Flightscope is back!
Do you want to knock shots off your score and win the money off your best mate week in week out? Do you know how far you hit your wedges?
Well from Monday 2nd until Saturday 14th June Flightscope returns to Rochester & Cobham… this time with a twist! Warren is putting together unique 1 hour sessions on the short game area with the sole purpose to hone in your wedge yardages and give you the upper hand against your competitors.
For any round of golf, 70% of shots are played from inside the "scoring zone" (less than 100 yards from the flag). This is the area where any improvement can have the biggest impact. By simply knowing how far you hit each of your wedges you will significantly improve the proximity to the hole of your approach shots and leave yourself much shorter birdie putts!
If you are interested in one of Warren's unique wedge sessions, a custom fit session for a that new set of irons you've been thinking about or maybe an hours lesson using the superb Flightscope please call 01474 823 658 and we can book you in to one of the available appointments below:
Wednesday 4th June: 08:00-09:00
Thursday 5th June: 08:00-09:00
Monday 9th June: 08:00-09:00
Wednesday 11th June: 17:30-18:30
Friday 13th June: 08:30-09:30

Captain Pro Challenge 18th May
"The Captain and I faced our toughest challenge so far, against Bob Dench and Nick Gray. The fast starting pair swung the momentum their way from the first hole, accelerating to an early 3 up lead and if Nick hadn't three putted the 7th hole it would have been 4!
Even though we were still 3 down after 9 holes, the Captain and I felt the blip on 7 may have given us the chance we desperately needed to get back in to the game.
The comeback began… Afterburners set on full thrust! A barrage of birdies and nett birdies at the 10th, 11th and 12th sent the momentum back in our favour! Wins then followed at the 13th, 15th and 16th and so we swiftly secured our second victory 3 and 2.
Thanks again to our unlucky challengers, both the Captain and I thoroughly enjoyed the day. We now look forward to our next match against Roger Robinson and Phil Evans on Wednesday 11th June.
Who will be the first pair to qualify for the Captain/ Pro Challenge Final? And how long can our unbeaten run continue?"
