Improve your game this summer at a Today’s Golfer Academy
Published: Last updated:
Helping you play better golf is at the heart of what we do – so we’ve teamed up with one of the UK’s top instructors to launch the new Today’s Golfer Academy series.
Hosted at Marriott’s golf venues across the UK by PGA Master Professional Scott Cranfield’s team of Elite coaches, these day-long teaching sessions – taking place from May to September – will focus on improving your long or short game.
Mornings will be spent on the range fixing your faults, before you can go out on the course for nine holes after lunch to put what you’ve learned into practice. There will be a maximum of 15 people on the day, and with 2 coaches you are guaranteed plenty of one-on-one instruction. Cranfield says: “If you want to improve your game, this is an ideal opportunity. We’ll be going to some great Marriott venues, from Southampton to Edinburgh.
“You will learn some real secrets that are guaranteed to work because they are based on timeless principles rather than fad ideas. Regardless of your standard you will take away some real gems that will keep working as long as you keep applying them! “ A unique part of the day is getting to play nine holes under the watchful eye of the coaches. This exercise will help you bridge the gap between practice range and course.
“All our coaching is based on the laws of how you think and move. Learning about how to focus effectively is largely misunderstood, yet when you understand the principles, it can have a massive impact on your golf performance, instantly and for a lifetime!
“This one bit of information can often cure you of anxiety, as well as improve your skills and results.”
Read what our customers have to say –
“The Short Game School developed by Cranfield Golf Academy/Today’s Golfer and delivered by PGA Professional Michael Peregrin is highly recommended. The coaching philosophy is simple and intuitive, and provides a solid understanding for selecting and executing a wide range of shots on and around the green. The immersive 1 day session offers plenty of individual tuition and practical coaching advice that can be immediately taken onto the course, along with drills to help develop and reinforce a positive mindset and effective technique. Michael is an excellent instructor, and conveys the key points clearly and simply, allowing the mind to be clear and focused purely on the task at hand. Attending the Short Game School has hugely benefitted my short game – I now don’t mind if I miss a green in regulation, as I have much greater confidence in my ability to select and execute the key shots that will enable me to get up and down.”

You will learn vital principles that are key to you obtaining a reliable short game. You will get the chance to practice and receive coaching on all key areas. You will learn the key fundamentals of great putting, from technique to green reading, plus the key principles for chipping, pitching and sand play, and how to make effective shot choices. You will also learn how to deal with trouble shots and awkward lies.
Long Game Course
You will learn and apply essential but often overlooked principles that allow you to swing the club in a more natural and effective way, giving you more control over your shots and more consistency. You will learn subjects that are key to you obtaining a consistent game, such as balance, posture, effective movement for power etc. While these are general subjects, our unique coaching approach will show you how these become completely personal to you, so that you can continue to benefit long after the day has finished.
