If
going back to school ever was to make sense, it does
today - when school is something as special as the DLF
Golf Academy and the entire curriculum revolves around
learning how to direct a little white ball into the
right place at the right time.
If
you have always wanted to learn everything there was to
learn about the great game of golf, enroll today at the
DLF Golf Academy, India's first professional golf school
located in the midst of the fabulous Arnold Palmer
Signature Championship Course in DLF City, just minutes
from the Indira Gandhi International Airport.
STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES
The
Golf Academy has a floodlit dual-level driving range
where you can choose to practice either from a state of
the art Astroturf mat or from natural turf. The facility
includes four target greens, a pitching area, a chipping
green with a practice bunker and a large sized putting
green. The entire concept is that of creating a practice
facility that gives the golfer an opportunity to
practice any kind of shot that he may encounter on the
course.
The Academy is well equipped to conduct Video Analysis
of the golf swing on the internationally acclaimed V1
Pro Software. This is done by recording the swing on
super slow motion cameras and then analyzing the swing
on the laptop loaded with the software. This practice is
consistent with the methods used in the top Academies
all over the world
The other facilities at the Academy include a video room
for the analysis and classroom lectures, a video and
book library, and ball collecting and dispensing
machines. Among all these facilities, there is also a
splendid coffee shop in a separate and exclusive Academy
clubhouse.
