What an amazing course, I had a fantastic time and absolutely loved the billiard table greens, well after it took a few holes to get the hang of them. Thanks to Paul and Martyn for your hospitality and the chance to stand next to Luke Donald while he is doing a golf clinic. also standing on the edge if the green 15 foot from the hole and nearly seeing Donald stick it in the hole on the full from 195 yards was nearly spectacular.

Great day. Course is always in superb condition, and the greens were pretty nippy when you got on the wrong side of the flag. Many thanks to Paul for the invite, and the less said about the golf the better ! So glad I carried on a lovely hot day. Good to see a few' old' faces, and some new ones.

Watching Luke Donald chip around the 18th obviously inspired my group, as we all got down in two from off the the same green.:thup:

Nice to see everyone - great watching pros close up for the first time. The weather was on our side, the course in lovely condition and good banter. Here are some snaps of the clinic and Luke playing his first shot on the ninth from 192 yards - nearly slam dunked it with a four iron! Spot the ex-smoker and his new tall best friend!

Who is the guy in the blue and white top ?

That must have been a great clinic to watch

Who is the guy in the blue and white top ?

Daan Huizing. Dutch player that has recently turned pro. Was ranked number 1 amateur in the world. He holed out of the bunker which was a bit flash.

:rofl: What with my chipping yips.

All three said to chip with hands slightly behind the ball, and use the bounce of the club. I use the jerking hands forward axe technique.:thup: It was frightening how close to the ball they hit when playing out of the sand. I would thin it 30 yards over the green playing like that.

It certainly is a different class when watching them - especially a Donald - it just seems so easy for him. Anytime I see him chip it always seem to be landing exactly where it needs too
