24 the World Of golfing EVENTS - Dave Pelz Golf Schools Dave Pelz Golf Schools Pitch Up At Foxhills Events Golfers eager to sharpen their short- game skills can combine state-of-the-art facilities and a world-renowned coaching progamme thanks to a new link-up between Foxhills and Dave Pelz Golf Schools. The historic Surrey resort’s state-of- the-art new short-game practice area, which opens this spring, will host an initial series of three Dave Pelz 3-Day Scoring Game Schools (April 12-14; May 3-5 and May 31-June 2), which can see huge improvements to golfers of all abilities. More dates are also expected to be added later in the year. With the first session taking place on Masters weekend, it’s fitting that defending champion Patrick Reed is among the many students of the Pelz methods, which played such a pivotal role in his success at Augusta last year. The programme, which costs £1300 for the three days, incorporates tailored tuition for small groups of participants as they benefit from Pelz Golf Institute’s scientific approach and attention on distance wedges, pitching, chipping bunkers and putting. Every Pelz school includes an analysis of each student’s game, classroom theory sessions and outdoor execution sessions with one instructor for four students. The finishing touches are being added to the new short-game facility at Foxhills, which features two practice bunkers, synthetic hitting areas and a 650 square metre green at a cost stretching well into six figures.
