Performance Golf
The University of Nottingham Golf Club has three teams, which provide for elite players from plus handicaps to more social players with handicaps of mid-teens. The club participates in the BUCS league and cup competitions as well as providing opportunities for the most able to play in individual competitions . It is also part of the Nottingham Varsity programme.
Although the club caters for members with a range of handicaps it is required that you have your own golf clubs and equipment and have played golf to the above ability before.
The club operates a Performance Squad for players with 1st team potential, which provides strength and conditioning and physiotherapy services, in addition to nutrition and sports psychology support. This consists of roughly 10 members who will have access to the above benefits. More widely, the rest of the squad will have access to group coaching once a week and are heavily involved in playing matches.
