The companies together will remove the traditional barriers to learning golf by offering the convenience and efficiency of lessons on Golfzon simulators with a direct pathway to playing on a golf course.
“We are excited to be opening a Golfzon Leadbetter Academy at The Golf Rooms in London. Our extensive research proves that the golf swing can be taught more quickly indoors on Golfzon simulators than outdoors at a range,” said Benedict Riches, CEO of Golfzon Leadbetter. “Our mission is to help golfers learn to play faster so they can have more fun playing the sport, whether that’s on one of our simulators or outdoors on a golf course.”
The Golf Rooms is equipped with seven Golfzon simulators designed specifically for playing, practice and lessons. Golfers will be able to learn and perfect every shot type, from bunkers to sloping lies, using Golfzon’s patented movable tee. The team of instructors will be trained and certified by GLE (Golfzon Leadbetter Education), David Leadbetter’s premier instructor training program. The Golf Rooms’ memberships all include lessons, highlighting the company’s dedication to helping golfers improve.
“At The Golf Rooms, we aim to bridge the gap between indoor and outdoor golf while building true diversity through greater access to the sport we all love,” commented James Irons, Founder of The Golf Rooms. “Our partnership with Golfzon Leadbetter will establish The Golf Rooms as one of the foremost golf coaching academies in the UK. We couldn’t be prouder to partner with the industry leaders in golf coaching to deliver one of the most comprehensive coaching programs in the world.”
Golfzon Leadbetter and The Golf Rooms plan to expand their partnership to additional locations in the UK and internationally.
