The driving range, at present, contains 50 tee off boxes with 21 of them under cover. Once things dry up a little, Haime said five of every seven tees will be hit from grass. Adding more tees on natural grass is one of the big improvements from the set up at Double Deck which he operated until the leased property was sold to Nortel last year. The driving range is complemented with six specific target greens, with three of them being bunkered. Yardage postings and markers will give golfers a fairly accurate distance measurement and will be spaced out every 80 feet.
Golfers wishing to improve their game can enlist the services of the six pros on staff.
The teaching room is air-conditioned and fitted with a giant video screen for swing analysis. Haime is a firm believer in the use of video and students will get to see their swing on the life size projection screen. Relaxing armchairs and coffee tables invite the student to learn the game in total comfort. I'm anxious to get out of work clothes and back into golf clothes and teaching. For the next three weeks the centre will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
