BROCKET’S SCHOOL SET TO SHARPEN SKILLS

Golfers wishing to sharpen their skills will be delighted to hear that the much- awaited indoor school at Brocket Hall’s Golf Academy has just opened.

The indoor school is an integral part of the impressive facilities at the club which boasts 42 holes of golf and is poised to become the hub of this centre of excellence which is managed by respected teaching professional and golf columnist Keith Wood and his team.

Open to members and non-members alike, the school features the latest state of the art technology in the V1 Swing Analyser – the first of its kind in the country.  The V1 provides innovative hi-tech instruction and training, allowing constant slow motion reference so that body sway, posture, persistent faults and habits can be analysed and dissected, whilst shot distance, ball and club-head speed can also be measured.  The V1 can even be used to overlap the set up and swing of a particular pro highlighting the similarities and differences between the players.                                                         

Brocket Hall’s Head Professional Keith Wood is delighted with the new developments at the club:  “The indoor school not only provides us with the most sophisticated method of instruction as golfers look to computer technology to improve their game.

“From the school we are running a variety of residential and non-residential instruction programmes - tailored to meet all abilities - from individual instruction and single lessons to very intensive and focussed programmes which  make use of the accommodation in Brocket Hall and Melbourne Lodge.  We hope that it will become one of the best teaching venues in the UK.”

The Brocket Hall Golf Academy also features a testing Donald Steel designed par 3 course,  which is situated in mature woodland, together with a short game area.  This includes two pitching greens surrounded by a variety of bunkers and hollows together with an expansive three-tier putting green with flat, undulating and contoured conditions.
