TrackMan custom Fitting and Game improvement sessions
It's that time of year to make sure that your swing and your equipment is the best that it can be for the season ahead.
Together with TrackMan, I can offer you a service that offers a in-depth assessment of your swing and your equipment and how it impacts on your game. As a result of my recommendations I guarantee a host of genuine performance benefits:
Increased accuracy
Increased distance
Increased consistency
Increased enjoyment
TrackMan has set the industry standard for accuracy as it delivers real-time data and graphics on club movement, ball launch, the flight and landing. TrackMan has set a new standard for golf ball and golf club measurement.
The TrackMan radar unit tracks the trajectory of your golf ball from launch to landing. The ability to measure the full ball flight is essential to produce the highest quality data. This is impossible to do when hitting into nets or using range balls.
Using TrackMan I have a precise picture of what the club is doing during the swing and at impact. With this information, I can recommend the best way for you to play better golf - whether that's by making some changes to your basic set up or with some easy changes to your swing. The new equipment out now is so good that if your present equipment is more than 3 years old then, the performance enhancements to your game are almost guaranteed. TrackMan clearly shows the extent of these improvements for you to then decide if that improvement warrants your investment.
The technology used is called doppler radar and has been widely used in military applications to track missiles and projectiles since the 1960s.
TrackMan is used by the USGA and the R&A for golf equipment testing, while top professionals from the USPGA Tour and the European Tour use TrackMan for practicing and optimising their equipment.
How does it work?
A TrackMan session lasts for 1 hour. Sessions can be taken on any aspect of your game from short pitch shots to your driver. Trackman takes measurements and readings of your swing so that I can accurately assess what's happening during your swing, see how your current equipment is performing and make the best recommendations on how best to improve your golf. It's very clear for you to see what is happening and see what improvements you can make. It is carried out on our outdoor grass tee practice area, this allows us to see the improvement in the flight of the ball (something you cannot get from hitting balls on a simulator), with being able to hit from the turf giving you a true feeling for the clubs performance.
I am totally impartial and I have no 'biased tie ins' with particular club manufacturers that some of 'my competitors' may have. My advice is sincere and I will make only recommendations that will improve your game.
If you are having a TrackMan fitting session you will get to see the like for like performance against your existing clubs so YOU can make an informed decision on any purchase.
After your session, should you wish to purchase the clubs from us, the £40 charge will come off the price we have advertised on the shop floor. In other words custom fit is not only essential for all standards of player, it is FREE if you make your purchase on the same day!
Come along and try the very latest equipment
My Policy on club Trial
I have a huge range of Demo, Trial and fitting clubs which you are very welcome to try any time on the clubs practice area FREE OF CHARGE. I have some trial sets of irons ,Titleist, Cobra, PING, TaylorMade that can be tried on the golf course with forward booking. Drivers may be taken onto the course for Demo only after a full Custom fitting session. (This is because only with correct fitting can the full performance benefits of modern drivers be enjoyed). Demo drivers may be taken to the practice area for trial before fitting though FREE OF CHARGE.
Fitting Charges
1 Hour Trackman fitting session is £40 But if clubs are purchased on the day of fitting then a £40 credit will be added so the fitting is essentially FREE OF CHARGE.
If clubs are purchased within 7 days of the fitting then a Credit of £30 will be added to your purchase. So essentially the fitting is only £10.
Sorry no credit can be given towards after the 7 day period as most Trackman sessions are taken for game improvement rather than fitting.
Beat the Winter Blues and kick start your game this year!
It might be cold outside, there might even be some snow left, but there's no better way to banish the winter blues and kick start your game this year than a few holes or a coaching session with us, so wrap up warm and give it a go!
Please see below 10 very good reasons why you and maybe even your friends and relatives that don't currently play should start playing more golf now:
1) Playing golf gets you outdoors allowing you to get loads of fresh air and natural light.
2) Spending time in nature can boost optimism and self-control.
3) Exercise boosts mood-enhancing chemicals in your brain.
4) Golf is a great way to take regular, moderate exercise or physical activity.
5) Walking and playing gets you moving while boosting your brain's natural feel good chemicals
6) Spending time in the pleasant, green surroundings of a golf course can lift your mood and combat stress
7) Burn up to 20 per cent more calories because your body needs extra energy to stay warm in the cold.
8) Golf nurtures friendship and social ties which can help you feel better. With plenty of time for conversation and fun - golf is the perfect way to make new friends and grow closer bonds with people you already know.
9) Aims and aspirations. Golf is a great way to set yourself small, healthy and positive targets that will keep you going through the winter and ready for the Summer ahead.
10) Deciding you will play twice a month or commit to meeting up with a friend or having a lesson once a fortnight will give you something to aim for and make you feel happier and positive towards the year ahead.
This year we will be running various Get Into Golf sessions aimed at encouraging as many people as possible to enjoy this great sport we play. Although the majority will be targeted at new golfers, certain sessions will be aimed at making sure the current golfers who play continue to play and enjoy themselves, after all no one wants to play bad golf, do they?
So if you want to play better more enjoyable golf this year and would like to give others the opportunity to enjoy the same things you do, please watch out for the Get Into Golf events we will be running this year.
