Its one of the most anticipated weekends of the coaching calendar for THSG pupils, yes the Short game weekend is back and this year…..BIGGER and BETTER. We are so excited to bring you the very latest theory behind making all shots from 100 yards and in easier for you!! Don't forget the average golfer takes around 75% of his/her shots from 100yards and in......Don’t you think its time to get good at this part of the game!??
If your serious about improving, this weekend simply can not be missed!! Our THSG short game festival which runs from Friday 21st - Sunday 23rd October is your ticket to improvement.
The THSG team have designed an improvement program that caters for all golfers that need help from 100 yards and in. Our sole focus is to offer clinics both on and off the course that cover all aspects of approach play and the short game.
Our clinics will be held in a group format that will be limited to just 6 golfers. Sign up will be on a first come first serve basis. We want to create an interactive learning environment that will help us work closely with each pupil within the group. Our group clinics are always well subscribed so if you want to sign up to any of the below please don't hesitate. We will be charging our normal group clinic of £10 p/p, per clinic.
All weekend we will be doing demonstrations using the new Ping 2023 putter range and the state of the art wedge fitting kit provided by Ping, showcasing their Glide 4.0 and Glide Forged wedge range. If you would like to book a VIP fitting over that weekend, please get in touch.
