The world-renowned golf coach David Leadbetter is set to open the Leadbetter Golf Academy European Headquarters at Stoke Park Country Club & Hotel, in Buckinghamshire. David Leadbetter, who has coached players to 22 Major championships and more than 100 individual worldwide tournament victories, has more than 30 academies across the globe. The Stoke Park Academy will be the 13th to open in Europe.

The annual International ProAm staged at the Argentario Golf Resort & Spa which this year takes place on May 19 & 20 is taking the final few bookings for this popular event hosted at one of Tuscany’s top golf resorts. 

 Almost 90 years ago the creation of two iconic golf courses - Le Touquet Golf Resort's La Mer (The Sea) and Golf d'Hardelot's Les Pins (The Pines) - triggered a golden age of golf travel for France's Channel-facing Côte d'Opale. Today, thanks to painstaking restoration work that has seen both courses returned to their original glory and prompted unprecedented climbs in a respected ranking of Europe's top 100 courses, the region is preparing for another.

It certainly feels like it's been a long winter this year... The yearning for perfectly shaped trails, stunning mountain views and getting out there to ride with buddies is huge! Mountain bike rookies and families still have to be patient until the doors to Bikepark Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis open on June 8, but the new clip with Jackson Goldstone, "Day out with Dad", may provide some relief and certainly create some stoke for the new season ahead.
