Which Wedge?
When looking at recent major winners I noticed an interesting fact the majority have in common – 4 out of the last 6, Koepka, Reed, Thomas and Speith all use Titleist Vokey wedges. What’s even more interesting is that both Koepka and Reed are equipment free agents – and so play whichever clubs they want.
After the putter, the wedges are arguably the most important clubs in the bag. Whatever your standard of golf it’s vital you have the correct wedge make up in terms of consistent loft increments and bounce. By being custom fit for your wedges so you’ll improve both distance control when pitching and the quality of strike from greenside bunkers.
To book a fitting for Titleist Vokey Wedges please contact Alex Day at the Academy or email
reservations@dreamlandgolfclub.com If you choose to then order/purchase customized wedges the cost of the fitting becomes free of charge.

Foot Golf
To coincide with the football season getting underway this month we are offering a 2 for 1 promotion on all Monday evening rounds of Foot Golf.
The game is played similarly to golf, with the exception that a football is used instead of a golf ball. Also the ball is kicked rather than hit with a club, and aimed towards an oversized hole in place of the usual golf hole. Our specially built 9 hole course at the Academy includes bunkers, trees, hills and water which should all be evaded to reach the hole.
It’s great fun for all the family!! Get your shooting boots on and come and have a crack at breaking the Dreamland course record. We’re open every Monday from 17:00-20:00
