Wilson Staff - Exclusive sponsor to the Bob Torrance School of Golf

The tried and tested technology that goes into Wilson Staff equipment is currently used on tour by a number of players including Major Championship winners Padraig Harrington and Paul Lawrie.

For further information on the exciting range of Wilson Staff products visit: www.wilsonstaff.com.

The golf facility has been in use since 1984. In May 2009 the facility was upgraded and renamed the Bob Torrance School of Golf and opened by Mr Torrance. It has a fantastic outlook across the Firth of Clyde to the isles of Bute and Cumbrae and over the mountains of Arran.

The facility offers four different practice holes, a large putting green, an artificial putting surface, driving bays as well as floodlit coaching bays, a new members area and the new professional teaching bay with state-of-the-art V1 professional software and video analysis equipment.

This unique facility operates as a practice area and not as a playing course. Different users and groups can take advantage of this facility by becoming an annual member, purchasing a day pass, booking the facility for group training sessions or by booking on to the many lessons on offer.

Indoor/outdoor junior group lessons with clubgolf Level 1 sportscotland staff, individual lessons, junior/adult group lessons, floodlit lessons, tuition breaks and if required tailor-made packages for four or more players, all coached by centre authorised PGA Professionals.

Once your lesson has come to an end and should you wish to continue to practice please purchase a day pass or become a member.

Users should provide their own equipment when using the practice facility however clubs and balls are provided if taking part in lessons.

One of the great advantages of this facility is that there are no tee off times, arrive at your leisure and practice for as long as you need. The facility is open (weather permitting) all year round.

Areas - suggested practice usage

Area 1

This area is to be used to practice the 'short game'. There is a double green for putting and a large bunker for sand shots. Around the immediate fringes there are suitable areas for chipping and to the right of the green longer pitching shots can be practiced. There is also a four holed artificial putting surface that can be used all year round.

Area 2

The driving bay will be used for driving and for fairway woods. Yardage markers will be positioned in front of the bays to determine distance. There is also a dedicated members' area adjacent to bay 1 with toilet/changing facilities and the larger teaching bay adjacent to bay 6 for professional coaching

Area 3

This area, on the right of the driving bays, will be used to practice the middle and short irons (5-9 irons). The area around the green as well as the green, is on target.

Area 4

This area, situated in the far corner of the field, will be used for long and middle irons (1-5) as well as fairway woods. There is adequate space available and the raised green in the corner is the target.

Area 5

This area is situated in the middle of the course and is ideally suited for middle to short irons (5-7), hitting to a sloping green, which is protected by two bunkers.

Area 6

This area to the left of the floodlit bays is suitable for practicing with long irons and utility clubs.
