DSG Academy_April_15-1

  • Overview

    Barney Puttick, one of the leading teaching Pro’s in the UK, hosts the Golf Academy programme, bringing you the latest thoughts on modern golf and using some of the latest technology.  Barney is a coach of vast experience and very respected amongst his peers.  Anyone wishing to learn or improve their golf can only benefit from a few days in his company. Barney has coached at all levels from beginners, club level and many years with County teams through to Tour Pro’s.  His experience doesn’t stop there; he has worked with the Times Corporate finals in La Manga and is the Trilby Tour Professional, a popular event on Sky TV where you will see him on screen from time to time.  His hosting skills sit happily alongside his considerable coaching talents.

    Golf at the top level has moved on enormously in my 17 years at Staverton Park, Daventry, Northamptonshire and the technology, variety of equipment, video analysis etc now available is mind blowing. Drivers are easier to use, hybrids make long iron play and semi rough easier too. The selection of wedges and quality putters is almost infinite and can be confusing, albeit there is something there for everyone. Video is incredibly revealing and ‘seeing is believing’. But how much has that truly improved the general standard of the club golfer? To improve and play your best, having the right equipment in your bag is important, being able to use it properly, more so.
    The Academy programme concentrates mainly on technical aspects of all areas of the game from putting to driving. We will also ensure you have the right impartial advice on the best equipment for you, but more importantly, how best to use it!
