Does your golf game need improvement?

Green Acres Golf Club offers a range of coaching alternatives designed to suit your requirements and budget. For a tailored program designed specifically for your individual requirements, we recommend a one-on-one lesson with one of the Club's PGA Professionals.

Teaching Professional Brian McMahon uses the latest computerised teaching aids that will analyse your game and allow you to visually compare your swing to that of professionals.

We certainly don't expect you to be swinging the club like Tiger after the first lesson, however golfers often find it very useful to see their swing for themselves. Before long, we're confident that you'll be well on the way to playing more consistent golf and starting to shave strokes from your handicap.

Club maintenance - Grips

Keeping your equipment in good working condition will no doubt help you to play better golf. The old saying of 'a tradesman never blames his tools' is still appropriate, unless however the tools are becoming difficult to hold on too! So we feel it is useful to discuss some of the things you can do to help keep your clubs in good working order, particularly the grips.

To keep your grips in their best working condition it is advisable to keep them free of dirt and sweat. The best way to keep them clean is to rinse them off first and then apply powdered AJAX or soap and scrub with a scrubbing brush. This is when you can see how dirty the grips really get as they often hide the majority of built up dirt. After scrubbing, rinse off all the soap and towel dry. The grips will come up looking brand new and feeling tacky again.

For those with grips that are cracked, splitting or shiny then they may be beyond recovery so please come and see us so we can replace them for you. Grips start at a low $8 per club fully fitted.
