Welcome

At the Tim Absalom Golf Academy, players are lead through a complete testing and golf development program.

By assessing the "complete picture" of your body, Golf swing, Psychology and Golf equipment, the coaches will design a program that will optimize and develop the golfer you always knew you could be.

We understand the dynamics of learning a new skill and so visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learning tools are used to communicate the information needed to develop your knowledge.

Swing technique and style is as individual as your finger print.

At the Tim Absalom Golf Academy, we utilize the

K-Vest motion capture system to produce a three dimensional figure of your golf swing.

This gives the coaches the most detail to develop your personalised coaching plan.

Our goal is simple - To help you enjoy and play this great sport in the most effective way.

Aldridge celebrates maiden victory at GoodwoodIn a dramatic play-off Henry Aldridge (David Lloyd Golf Hampton) holed an eight foot putt to beat Andy Raitt (St. George's Hill) and his first win as a PGA Professional in the first C+K Group Southern PGA Championship at Goodwood. With both men shooting 72 and 68 to finish on two-under-par and a total of 140, Aldridge and Raitt were the only players to break par in extremely testing conditions around the recently refurbished Downs Course at Goodwood. Earning £2,000 and £1,500 respectively, they edged out PGA Surrey Open winner Nick Redfern into third place who shot 68 and 75 for a total of 143 for a cheque for £1,000. In the second round Aldridge made a fantastic start, opening with a shot to four feet for a birdie two at the 202 yard opening Par 3. He then peppered the pin positions to race away with birdies at the third, fifth, sixth and seventh to be out in five-under-par. Things cooled down and Aldridge made pars at the next four holes only to drop a shot at the long 14th. Still in the lead by one, he came to the 18th needing a par to win, but failed to get up and down from the back of the green after a flyer from the rough. Aldridge was realistic about his chances: "At this point, I knew I was going to be up against Andy Raitt in a two hole play off, and after his terrific win last week at Wildwood simply adding to his reputation, I knew the odds weren't exactly in my favour! "We played the first and the 17th, the two long Par 3s, and Andy hit his opening shot to eight foot. I managed to get my shot to around 30 feet and left my putt stone dead for a three, but Andy missed his so on we went to the 17th. "He pulled his tee shot left into a horrible lie, while mine finished on the fringe. Andy got his ball out to about 25 foot and just missed his putt, while I'd chipped poorly to eight feet. Out of the blue I had the opportunity to win my first event, so I took my time, lined it up and made it - fantastic! "Although I'd snatched victory from him at the last gasp, Andy was really gracious towards me, especially when he learned it was my first win as a PGA qualified professional. It all goes to make 2011 a very special year for me, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what I can do in 2012."Spencer Copley Wins Order of MeritCongratulations to Specer Copley 11 years old who won the Chelsfield Lake Junior order of merit at the Chelsfield Lakes Golf Club in Kent. Spencer has shown what can be done with focused practice. As part of the Aim for excellecnce program at the Olympic we are all very proud of this great achievment.

Henry Griffitts Club Fitting

Henry-Griffitts only fits and sells equipment through a national network of HG-Certified Teachers - golf professionals trained by HG to do the job more precisely and thoroughly than anyone in golf. Henry-Griffitts pioneered the idea of dynamic club fitting and its methods remain the envy of the golf industry. No one does it better. Custom-fitting golf clubs to individual golfers (then hand-assembling those clubs to the industry's tightest specifications) is a painstaking business. Only a company founded and administered by golf professionals would insist on this sort of methodical craftsmanship. Only a company founded and administered by golf professionals would insist that no club be sold unless it's first been custom fit to the customer by a HG-Certified Teacher. Only a company founded and administered by golf professionals would insist that the customer return to his/her HG-Certified Teacher as soon as possible for a free, follow-up fitting session - to make absolutely sure the clubs are doing their job (all adjustments are at no charge for the first 100 days). For centuries, club making was the golf professional's domain. Who, after all, better understood the swing motion, how to foster it, how to strengthen it, how to make it more consistent? Today, the golf professional still knows best. For 24 years, Henry-Griffitts has recognized the symbiotic relationship between teaching swings and golf equipment. With this experience and understanding, the company delivers more than the world's finest custom-fit golf equipment. HG delivers .CLICK ON THE TEXT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HENRY-GRIFFITTS CLUB FITTING
