Pro V1 Draw

This week's winners of the Pro V1 draw were Bill Wilsonwho won a dozen balls and Tom Stampand and Gary Henderson who won a sleeve of three each.

We can't promise you that...

Since last year’s TOUR Championship, Justin Thomas has conjured up five wins – including his maiden Major victory at the USPGA – and seven other top 10 finishes; results that have seen him rise up to fourth in the World Golf Rankings while cementing himself as one of golf’s brightest stars. 

These performances, culminating in a runner-up finish in last week's season-ending TOUR Championship, saw Thomas take the top spot in the FedEx Cup (the PGA Tour’s OOM) and the juicy $10 million bonus that goes along with that.

Whilst we can't promise you prize money like that, our coaching can certainly help you to be more consistent and maybe even see your name at the top of a leaderboard over the coming months. If this sounds appealing to you, send us a message via the link below.

Lesson of the week...

This week on the lesson tee we have been working on posture to improve the first part of the backswing, which allows the pupil to deliver a much more consistent full swing.
