GAPPING SESSIONS
Having confidence in your game stems from commitment to each shot.
Knowing your carry and total distance yardages with every club in your bag will allow you to create this commitment. However, too many golfers are guessing distances and often let their ego get in the way of the facts. Having a distance gapping session will eliminate all guess work and allow you to head to the course with perhaps the most under-rated piece of information in golf -knowing how far your clubs actually go!
What will I learn from the session?
During the session we will measure how far on average you hit each club in your bag. The personal report created will allow you to use the knowledge where it matters most – on the golf course.
If time allows, we will measure your “approach” shots with your shorter irons and wedges, allowing information to be gathered on shots that are not always hit with a full swing.
It is important to appreciate that various conditions can change the distance you hit the ball however, it is still vital that you have a ‘stock’ yardage to work around! Contributing factors that can affect distances include: wind direction summer/winter temperatures clean clubs / grooves using the same ball
Where will the session take place?
In our state-of-the-art indoor Performance Centre.
We will use the Foresight Sports Falcon to measure and track all shots played.
Who will assist me during the session?
The Gapping Session will be overseen by Dean or Simon your PGA Professionals who will be on hand to suggest fixes if any yardage gaps arise.
How can I book a session?
You can book a session by email or by calling in or phoning the pro shop.
Each session usually costs £40 but we will be doing an opening offer for only £25 Any further questions please contact us at deanandsimon@dandsprogolf.co.uk
