Hi everyone - please note that Bruce is launching a new Health Check solution as a pathway to help golfers save vital shots in their short game.  The price of the Health Check is £50 for non members and £40 for members and will include full video analysis of your short game.

Please let us know if you are interested by clicking here

Remember Bruce is back coaching in the UK from May 1st

Work on the 4th Tee and the back of the 3rd Green will allow more sunlight.  Greater access to the glow of the sun's rays will offer several benefits:

1. Healthier Grass: Sunlight is vital for photosynthesis, the process by which grass converts sunlight into energy. More sunlight means healthier, stronger, and more vibrant grass.
2. Reduced Disease: Fungal diseases, such as mold and mildew, thrive in damp and shaded areas. Increased sunlight can help keep these diseases at bay by reducing moisture and improving air circulation.
3. Improved Playability: Firmer and healthier greens and tees offer a more consistent playing surface.
4. Enhanced Aesthetics: Sunlight creates a lusher, green appearance, making it more visually appealing
5. Better Recovery: Grass that receives ample sunlight can recover more quickly from wear and tear, leading to a more resilient playing surface.

Will keep you posted on other work...

Best

Jack

Bruce sends his regards from his winter coaching activities in Thailand.  Bruce is a specialist full time Class A PGA Professional and during the off peak coaching season in the UK, when most pros are turning their hands to selling warm clothing, he is actively coaching and specialising in what he does best.  We are blessed that he has based his Bruce Loome School of Golf at PRGC and very much looking forward to his return in the spring.  Remember, coaching at PRGC is with real balls, on real grass, on a purpose built Academy Practise Area, with state of the art 'backward chaining' coaching.

He is starting his PRGC coaching season this May 1st with a bang and taking bookings now.

• Individual lessons from May 1st
• Group lessons starting with a group Refresher Course to get you on the right track for the season, followed up by a Specialist Shot group course - see below.

Even if you can't make these dates, please contact us if any of the courses appeal to you.  We will be organising alternative dates.

Separately Bruce is re-introducing the successful backward chaining led Smart Shot coaching from June, a project being led by Luke from a marketing perspective as part of his apprenticeship and in conjunction with work being carried out by Jack to prepare the Academy Practice Area.
Bruce developed '9 smart shots to the perfect short game' and coaching around these shots will support both existing members and the new Academy Programme being driven by the Ladies Section - more to follow...

In the meantime, please book your lessons early to maximise the fun and enjoyment you get out of this season 🙂

Wonderful collaboration with the ladies delivers a lovely and welcome addition the changing area.

Covid has changed many things in public life and indeed golf... one of them has been the reduction in the use of changing rooms and shower facilities.  Ladies Captain Liz France presented an innovative idea to convert one of their showers to a foot spa.  The ladies worked collaboratively with Sarah and came up with a cracking idea that turns both showers into a foot spa!  Nice work!!!
