Mellor hopes to school golfers in a relaxed, enjoyable environment

The Julian Mellor Golf School at the Warwick Golf Centre on Hampton Road, will be the only venue in the area which is totally dedicated to teaching golf.

Providing tuition to golfers of all abilities, the aim of the new school is to create a relaxed environment where players can learn and improve their golf in an enjoyable fashion.

Commenting on the launch, Mellor said: “It’s been a long- held ambition of mine to create a dedicated learning centre where I can fully concentrate on doing what I love and work with people on improving and enjoying their golf.

“My vision really is to create a whole new local golfing community where players enjoy learning together whilst also experiencing the social side of golf, and it’s certainly a journey I’m looking forward to embarking on.”
