Getting to the root of the problem (on-course tuition)

If you could save yourself just one stroke per round, week in week out, your handicap would be a full shot better? Sounds simple? That's because it is... Over a four week course we will take you through the trouble shots that really cause you problems on the course and develop the tools you need to tackle them more effectively.

Over the course of four weeks, students will pick a shot type that causes them particular issues on the golf course and we will spend one hour on the course learning to play that shot more effectively. For example, every week you are left with a soft pitch over a particular bunker, we will go out on the course and teach you how to play this shot more effectively, go through the set-up, technique, club selection, as well as other shot options.

This course will run on a Friday morning (10am) and Friday evening (6pm) and will cost £50 per person for the four weeks. Example:

  • Week One - Lag putting from outside 25ft
  • Week Two - Tricky bunker shots
  • Week Three - Chipping from greenside rough
  • Week Four - 30-50 yard pitch shot over obstacles

These classes will start the week beginning Monday, 9 May. Click here to get in touch for more details or to book your place on any of the sessions listed.

   


Thought of the week 

Range time is great - but you can work on your game on the course too 

"When a pro slices during his range warm-up, he aims down the left on the first tee; when an amateur slices during warm-up, he aims down the middle." 

Not our words, but those of tour professional Henrik Stenson. I think we'd agree they ring true. For some reason, the club golfer expects perfection on the course - a trait that also shows up when pitching over water to a tight pin, and in club selection… where he invariably believes he can repeat his best ever strike with his chosen weapon. 

Shot selection based on a true grasp of your ability can save shots; it's one area we address during a playing lesson. Time spent with us on the course is not only fun; it'll show you how to manage your game and the course to shoot lower scores. 

Playing the course is a lost art; we can make it your strength.
