Testimonials
"Thank you so much for another great lesson. I didn't use the short game at The Wisley though. Because I didn't need it!!! We only played 9 holes but I hit 7 in regulation. I beat both my opponents and was only 2 over. They were quite shocked and are both thinking of a trip to Wokefield or Bristol! See you soon and thank you again. Now I really do believe I can get good at this game." TW - single figure hcp 2009
"I won The Chequers Plate at my Club, second only to the Club Championship. So I am £220 the richer and have a wonderful and very heavy sterling silver trophy. Oh, and my handicap is now going in the right direction. Currently 10. I see this as just the beginning. I know I am doing the right things and I have a much clearer idea where I can go with this. In short I am very pleased with myself and extremely grateful for your valuable help and support, without which I wouldn't be writing this email. I will make a booking soon to progress "The Plan"." DA - Hcp 10 2009
"Must tell you… The PGA PRO AM regional final. 17th Hole – on a good score – pressure mounting - partner out of hole - I have a greenside bunker shot of 15yards for par – HOLED IT!!!" MP - Professional 2009
"Can't thank you enough for probably the best tuition/lesson i have ever had. Since coming to see you at the pga course last week my short game has come alive from the brink of short game suicide. Everything you covered has worked for me and i'm now so looking forward to pitching rather than fearing it." DW - Professional 2009
"I played in the Club Stableford yesterday, admittedly off the yellow tees but it was a surreal day, 2 fairways missed, 18 greens in regulations (something I have never done before), 33 putts and 34 shots, what more can I say!!" MF - 1 hcp 2008
"Going great guns since last lesson. Played twice under handicap, irons superb (12 greens in reg on Wed). So thank you!!" GM - single figure hcp 2008

"My short game was very good throughout the whole week" Chris Lloyd following his 4 shot win in the Ernie Els World Junior Invitational in South Africa 2008
"My dearest hunk of a golf coach... There is no doubt in my mind that, were I able, and were the situation to be even remotely possible, I would clean for you, cook for you, probably even have your children. I would clean your shoes until my fingers bled, I would polish irons until they reflected the sheer brilliance in your eyes......Most of that is pretty unlikely so just another huge thanks for the coaching which today, in my first comp since the coaching camp, returned a net 68, with 28 putts and.....wait for it...7 - yes 7 up and downs...All in all a pretty good day since my previous best in the last 6 months, since the short game went AWOL, is a net 77!" ME (male!) 10 hcp - May 2008
