Good evening golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition to our weekly newsletter. Enjoy the read.

Dunham Forrest success

First week back and straight into representing the club in the Dunham Forrest knock-out competition, which we were successful in winning against Ashton Under Lyne. I managed to seal a victory along with Phil Osbourne, Ron Harrison and Neil Andrew with Mike Wallwork getting a half.

This takes us through to the quarter final one step away from finals day held at Dunham Forrest Golf Club. Well done to all the team and fingers crossed for the next round.

Success stories...

The diary has been quiet full since being back and a notable mention has to go to Olivier Troalen who has had a very successful few weeks after working hard on increasing distance. Diana Stevenson for her success on the 8th this week after our playing lesson and Tim Hirst who is now in three semi-final k-out competitions.

Get yourself a lesson...

It’s not too late to have a big finish to your season and get in touch to book a lesson.

We are also getting to the time of year when I start to design winter plan’s ready for next year, so that we are clear on what we need to achieve from October to March.

If you are answering yes to any of the following questions then get in touch to see if we can improve your performance and achieve some goals:

• Can play well when you don’t have a card in your hand?
• Fed up of friends beating you?
• Handicap stuck or starting to go up?
• Scared of a certain area on the course?
• Playing well for 15 holes but letting 3 holes spoil the round?
• Feel your scores should be better than what they add up to but can’t put your finger on why?

The latest update...

This week we have the Titleist Rep coming in to show us the new range of irons and hybrids that are being launched.
