Second facility in New York Metro area provides opportunities for practice, game improvement, and golf instruction by Leadbetter-trained professionals
Westbury, NY – Golfzon Range by Leadbetter has opened its doors in Westbury, Long Island, N.Y. This indoor golf training and practice facility, anchored by Golfzon’s most advanced golf simulators, features golf professionals trained by world-renown instructor David Leadbetter.
The new facility – located at 655 Merrick Ave, Westbury, NY 11590 – is under the direction of Rich McDonough, long-time Long Island golf insider, who most recently was head golf professional at Marine Park Golf Course.
Players of all abilities are welcomed to learn, practice or refine their games using 18 Golfzon Driving Range (GDR+) simulators, a Puttview interactive slopped putting green, or via private or group instruction from Leadbetter-accredited instructors. Every detail of the facility has been designed to help golfers of all skill levels learn faster and improve more efficiently, before taking their game to the golf course or to focus on specific skills between rounds. There are more than 200 courses available on the Golfzon simulators.
Golfzon Range by Leadbetter locations offer a choice of membership tiers combining instruction and unrestricted range time. The indoor facilities encourage year-round, all-day opportunities for practice. Other services include private lessons, swing analysis, group classes, tournaments, competition, special programs for juniors, women and seniors, and summer camps.
McDonough’s on-site team includes full-time coach and Certified Leadbetter Instructor James McElhatton; Mario Calmi, 30+ year Leadbetter disciple, and esteemed local coach Bob Posillico, who hangs his hat at Eisenhower Park Golf Course.
“We’ve assembled a seasoned, skilled team to open our second Golfzon Range by Leadbetter and are eager to welcome golfers from Long Island to our new golf training center,” said Benedict Riches, CEO, Golfzon Leadbetter. “Our first location (in Little Ferry, NJ) has demonstrated how much golfers can improve, especially beginners, and verifies that our methodologies and technologies are making a difference.”
