Lessons with the Head and Senior PGA Professionals Stephen Deane, Head Professional
Having been mentored by the world’s best instructor, Peter Cowen, Stephen brings with him modern information which he passes onto his students in a simple and effective manner. Stephen is also a great believer that Trackman is one of the best teaching tools on the market today. Using Trackman during a lesson eliminates guess work by showing exactly what’s happening at impact on every shot. Video is great but only offers two dimensional feedback while Trackman provides three dimensional impact and ball flight data. Students learn very quickly how club path and face angle effect ball flight. They then learn feel through numbers as Trackman delivers real-time feedback on every swing while showing the resultant ball flight, making the lesson even more effective. Programme Name
