The Grove in Hertfordshire has launched a new custom-fitting facility that introduces regular golfers to tour-inspired game analysis and equipment recommendations.
Permanently on site at the Watford-based resort, the Tour Truck sits at the end of The Grove’s driving range and offers amateur golfers the opportunity to feel like a pro for the day, as they enjoy a one-to-one custom fit from a PGA-qualified technician.
The 11-metre long truck, which has a side-wall that opens out to provides a hitting platform onto a full-length driving range, features cutting-edge technologies such as TrackMan, as well as hardware support from leading brands including TaylorMade, Titleist and Mizuno.
Anna Darnell, Director of Golf and Leisure at The Grove, commented: “We have always had the desire to improve our custom fitting services and take them to the next level, and having our very own Tour Truck gives our customers a very special experience.”
She added: “Whether customers come for a bespoke club-fitting service, a golf lesson or as part of a corporate event, the Tour Truck will add to our first-class service and facilities to ensure we deliver an outstanding all-round experience, on and off our championship golf course.”
Head PGA Professional, Mike Shrieve, will manage the Tour Truck Experience at The Grove, and one of the first VIP visitors was the resort’s golf ambassador and European Tour star, David Howell.
Howell commented: “This is a fabulous new facility for customers of The Grove to fine-tune their games and their equipment choices. For this level of technology and analysis to be accessible in this way creates a memorable and enjoyable experience for all levels of player.”
