We’re proud to co-host a Masterclass with Dominika Turkovic — APP Tour player and English Open Champion.

This is not a casual clinic. This is three focused hours on:
• Perfecting the basics
• Being aggressive at the kitchen line
• Knowing when to drive — and when to drop
• Live tactical adjustments and real match strategy

A rare opportunity for Swedish players to learn directly from the highest level of players.

If you’re serious about improving, this is a must!
