Nick commented:
"During the many years of playing on the European Tour, it’s not often you see a facility that provides the same quality seen on tour. For this reason, I choose Desert Springs as the ideal European venue for my pre-season training.
The warm and welcoming service makes any trip to Desert Springs memorable; personally I can't wait to get back!"
Nick utilized the excellent practice facilities at the Desert Springs Golf Academy where he was able to work with his coach and take advantage of the use of the Desert Springs short game academy and take it to the course on The Indiana.

With a golf course and practice facilities that would rival any European Tour Tournament, Desert Springs is a venue that has simply got it right!
Personally, I can’t wait to come back…”
