Get smart golfers

LOCAL golfers are being urged to get smart and use the new state-of-the-art teaching technology at Clubhouse Golf Direct on Eccles New Road.

The golf superstore has installed a Smart Golf Simulator. It is £40,000 worthy of equipment which is used by Open champion Padraig Harrington and enables Clubhouse Golf Direct’s two in-store PGA qualified professionals – Mike Halliwell and Paul Reeves – to fully custom fit all golf equipment to the highest possible standard.

Local golfers can use this ‘ultimate in golf simulation’ seven days a week. And the nearest other Smart Golf Simulator is as far away as Preston.

Reeves said: "The new Smart Golf Simulator is the very best facility for all golfers when choosing new golf equipment.

"Using Smart Golf provides a visual ball flight coupled with ball carry and final distance. And on-screen you can see the accuracy of each shot, including the ball trajectory. Combine all of this information and you will soon find the best performing equipment that suits your game, ensuring total peace of mind when making your selection.

"Using a Smart Golf Simulator is much better than visiting a traditional driving range. It gives 100 per cent accurate information such as overall distance, total carry, ball speed, clubhead speed, spin etc. There are no outside elements such as wind, rain and terrain to effect your or your club’s performance.We only use top of the range golf balls from manufacturers such as Titleist and Srixon when testing our equipment. And tour professionals such as Open champion Padraig Harrington use Smart Golf to hone their games and would only use 100 per cent accurate software to work on their games."

Reeves insists that the Smart Golf Simulator prevents golfers from wasting their money on equipment that is simply not right for them.

He said: "Today’s equipment is so advanced and with so many different brands offering varying specifications and models it can be very confusing. Making the wrong choice is not only very disappointing it can also be an expensive mistake. You can avoid making that mistake by calling into our store."
