Essendon Country Club, Hertfordshire, has unveiled a brand new short game practice area to rival the best in the country, adding to the clubs already extensive facilities.
After 420 hours of construction which included laying 700 square metres of new turf and over two miles of pipework and cabling, the practice area was ready to be launched during the club’s Festival of Golf month this May.
Club Captain Terry Higgins was invited to cut the ceremonial ribbon at the grand opening, surrounded by a crowd of excited members who were eager to make use of the new addition to the club.
“We have an incredibly strong Academy following here at Essendon, so this is the perfect time to expand the facilities on offer and enhance our teaching programme,” commented Director of Golf at Essendon Country Club, Paul Densham.
“The short game area is absolutely state-of-the-art and will match anything in the country. It has already proved a hit with our members and visitors and we see it as a real asset to the club going forward,” he continued.
Players can now use the designated area to work on all aspects of their short game, from bunker shots to chip and runs and lobs shots over a water hazard. New practice nets have also been installed for those wanting to warm-up before a round.
