A Happy New Year to everyone, let’s hope you have a great golfing year in great weather and those handicaps start to tumble.

Is your New Year Resolution to Improve your Golf and therefore more Fun?

Over the coming weeks I will be Coaching, Gap Testing and Club fitting in the Simulator room here at Tehidy. These winter months provide the perfect opportunity to get your game together before the competition season starts in Spring. 

Why not consider investing in a course of lessons over 2017! I'm passionate about coaching and I can help you improve your game. If your feeling unmotivated about playing or need help with improving your Driving, Iron-play, Putting or Course Management I'm here to help!

Question: Do you own a GPS or Distance Measuring Device?
Answer: Probably Yes or if No you need to invest in one!
Question: Do you know how far to within 5yards how for you hit a 7 iron?
Answer: Sort of..... not really ??

Solution - Knowing how far you hit each club is a great benefit on the golf course and helping you optimise the use of your GPS personal measuring device. Our Gap testing session measures the average distance you hit each club as well as highlighting any irregularities between your clubs in a controlled indoor environment. 

The SkyTrak Gap Testing Data will be emailed after the session. Book your appointment at the Pro Shop Tel: 01209 842914

Any Idea Who Said This? 

“It’s a regret I will never be Ryder Cup captain. It’s a shame that after 28 years travelling around the world and doing the things I have done on tour, including organising the Open de Andalusia for 16 years, not leaving the European Tour when I had my PGA Tour card and a load of things that I did over a long period of time, that that will not be rewarded.”
