Touché – a golf school, for the mind, body and soul

blue

Friday, April 1, 2011 was no April Fool’s day at Touché. It was a milestone event, with the launch of the Touché Golf School in Yelahanka, Bangalore. The inaugural ceremony had some of the biggies from the world of golf and Bangalore’s corporate circles coming in for a special preview.

Visitors and guests at the event were taken on a conducted tour of the academy, which is easily the largest integrated golf instruction facility in the world.

And so what’s different?

By and large, other forms of outdoor sport have easy access to learning facilities. Golf doesn’t, because you need to inherit a club membership or have a godfather somewhere who will play benefactor; that’s why learning the game for many keen enthusiasts has always remained a distant dream.A dream that will soon turn into reality

The ‘Play Golf India’ program of Touché Golf School now makes a paradigm shift, to allow easy access to its school and playing facility, as long as you are keen and eager to learn. The 26 acre academy also comes with a 6-hole golf course – making it the single largest golf instruction base in the world.

Here are some feature highlights at the Touché Golf School

* Complete turf based range with no artificial mats

* Six dedicated practice areas covering all aspects of the game

* Playing field can accommodate 150 students at a time.

* 22000 square foot putting greens with 3 types of grass –Bent, Bermuda and Paspallum

* Practice bunkers – deep, medium and shallow, with the scope for hitting long bunker shots

* Long game area with 320 yard length

* Chipping area for rolling chips

* 3 dimensional biometric swing analysis

Golf has been described as a game played in the 5 inches between your ears as much as it is on the vast expanse of open land – that’s why Touché has a 360* approach to the learning process. Every aspect of one’s physical being connects to making a golfer. For this very reason, the school has the right faculty to teach various aspects of the game, in addition to mind trainers, fitness trainers, a nutritionist, and a sports physiologist. The facility also has a fully equipped cafeteria that meets stringent hygiene standards and serves food that’s both healthy and tasty.

Keeping in mind the great influence of golf in the corporate world, the Touché Golf School has a corporate zone with an amphitheatre - ideal for corporate training programs, meetings and outdoor sessions. The facility can also conduct golf clinics for small to large groups – in fact even 100-member groups can be handled..
