Welcome to this weeks newsletter where we give you an update on our fantastic TrackMan system. We also give you a putting tip for home or the putting green, highlight our Christmas raffle and ball offer and we, of course, have our regular articles and features for you to enjoy. Enjoy the read. |
Virtual golf We have had this one up our sleeves for almost a year and it was one of the reasons that we decided to invest in our new TrackMan 4 earlier this year. So, what is TrackMan Virtual Golf I hear you ask? Virtual golf is a simulator system that can be used both in an indoor and outdoor environment. This is a new addition from TrackMan and is only available on their top of the range TrackMan 4 radar system.
|
When TrackMan decided to get into the world of golf simulators, rather than develop a system from scratch themselves, instead they went out and purchased one of the world’s top two golf simulator companies! The result is that we can now offer you the most accurate and graphically impressive golf simulator system in the world. Pretty impressive eh?!
|
What is great about our TrackMan System, is that you are not stuck to hitting balls into a nett a few feet in front of you. Instead, you hit your golf balls out onto the driving range as normal, watch the true ball flight and then turn around and watch the simulated flight on our giant 55 inch 4k TV. This gives you the best of both worlds, as there is no guesswork in what your golf ball is doing. |
Our opening special offers are below… Single Golfer - £15 per hour
2-4 Golfers - £20 per hour (total cost, not per player)
Driving Range Member (single Golfer) - £10 per hour
All prices include range balls. Click here to book your TrackMan Simulator time. Click here to watch a Flyover of a Virtual Golf Hole |

Improve your putting / Tee up your putting Today I’m going to give you a simple little drill that will help you hole more putts, without having to make any conscious change to your stroke. This exercise will improve your putting by controlling your putter stroke direction, face aim and the initial direction that the golf ball initially rolls.
|
 | | First part of the tip - next add 2 more tees |
To set up, all you will need is 4 golf tees, a putter and a ball or 3 (If you are practicing this drill in doors, then you can substitute the tees for coins). Place the first two tees into the green, just a little wider than your putter head apart. The second two tees should be placed a couple feet directly in front, but these should be closer together, just a little wider than a golf ball apart.
|
|
Now place a golf ball between the first two tee pegs and practice putting it between the second two pegs. You will find this pretty difficult at first, with your putter head striking one set of tees and the ball the other. With a little practice however, you will make less and less contact and eventually both club head and ball will move freely and your ball will find the bottom of the cup more often.

#468FCD ;text-align:left">Stats that'll make you thinkYou don’t get to a single-figure handicap without having a strong iron game, but the journey shouldn't end there. For us, there are two key factors that, when combined properly, will help take your iron play to the next level. |
1) Get custom-fitted If you're serious about shooting in the 70s each and every round, then getting custom-fitted for your next set of irons is key. TaylorMade’s P790 model feel fantastic off the face and provide precise distances and control, but that's no good if you're using the wrong shafts or you need 2-degrees flat but yours are standard.
2) Know your yardages The second stat above is remarkable and if you're one of the 21%, you need to come and see us for a gapping session. There we can give you the distances you hit each of your clubs as well as spot any issues you have between clubs.
