The Golf Academy's very own Marjorie Jones was recently interviewed and featured on the Gotham Golf Blog. Marge instructed founder/writer Ralph Perez on the use of FlightScope and sat down for an interview on her own background and her take on the game of golf.
Check out Marge, FlightScope and Gotham Golf Blog here.
Excerpted from Gotham Golf Blog: "If there are any female readers out there who are interested in pursuing
a Professional Golf career, whether it be teaching or playing, I
suggest you give Marjorie a call. I could not think of a better mentor.
At the same time if you are a female or beginning golfer who might be
intimidated by the game, I would also recommend Marjorie. As you will
see, her goals are to make the learning experience as enjoyable as
possible."
To book a lesson with Marge and/or try a FlightScope session, call the Golf Academy at 212.336.6444.

In the September edition of Golf
Magazine, regulars at the Golf Club may see a few
familiar faces. Inside, Golf Club Teaching
Professional James Field, as well as master member John Golec and Jack
Curtis, are part of a 2-page spread detailing their experiences taking Cleveland
Golf's DST Challenge with James at the Golf Club. Cleveland challenged players that their Launcher DST series of drivers will outdrive any
driver you are carrying in your bag right now. With the help of James and the Flight Scope - a computer based measurement of your shots - John and Jack
compared their drivers to Cleveland's. In both tests, Cleveland's drivers
outdrove the old drivers by at least 16 yards. WOW!
If you want to put Cleveland's Launchers to the test,
stop by the Golf Academy and have your own fitting session on
the Flight Scope with James Field. If you're interested in
a full lesson with James, you can choose from a variety of packages or classes. The Golf Academy carries a full
selection of Cleveland and Srixon clubs, the use of which are complimentary
during any lesson or school. To book a lesson, club fitting or class, contact the Academy at 212-336-6444 or gcacad@chelseapiers.com
between 8am and 9pm during the week or 8am and 5pm on weekends.
