Hour Long Putting Clinic
Putting is one of the most neglected parts of the game when it comes to practice yet it accounts for nearly half of the shots in a round of golf. There are only a handful of certified putting instructors in the country and Ian is the only certified putting instructor in Cork. So why not improve your put on some of the best greens in Cork? You will have your stroke analysed on the HMP Stroke Analysis System and also with super slow motion video. After working on all aspects of your stroke the clinic then moves onto distance control and green reading while also giving you some ‘Putting Health Checks’ to be doing in your own practice. This is a must for anyone who has struggled on the greens.
On-Course Lessons
There’s nothing quite like working on your golf right on the course, where you will be implementing your skills in actual on-course play. These lessons will focus on working on the long game, specific shots, or course strategy depending on your needs. We offer anything from a half hour lesson to a nine hole playing lesson.
Beginner Lessons
Interested in learning to play golf but not sure where to start? Our Beginner Lessons are the perfect solution. It’s easier to play well when you learn properly right from the get go, rather than trying to correct incorrect technique down the road. These lessons run through everything you need to know to get out there and play golf! Groups or individuals can be catered for.
Short Game Academy
We have seven distance greens for working on your wedge play. USGA spec chipping green with bunkers for all your needs inside 100 yards.
Half Day Private Golf Clinic
The Half Day Private Golf Clinic starts with a 5 hole on course game assessment. The remainder of the clinic will focus on tuition on the following areas: putting, chipping, bunker play, irons and woods. Each area of the game is stress tested to isolate your ability in each part of the game to ascertain which areas need technical work and more practice time. This clinic is ideal for those who need a crash course to get their game going in the right direction again, corporate team building and preparation for upcoming tournaments.
30 Minute Private Lesson
Whether you want to hit it straighter, longer, higher, lower or just hit the ball, the 30 Minute Private Lesson is perfect for those who need a quick fix or want a few things to work on while they are practising. We use super slow motion video cameras and simple language for swing analysis and we will provide video voice over tips for your later practice.
