“I retired at 65 and at that point had never been on a golf course. I was looking for a hobby which would provide some physical and mental exercise, preferably outdoors, but not too strenuous. A friend suggested that he and I should take up golf. We did so, and much as I enjoyed our strolls around the golf course, I knew that my game had faults which I could not correct on my own.
So far Andrew has taught me basic golfing techniques covering many course situations and given me the confidence needed in developing my game. I am pleased to report that I have made some progress towards the standard which I would like to achieve. Golf has given me a welcome challenge and I take pride in the modest improvements to my game which would not have been possible without Andrews guidance ”
“It was great learning in a group with people that were just starting to play golf, there was no pressure and it was good fun. I didn't have any clubs or idea how play to golf when i started the beginners class but can now get myself around a golf course.”
