GRADED PLAY
SKILLS, DRILLS & MATCHPLAY
Playing matches without drilling will not improve your game! The best players drill, drill, drill (...and drill!) Our club coach, Scott, runs these super sessions, focusing on a new skill each week. Following an hour of skills & drills, you'll get to put what you've learned into practice, with a dedicated hour of matchplay.
Structured and inclusive competitive play based on our club grading system (in tandem with DUPR). The goal is to match players of similar skill levels to ensure balanced, spirited and enjoyable competition and developmentally appropriate games for all members.
