Lessons, Practice and Education
Have you had a poor season?
Want to improve?
Winter is an ideal time to get about improving ahead of the 2020 season.
Get together with one of the pros’ and do some good work on the swing and start enjoying your game more than ever.
Here you can see a dramatic change in just one lesson. Robert had little consistency on strike and direction so wanted to smarten up the swing and create a more repeatable action. This is the result of 2 very simple bits of instruction.
Just one lesson and what a swing this boy has got now, well done Robert! |
And keep in the swing this winter with some driving range work. Hitting balls into the night sky under floodlight is great fun. The range is open until 9 pm mid-week. |

Earlier this week I had a great session with Andy looking at shaft options for his Callaway Rogue driver.
Higher clubhead speed, Increased ball speed, reduced spin, straighter and 20 yards longer and all this as a result of a shaft change. Custom fitting never ceases to amaze me. It looks like word is out, thinking of custom-fit, Preston is the place to go. Professional advice and help for FREE.

#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.
