Cleveland launches Performance Centre

Cleveland Golf and Srixon custom-fit facility finds home at Buchanan Castle

Man at the top: PGA professional Keith Baxter will take charge of the Performance Centre at Buchanan Castle

Cleveland Golf and Srixon have launched a new Performance Centre at Buchanan Castle Golf Club, to be headed up by PGA Professional Keith Baxter.

Baxter, who recently became the first Scottish winner of the Cleveland Golf and Srixon Invitational Pro-Am over 36 holes at Turnberry, will oversee the facility fitted with the latest GC2 launch monitors.

He said: “The new Performance Centre perfectly compliments the excellent facilities that already exist at Buchanan Castle and offers visiting golfers a service of the highest standard.

“On behalf of everyone at Buchanan Castle we’d like to thank Cleveland Golf and Srixon for their support in making this happen.”

Among the many options available, the new centre will give golfers the opportunity to choose from a 90 or 45-minute custom fitting and receive a gap fitting (working out how to set up your wedges to plug distance gaps) for Cleveland’s award-winning 588 wedges, as well as a custom fitting of the Cleveland Classic or CG Black drivers.

Cleveland Golf and Srixon European marketing manager Ben Davis said: “We’re delighted to partner the new Performance Centre at Buchanan Castle.

“Keith Baxter is one of Scotland’s top PGA Professionals, as proved by his victory in our Invitational at Turnberry, and the new Perfomance Centre gives golfers the best facilities to be custom fitted by one of the best in the business.”
