FANTASTIC VALUE GOLF IN JUNE

Posted on: June 24th, 2012 by nathan No Comments

Leeds Golf Centre has always been an excellent choice for the hundreds of thousands of ‘pay and play’ golfers in The North – however, with a host of new green fee rates coming in for the Jubilee month of June, that choice just got bigger and better!

At the end of our current promotion – where weekday green fees are on offer from £15 per person (assuming a minimum of two players) and weekend slots are available at £80 for a fourball – a new temporary tariff will come into effect which reflects the fact that the course redevelopment works are all but completed.

Green fee rates for the month of June are as follows:

  • Weekdays £17.50 per person assuming minimum of two players
  • Weekend peak time (before 2pm) £25 per person or £80 fourball
  • Weekend off peak (after 2pm) £19.50 per person assuming minimum of two players

Furthermore, effective immediately, the launch of a new ‘after work’ special green fee rate will no doubt entice and excite the more industrious folks out there – play after 5.30pm on a weekday for just £12.50 per person or on a weekend for £15 per person! What’s more – if you’re desperate for 18 holes – why not add a buggy to your booking for just £10!?

As our excellent 12-hole par-3 course (The Oaks) is totally unaffected by construction work, green fees here remain at the full summer rate of £10 weekdays and £13 at weekends.

So don’t delay – book now and enjoy summer golf at Leeds Golf Centre – before you miss it! Call the Pro Shop on 0113 288 6000 to enquire further or to book.

INTRODUCING DAN SEAMAN

Posted on: June 19th, 2012 by nathan No Comments

Join with us in welcoming a new trainee professional to the coaching ranks at Leeds Golf Centre – the son of former England goalie, David Seaman!

Developing our Academy‘s link with celebrity sportspeople yet further (remember that we already have Mark Moore coaching European Tour players, Marylyn Brand being the daughter of a former Ryder Cup player and Bill Ferguson having coached the likes of Colin Montgomerie), we are delighted to welcome Dan Seaman to our team. Having turned pro in 2010 off a handicap of +2, Dan is an excellent golfer. He will initially be specialising in custom fitting at our Pro Shop but will then progress onto providing tuition after sitting his final year PGA exams in 2013.

NEWS IN BRIEF

SWEET MAINTAINS WINNING FORM

Leeds Golf Centre’s Operations Manager, Nigel Sweet, has maintained his excellent form so far this year by claiming the Welsh Mid-Amateur Championship at Royal St David’s just weeks after winning the French Mid-Amateur Team Championships a fortnight earlier.

Renowned as one of the UK’s toughest Par-69s, this tremendous links course in Snowdonia played host to some of the worst weather competitors had ever played in, yet Nigel sneaked home with a one-shot margin despite shooting a 10-over 79 in the worst of the conditions on Friday.

In another coup for Leeds Golf Centre, the second-place finisher (Wayne Crick from Oakdale Golf Club) had a lesson with Academy Manager, Andy Herridge, before taking part in the event.

The Leeds Golf Centre team would like to congratulate Nigel for his remarkable international-beating season so far!

JUNIOR TEAM TRIUMPHANT

Yet more success for Wike Ridge Golf Club last week as its impressive junior team stormed to victory by 6 shots in the Leeds & District Union Junior Team Championships at Wetherby.

The team – comprising of Alex Harvey, Cameron Ogg and Charlie Kay – now has its sight set on achieving promotion to Division 1 of the LDU Junior League this season. And with form of the kind shown last week, few would bet against it.

One of Wike Ridge Golf Club’s junior section promoters, Gary Hirst, commented: “It’s a terrific achievement for the lads, especially because all scores counted – there was no room for a weak link. They’re the first team to achieve this feat from Wike Ridge Golf Club and they should all be very proud. I would like to thank everyone at Leeds Golf Centre who continues to teach, support and encourage our juniors – with this kind of backing, I am sure there will be many more successes in future.”
