Focus on putting at Winchester Golf Academy this March…

Read on for more details.

Become a better putter is for you if you’re a golfer who regularly misses short putts or has too many 3-putts. Cover the basics, understand your stroke and how to improve it.

Eliminate the yips is for you if you are one of the 37% of golfers who experience an involuntary movement (yip) at some stage in their golfing career. This class will teach you how to manage the yips, so you enjoy your golf from 40 yards and in!

Custom Fitting 101…

Most of you will have seen the new look of our golf shop and our new focus on the custom fit experience.

For those of you who are still unsure of what’s involved or just want to find out more, our PGA Pro Ben Wall is running a Custom Fitting 101 pop-up clinic on Saturday 21st March at 2pm.

Ben will talk you through all the ins and outs of custom fitting, why we custom fit, how we custom fit and how the process works for an actual fitting.

What’s included?

An introduction into fitting, why it’s so important, what’s involved and what the fitters are trying to achieve.
Every person who attends will receive a FREE 10-minute fitting at the end of the presentation and email confirmation of their fitting spec.
25% off your first custom fit if you book a paid custom fit after the session.

Book now with Ben on 01962 885254.

Places filling fast on our next Couch to Course…

Our popular six-week Couch to Course starts on Monday 20th April at 6.30pm - and it really does take the total beginner from hitting on the range to taking that first drive on the golf course.

For £60, you’ll receive six hours of coaching plus time on a local course, practice balls, use of our clubs if you don’t have your own, a Toptracer demo and a Privilege Card worth £10 for when you want to practice on the range outside of lessons.

Spaces are limited to eight - call us to book your place on 01962 885254 or jamesm@winchestergolf.co.uk.

New promotion available to you

We launched this last week and the initial take up has been phenomenal!

It's not just about making sure you replace the grips on your clubs every year. Instead, we want you to have the correct sized grip and the right type of grip (tacky, chorded and so on) too.

The offer is: get a FREE Align grip on your 7-iron.

This will only be running for a few more weeks so come and see us in the pro shop if interested.

Unbearable tension

Last week we revealed a remarkable statistic regarding the number of golfers playing grips that are over a year old, but what impact does that actually have on your game? Well, we decided to do some digging...

Tension whilst gripping

Grips are made from rubber and are prone to wear and tear, just like the tyres on your car. When they become worn, your grips will lose tackiness and your hands will start to slip during the swing, resulting in poorer shots.

The thing is, you’ll likely overcompensate by holding on to your clubs too tight, creating more tension and stiffness during the swing.

Limited time offer in-store now

We know it sounds all doom and gloom, but it does make a huge difference to your game. That's why we're running this promotion at Winchester Golf Academy, so you can experience the benefits of a new grip first hand.

There’s no catch, just pop by the shop before your next round to take advantage.
