Warren Bennett

Former European Tour professional Warren Bennett has opened his first golf academy in Kent with one simple aim – to maker golfers better.

Bennett, who has been a professional for 21 years, opened the Warren Bennett Academy at Manston Golf Centre in Kent on January 30.

The state-of-the-art facility, which includes two separate studios, is equipped with all the latest swing analysis technology, including Flightscope, which the 44-year-old former Scottish Open champion will combine with his own in-depth knowledge of the game to help golfers of all skill levels to improve every aspect of their play.

Bennett says he also wants to pass on what he has learned from the game’s top coaches. “I’ve looked at coaches like Butch Harmon, David Leadbetter, Pete Cowen, and seen how they work and how they coach,” Bennett said. “They are some of the best in the business, and they make the game look simple. It really isn’t difficult – if you are well coached, your game will improve.”

He added: “I am really enthusiastic about teaching. I want people to come to me for a session and be a better golfer than when they walked in. Simple. My playing days have been somewhat curtailed by injuries, but I have such a passion for teaching others, and the academy is something I’ve always wanted to set up. It’s all my own input and I can’t wait to pass on my knowledge.”

Bennett is the head coach the academy, where he will be assisted by senior coach Max Brackley. Bennett, who lives in Broadstairs, is extremely flexible with what he can offer as a coach. “I want to bring all of my 21 years as a professional to the table. And I think that makes me offer something different than a lot of coaches in the area.”

Three hours of coaching with Bennett himself will cost £99, a special launch offer price, while the same course of coaching with Brackley costs £69. For bookings visit www.warrenbennettacademy.co.uk or call 07908 203118
