Richmond (Yorks) Golf Club

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to my first weekly newsletter. I hope you enjoy the read as I certainly have a lot to talk about. Thank you for remaining patient in this time while I have been busy setting up business, recruiting staff, a shop transformation and bringing in new stock.

It has been everything and more than I imagined joining Richmond in my first couple months, the golf course is superb, the staff are great to work with and the members have been very welcoming.

I spent 6 years in my last position at Fulford Golf Club and it was emotional to leave, but at the same time I knew how good of a place Richmond was. I have previously worked along side former professional James Hare at York Golf Club and he was full of praise for the club. I hope I can bring you everything you need from a PGA professional. I take great pride in helping people and together I hope we can make Richmond stand out from the rest.

With the addition of a indoor golf studio and plans to redevelop the academy course I want to make Richmond Golf Club the place to play and learn your golf.

We would love you to explore my website and investigate the tips and drills, product catalogue and interact with any features we have on the website.

Take a look https://www.dhgolfandperformance.co.uk/.

I am constantly learning new methods and I believe there is not one way to swing a golf club, there are a number of ways and it is based on what you can physically do. I have the capabilities to study the body in relation to the golf swing with a TPI Level 1 golf fitness qualifcation which is changing the way we look at the swing.

From coaching I hope to offer a great retail outlet giving you the ultimate in convenience, at great prices, friendly unbiased PGA advice, a full comprehensive after sales service and a warm welcome every time you visit the club.

Junior news

Junior Success

With the summer holidays in full swing, here at Richmond Golf Club we have had a great success. I am running a Junior Summer camp every Tuesday & Saturday throughout August from 10am – 11am which is open to all juniors of any age and just a small fee of £5 per session, you are guaranteed to have a welcomed, fun and enjoyable session with Dan who has many years experience of teaching children.

With a 6 hole academy and short game area in a redevelopment stage, there has never been a better time to take up the game at Richmond Golf Club and with recent successes of England golfer Georgia Hall winning the Women's British Open and the likes of Tiger Woods competing again in majors, the game has a great aura about it again.

Here, there and everywhere

We are faced with a whole range of scenarios out on the course, some of which we practice regularly and others that we don’t. When you consider the different types of shots you hit around the greens, it really does highlight how versatile your wedges need to be.

Versatility is key
We ask a lot from our wedges, from opening up the face to hit high lob/flop shots to moving the ball back in our stance to play low flying pitches and everything in between. It’s therefore obvious that you should be playing something you’re comfortable with from any spot around the greens.

If you’re yet to find that wedge, come and try the Callaway Mack Daddy 4 here in the shop. It comes in lots of lofts so we can discuss your wedge make up, plus we can test the different sole grinds to see which ones best suit the shots you like to play.

And the award goes to...

Always trying to raise the bar on previous models isn’t an easy job, but it’s for this reason that technology has advanced considerably in the past few years. It means we’ve never been in a better position to help you enjoy your golf, from drivers right through to shoes.

Come and see what all the fuss is about
This award-winning Skechers GO GOLF Pro V3 shoe has been recognised for its affordability, style and lightweight comfort.

If you try these on you’ll immediately notice the cushioned Resamax insoles, as well as Skechers’ 5-Gen lightweight and responsive cushioning. There are also leather uppers and an air-mesh lining for breathability that you’ll enjoy.

We think it’s obvious why this shoe was selected as one of the best of the year, but to see if you agree, drop by the store.
