Golfzon Leadbetter to Open New Golf Academy in London, UK

LONDON, UK — Golfzon Leadbetter, a leading brand in golf instruction, and The Golf Rooms, a state-of-the-art indoor golf club powered by GOLFZON simulators, announced plans to open a new golf academy in London. The new academy will combine The Golf Rooms’ indoor facilities, located near Chiswick, Kew and Brentford, with the outdoor course at the nearby Wyke Green Golf Club.

Drawing on their expertise in developing junior players and coaching new golfers, Golfzon Leadbetter Academy (GLA) and The Golf Rooms plan to focus on delivering top-quality instruction to golfers of all levels.

Through the convenient and efficient lesson environment offered by GOLFZON simulators, together with integrated programs that lead into play on an actual course, the two companies aim to lower the traditional barriers to learning the game.

Benedict Riches, CEO of Golfzon Leadbetter, said, “We are delighted to open a Golfzon Leadbetter Academy at The Golf Rooms in London,” adding, “Extensive research has confirmed that golfers can learn the golf swing faster indoors using GOLFZON simulators than at an outdoor driving range.” He continued, “Our goal is to help golfers learn the game more quickly and enjoy playing golf more, whether on the simulator or on a real course.”

The Golf Rooms is equipped with seven GOLFZON simulators optimized for play, practice and lessons. Using GOLFZON’s patented moving tee technology, golfers can learn and practice a wide range of shots, from bunker shots to sloped lies. The coaching staff who deliver the lessons are trained and certified through GLE (Golfzon Leadbetter Education), David Leadbetter’s premium coach education program. In addition, every membership at The Golf Rooms includes lessons, reflecting the company’s commitment to supporting golfers as they improve their game.

James Irons, founder of The Golf Rooms, said, “The Golf Rooms aims to bridge the gap between indoor and outdoor golf and to create genuine diversity by making golf accessible to more people,” adding, “Our partnership with Golfzon Leadbetter will establish The Golf Rooms as one of the UK’s leading golf coaching academies.” He added, “We are extremely proud to partner with an industry leader in golf coaching to present a world-class comprehensive coaching program.”
