Last week was a really good one from my perspective on a coaching front. I'm lucky enough to coach a young man called Danny Young from Craigie Hill Golf Club in Perth. I've been coaching Danny who is a member of the Scottish Golf Union national squad and who represents Scotland as an Amateur player for around two years now.
Last week, he had the best week of his career in winning the South African Amateur Championship. He won the final 8/6 after playing some terrific golf. Well done to Danny on a great achievement.
See the following link for the press report: http://www.scottishgolf.org/young-savours-south-africa-success/
We have been receiving great feedback on the condition of the course this week as we tip-toe out of the winter. Nine visitors played with us on Tuesday and were amazed how good it was.
We have also had many plaudits on the general conditioning from members who continue to be impressed with the tidy up of the rough areas along with the daily improving greens. Credit must go to Colin and the guys for the continued good work.
Junior /Games night
Our annual Junior night is on Thursday, 25 March in the clubhouse at the golf club. This year it comes with an added twist with some light hearted games. Starting from 7pm till around 8/8.30ish we hope as many of you can make it as possible.
Other areas of Junior importance at the club are as follows:
~ If anyone has any ladies clubs or practice golf balls they would like to donate to the junior section it would be much appreciated.
~ We also want to issue a reminder that the practice ground/course is exactly that on most Sunday afternoons for a couple of hours and also again on a Monday evening.
Trolley servicing is now £29.99 following the end of our mass sale.
This is still a great offer, and below RRP, so make sure you get your trolley sorted, in readiness for this year of golf.

Spring Coaching Offer
I'd like to bring you a great way to Improve your golf - guaranteed! A bold statement - Yes, however I believe with two half hour lessons I can definitely move your game forward in a very simple and timely manner.
How?
Lesson one
Rather than try to change too much in your swing we will work hard on getting your pre swing position (set up) to match up better with how your swing operates. With a good understanding of this simple way to improve, you will be on your way very quickly to better results.
Lesson two
Will simply be there to reinforce the first session and push you on a little if you have already made the necessary changes.
What you need to do - simply take two 30 minute lessons, roughly 3-4 weeks apart with a small amount of practice in between.
Cost - £50 (save £10 on normal price). Lessons must be completed by 31st May. Lessons to be taken 3-4 weeks apart. This offer is valid until 15th April.
