimately ending with the correct flex weight length loft and lie.

Note. All fitting costs will be absorbed when purchasing the clubs through the Pro Shop.

Ball Fitting

- 30mins £20

Ever wondered if you are playing with the right ball? Does a premium price ball actually give you the optimum results?

A simple ball fitting session with your PGA Professional will give you all the information you need. Is distance your priority or is spin around the greens. Perhaps a mixture of both. It’s time to find the best performing ball for your game!

Swing Studio Coaching Prices

- Non-Members:
1-hour lesson £70

- Members:
1-hour lesson £60

Using the latest in high speed filming and launch monitor data, we can now identify areas that need addressing and correlate improvements to shot dispersion and distance control.

Book the studio online from the 28th August by clicking here.

I am taking bookings in the shop from today if you wish to book in early.

The Art of Persistence

The FedExCup Playoffs get underway this Thursday at the Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey - although Rory McIlroy has already confirmed he won’t be taking part. The world no. 7 has taken a few weeks off in order to recharge the batteries after a disappointing showing at the PGA Championship earlier this month.

Justin Rose, who is currently fourth in the FedExCup standings, leads the British charge and will be aiming to pip Dustin Johnson to the number one spot. That being said, recent PGA Championship and U.S. Open winner Brooks Koepka is in fine form and could be the man to beat in this year's grand finale.

Closer to home, there was a feel-good story over the weekend as Paul Waring, on his 200th attempt, finally won on the European Tour. It wasn’t easy, but he managed to hold his nerve in a play-off against South African Thomas Aiken to win the Nordea Masters. It’s a great lesson for all of us in the art of persistence and determination when it comes to golf; if you keep on working on your game, it will eventually pay off.

Spotlight: Cleveland RTX 4 wedge

Cleveland's wedges are among the best on the market and have been for many years, so when they bring out a new model it certainly grabs our attention.

The RTX 4 is due to hit our shelves in September and is already in the bags of Graeme McDowell and Russell Knox to name a few. It features Cleveland's sharpest ever wedges, helping to generate more spin than ever before, especially out of the rough, which is sure to make it a popular choice for many golfers.
