Project Pro - UK - North West

[Brettleon123]

Hello all,

I am 25 from Northwich UK and am looking for a golf mentor. I have been playing golf for around 16 months and currently am a 10 handicapper (Currently playing to around +6, unable to get handicap reduction in winter. Won lots though

). I work 7-4 and play some form of golf everyday.

I have lots of charity golf tours and open amateur events planned this year and I am looking for a mentor, preferably a pro to help me get to that level. I am committed to being a better playing and competing at the highest level I possibly can.

The issue I face at the moment is I have hit a barrier. I don't know or play with anyone better than myself currently and I am just working on things I think are right and mindlessly practicing anything I think I should. I have worked with 2 pros but both felt more interested in quick simple fixes that show immediate results but don't ultimately get me where I want to be.

So I'm interested in anyone out there that is interested in a project.

Thanks for reading

Brett

Mate, if you are playing to +6 and have improved by 16 shots in a winter, you should be on the television.

 

[Brettleon123]

Ermmmmm not sure what you have read. I never said I improved by 16 shots.

But thanks for reading anyway

Think it's based on the fact you said your a 10 handicap but now playing to +6 which equates to a 16 shot difference.

 

[Karl102]

I think the op means he has improved by four shots and plays to a 6hc... I think

You can only reply to what the OP posted.

my handicap is 10(+10) and am currently playing to 6(+6).
Thats only four shot difference. It would be 16 if I was +10 down to -6.

Where do you play in Northwich? Some nice courses out that way!

​

With handicapping if you are off a + handicap that means you hit under par. A - handicap is over par. So your official handicap is -10 but your currently playing to -6.

What level are you aiming for? Have you tried other members of your club who are at a better standard, or talked to the club pro?

 

[Brettleon123]

Well at my current club there is only one or two players lower than me and they don't play consistently and there is no pro currently. I am in the process of joining a new club which have a very large category one membership but I don't know anyone there at first.

I would like to be able to attend qualifying school (long term).

I understand the confusion now. I meant I am playing to +6 over par each round.

Personally, I'd wait till you get to your new club, for the time being just keep doing what you're doing. If you're down to a playing ability of a 6 handicap after only 18 months then you are obviously doing something right. However, if you are thinking about Qualifying School as in to get on Tour, then you have got a hell of a lot to do and you can forget about working 7-4 unless by work you mean practising your golf.

I hope you find what you're looking for though, but just remember it's a game to be enjoyed, don't put too much pressure on yourself.

10 to 5 is fairly easy, its a completely different game getting below 5 handicap.

Where are you joining?

 

[Brettleon123]

Sandiway.

I appreciate all your feedback. I have a lot of charity comps and match play games arranged this year. I will hopefully be down to category one quickly.

[Karl102]

Great course Sandiway!

Good luck with the cat 1 quest!

 

[Region3]

I've not checked but isn't Jason Dransfield up that way? He sounds a great guy for a long term project.

Good luck with it Brett.

I immediately thought of Jason too.
