Harpenden Common Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional
An interesting start to the week!
This week started off with some defibrillator training. The club's team is now fully trained in the use of this great machine. Thanks to St Johns Ambulance for the great service and training. Well done to all of the golf club team.
Richard Dew's Stag Night
Many of you know Richard Dew our scratch team player and former club champion. Richard is getting married this weekend so last weekend he made the most of his freedom and played 18 holes here at the greatest club in Hertfordshire followed by a curry and beers in the clubhouse.
Not many of them remembered what happened that night but we have had word from Ian and Barry and they have had to re order Peroni, I think that says it all.
Congratulations Rabbit!
Well done to John Coelho on the great things he has done for Watling View School, last Saturday he ran a small golf day and then a very successful disco in the evening. The day raised over £2700! Watling View School is such a great cause and as a club we will do as much as we can to support them.
Herts 10k
As part of my marathon training last week I took part in the Herts 10K. I saw many familiar faces on the track one being well known member Ian McCreery. Unfortunately it didn't quite go to plan and I have pulled my calf muscle which is a massive set back to my training! So over the next few weeks you may see me hopping around. I'll keep you updated with my progress.
Captain Pro Match
Thanks to Dale and Tony for a great match last Monday. These two were 12 under Betterball which was always going to be a difficult score to overcome. I had the help of a buggy due to my bad leg and spent the whole day hitting low draws. Thanks Dale and Tony for a great afternoon.
Golf Show 2015
I mentioned last week I was nominated for EMP Pro of the year, unfortunately I didn't go on to win the prize but my very good friend Joel Saunders from Verulam Golf Club won the award.
There's always next year!
Teaching and coaching conference
Last week we were lucky enough to take part in the 2015 PGA Coaching and teaching conference hosted by Martin Hall and Greg Rose, both top guys in the industry.
Greg works for TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) He works with top players on their flexibility and fitness, he taught us some impressive drills on gaining more power in the golf swing. Search TPI on YouTube to see some of his impressive videos.
Martin Hall is a class AAA PGA professional working in Florida and also has his own show on the golf channel. He has taught me some very impressive drills to use with my lessons, which you may see in your next lesson!
