Michael Newton, PGA Head 
Professional at Barrow Golf Club
I have been the Head Professional at Barrow Golf Club for 5 years and since arriving I have invested in building a state of the art indoor Swing & Custom Fit Studio which houses all the latest technology to assist with my coaching and club fitting.
This facility proves to be very popular and attracts golfers from across the county as we can look after your swing and equipment all under one roof! Video analysis helps the pupil to understand their swing and launch monitor technology helps to custom fit equipment to suit golfers individual built, technique and style.
