It's full this year but anyone putting there name down would get in next year.
Martin is a top bloke, he explains why your doing something then things just fall into place, hope I do his coaching some justice 😂😂

was briefly a member, but found it was packed when i wanted to play a few holes in the evening and no one ever let you through. Where i live in town it would take me longer to get there than Nairn, so gave up. waste of the joining fee.
The joining fee is a pain, they lost 88 members this year and took in 72, I believe there is a lot of retired members there, I'm hoping to get out early in the morning.
yeas, was speaking to a guy from Torvean the other day, he had joined with a couple mates a couple of years ago. They are all back there now.

Had a chipping lesson on Friday with our assistant pro. Am sure he needed a lie down in a darkened room afterwards. I am crap at it

But are you less crap than before the lesson?

My practice swings are better
I just seem to have a mental block when it's the real swing. Also haven't had time to practice it properly yet.

Stick with it. I have the same issue and the practice swing is smooth and I stand over the ball and as I take it back, it looks like I've gone into a fit and it's so quick and jerky. For me the linear method takes that away to a degree. Make me chip "normally" and its horrid

I had a lesson at InPlay in Bristol on Sunday.
What an absolute eye opener looking at all the data on the screen
Can't wait to go back in a fortnights time!

Is that the first time you've had a lesson with launch monitor stats. If the pro you use is able to explain the numbers properly and simply it can be a real help in understanding what you are doing in the swing. Try to avoid getting too bogged down or obsessed with the data though

Yep, it was the first time I'd ever seen any sort of numbers.
He explained them all to me too and said my game is in good shape and that I should accelerate my one, two and five year goals
May have to change the shafts in my clubs though :rofl:

Am 3 lessons through a course of 5 with Adrian Fryer at Tru Fit golf. Really good stuff and I think I am getting somewhere. Swing is a lot more neutral as opposed to having an uber strong grip and relying on my hands to get to the right position.
I get a video analysis after every lesson. Below is lesson 2. It's good to get, so when I practise or go to the range I watch it agin to remind me of what I am working on.

Glad it's coming together. I'd rather get custom fitted for new clubs rather than buy new shafts but that's a personal preference

Nice one mate. Video is super handy to refer back to. how you getting on with the grip? I've had two lessons and the grip was one thing I was struggling to change.
Ive since turned a corner through my own work and I'm not sure if I will continue to try the pros way. Currently hitting the ball as well as I ever have. Real catch 22. need some proper range work before I go back. I didn't do enough this month to justify going back to him and seeing what he wants to do next as I haven't nailed the weaker grip and back swing yet.

It's been really hard to stick with it Gaz, but am trying. Hands sneaking around, but am gonna persevere... my misses are certainly not as bad and my timing has improved.
I have split the lessons every 2/3 weeks as so to work on it. If I book another set I will split them further as the swing changes shouldn't be as radical! I looked a mess on the first lesson video. Real cricket style swing... am enjoying them though and coming away positive, which I guess is a good thing...

Glad u are enjoying it. Ive found it interesting but tough as the swing feels like the complete opposite of what i normally do.
Certianly cant get the ball around the course in a good number doing it.
I had the first two a month apart. Wasnt ready for the 3rd this month. Think i did the right thing postponeing this months if i havnt done my homework so to speak.

Had a lesson with Andrew at the Nevill GC in Tunbridge Wells this morning. Won it via their Facebook page comp and I'll definitely be going back to him.
Really is amazing what a good pro can do with your game in 30 mins! Most of my poor shots come from not getting my weight through the ball and lead to topping the ball or just stuffing the shot. Gave me a warm up exercise to try and eradicate that part of my game, a few pointers on my posture which immediately changed my irons and then changed my set up with driver. Will be getting in as much practice as possible in the next few weeks and look to go back middle of March, I reckon.

Good result and nice when you just click with a new pro and what he says makes instant sense. Are you a member there or did you just enter the comp to get the lesson?
