Son Gual welcomes Spain ’ s only logical golf learning centre
The world ' s third logical golf learning centre has opened at Son Gual , Mallorca ' s leading golf course .
Created by South African golf professional Robert Baker , logical golf is a simple teaching method that focusses on visualising the complex golf techniques and develops a greater understanding of the bio-mechanics involved in making a solid swing .
Baker has used the logical golf programme to work with - among others - four-time Major winner and former world number one Ernie Els ; actors Sylvester Stallone , Michael Douglas and Samuel L Jackson ; and sports stars Nigel Mansell , Charles Barkley and Wladimir Klitschko .
Currently there is only one other logical golf centre in Europe - in Munich - although a third is being created in Monte Carlo backed by financial support from the Monegasque royal family . The Son Gual centre is ideal for golfers wishing to improve , whether they are beginners wishing to learn the basics or tour professionals looking to enhance particular elements of their game .
Indeed , players of all standards have already booked intensive training weekends and weeks , while the centre has also been earmarked for winter training for national golf teams .
The centre also includes a golf gym for improving fitness and a club-fitting facility to ensure maximum benefit is gained from the enhanced performance .
Golf professional Tim Holroyd , who runs the logical golf centre at Son Gual , said : " The location of the centre , at a championship venue like Son Gual , is perfect . It means that not only can we host intensive sessions for amateurs , but professionals can also come here and feel comfortable ."
