A1 Golf Centre 40 TopTracer bays, Fully floodlit, Automated power tees, Foresight Sports simulator, Indoor putting

Open since 1991, the A1 Golf Centre is considered one of the best located driving ranges in London. Following an extensive renovation in 2010-11, the centre offers 47 bays with a floodlit multi-shot outfield, a Nicklaus design short game area and Dinosaur Safari adventure golf amongst 7 giants of the Jurassic period that are visible from the A1 near the Borehamwood exit.

Have you ever hit a tee shot so badly that it went straight into the ground? It happens to the best of us! 😅

But if that ball buries itself underground, does it qualify as an embedded ball, allowing free relief?

The Rule: If your ball is driven directly into the ground without becoming airborne, it is not considered embedded under Rule 16.3a(2). This means you are not entitled to free relief. 👎

In most cases, you'll need to play the ball as it lies or declare it unplayable and take a one-stroke penalty.

However, if the ball remains within the teeing area, you can lift it and tee it up again anywhere within the teeing area without penalty, playing your next shot as your second stroke under Rule 6.2b. 👍

If this just so happens to occur on the first tee, we'd argue it's probably fair to request a mulligan!

Stay tuned for more golf rules explained. 👀

Summer is finally here – which means more time out on the course and (hopefully), more warm and sunny weather. ☀️

To help you play your best this season, here are 3 clothing essentials we recommend to keep you cool, comfortable and focused on your game:

👕 Performance fabrics
Stretchy, sweat-wicking, SPF-rated and lightweight materials are crucial if you want to play comfortably in hot weather conditions.

🧢 A cap
Caps are the golfer's Swiss Army Knife – they keep out the rain and sun, absorb sweat and keep your head from burning. You can never have too many!

🧦 Breathable socks
Your feet can roast in the summer sun so opt for merino or synthetic sports socks instead of cotton to avoid blisters.

Swing by our onsite American Golf store on your next visit to stock up on these summer essentials and more from all the best brands in golf. 🛍️

“A golf ball will always travel farthest when hit in the wrong direction” - Henry Beard

We’re not sure about you, but this definitely rings true for us!

No matter how big the fairway is, an unexpected slice always seems to go further than one right down the middle.

Get those balls under control at the A1 Golf Activity Centre. A range of technique-transforming technology awaits!

We’ll see you out there. 👀

Aiming for the flag sounds like the best way to approach the green but it’s actually more likely to result in extra strokes. 🤔

Instead, you should aim for the largest part of the green, to give yourself the biggest target to aim for. 🎯

Typically, the flag is placed near the edges, which makes it much easier to miss or overshoot, resulting in challenging chip shots back on, or worse, shots out of the bunker. 🪣

On your next round, look beyond the flag for the safest place to land, and give yourself the best chance of keeping it on the green. ⛳

Does your green play need some work? Spend some time in our short game area on your next visit. 👍

This time of year, the Eagle Pit Bar and Grill comes into its own. 🍻

Their outdoor seating area offers views across the range, with shaded seating available for when the weather gets really hot.☀️

They offer a wide range of refreshments, including burgers, breakfasts, sandwiches and snacks as well as hot, cold and alcoholic drinks. 🍹

It’s the perfect place to refuel after a round of mini golf, refresh after a hard practice session or rest up with friends.

If you’re hungry but short on time, you can even order food directly to your bay. 🏌️‍♂️

What happens if a dog runs onto the fairway and picks up your golf ball? 🤔

It’s not as far-fetched as it seems! 🐶

A dog (or any animal for that matter) is classed as an “outside influence,” so if your ball was at rest and gets moved by a furry course invader, there’s NO penalty.

You simply place the ball back to its original spot, or replace it with a new one and continue play – you’re even allowed to wipe off any slobber too. 🏌️‍♂️

Fortunately, even if the dog thinks it’s a game of fetch, your scorecard remains intact. 😂

We’d love to hear if you’ve ever had any animal-encounters on the course. 🐿️
