Tree Tops Golf displays new state-of-the-art facilities for golf fanatics

Tree Tops Golf hosted their open house today and hundreds of Villagers and local residents stopped in to take a tour of the new facilities. Over 500 attendees were dazzled by the new Michael Girard Golf Studios, which includes a Trackman Golf Lesson station, Club Fitting, and a Putting Lab. Owners Joy and Michael Girard assert that the Trackman, used by countless professional golfers to hone the science behind their swings, is one of the most technologically advanced machines available in the sport.

“They always treat me really good here,” said Robert (“Bob”) Cochran. Cochran, a resident of The Village of Liberty Park, has been a member with Tree Tops ever since they started their membership program and has been visiting their facilities since he moved into the area three and a half years ago. He has already taken advantage of the new studio and is gaining valuable knowledge on his swing. “My first lesson was on the six iron to see how far and how well I hit it. I hit it 30 yards shorter than I thought I was supposed to hit it,” said Cochran of the information the Trackman provided on his swing.

The day was filled with free tips and pointers from owner Michael Girard, a PGA professional who offers lessons to Villagers and local residents. If you are interested in touring the new facility or scheduling a lesson using their new Trackman (pictured below), visit Tree Tops Golf at www.GolfTreeTops.com or contact them by telephone at (352) 259-2313.
