Horsham Golf, which operates a 27-hole golf facility and driving range in West Sussex, has unveiled plans for the building of 800 new homes on its land as part of the development that will see the closure of its 18-hole Oaks course.

Horsham Golf will lose its 18-hole course but retain its driving range and short course and get a new clubhouse and mini golf facility built if the plans are approved

A 50% share in the club, which is located on the western edge of Horsham, was recently bought by property firm Generator Group, which wants to convert the 137-acre site into ‘Horsham Golf and Fitness Village’ should it get planning approval.

According to plans outlined by Generator Group, the golf facilities at the new-look site would include a 9-hole golf course, a training course, mini golf, a driving range and a new clubhouse.

The site, which is also currently home to Horsham Football Club, with a stadium and training facility, is also set to become the new home of The Golf College, an educational facility for 50 sixth form age students seeking to pursue a career in golf. The college has been based at Lindfield Golf Club in Haywards Heath since 2007.

The closure of the 18-hole Oaks Course, which first opened in 2016, would create the space for 800 new homes. The site would also include a shop, café, community hub and co-working space for residents, along with allotments, community gardens and parkland.In addition to providing a new base for the Golf College, the site would also provide a permanent new home for Horsham Hockey Club and for charity Warren Clark Golfing Dreams.

The Generator Group is to submit a formal planning application on its proposals to Horsham District Council later this year.

Shot Scope adds ‘Shots Plotted’ feature to help golfers develop best scoring strategy

detlef32 — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 10:57:57 +0000

Shot Scope has developed a new feature of its data capture software that further enhances the experience of users of its golf GPS devices.

The new ‘Shots Plotted’ feature enables golfers to see a historical snapshot of where tee shots have finished up and the club that was used, providing the means to create a strategical plan for every hole.

Shot Scope continues to offer new ways in which golfers can analyse their rounds at their home course or one they have played multiple times – creating a visual map of how to play every hole on the course. From where you make birdies, to where you have struggled with bogeys, this new feature allows you to identify the best strategy to play the hole – maximising your chances of a low scoring round.With a new way to visualise performance, users will have the ability to delve into their golf game in as little or as much detail as they want. With a variety of filters available, the tool is there to assist golfers in the way that benefits them the most. Individual club used, end location of the shot, score, and an individual strokes gained benchmark score are some of the filters that can be applied so that golfers can analyse their game through a different lens each time.

“We wanted to provide our users with tour-level statistics that are displayed in a very digestible visual graphic to make the process of learning about your game as easy as it can be,” said Gavin Dear, Shot Scope’s chief commercial officer. “Having a tool that enables golfers to generate a data driven strategy for every hole will act as a personal score saver that players can refer back to during practice or playing. We’re proud to be able to share this with our community of golfers.”

The ‘Shots Plotted’ feature can be used by golfers who own Shot Scope’s PRO LX+ laser/GPS, as well as any of its data tracking V2 and V3 watches via the Shot Scope app.
