TESTIMONIAL

Feilding pro gives brief lesson to a struggling hacker, who promptly holes in one.

"Yep, it happened on Saturday. I'd like to say I was swinging like Ernie Els but in reality I struggled to control my desire to "hit" from the top instead of just swinging. Time after time I felt the hands/arms coming into it from the top, with the right shoulder coming over. But I got it right at least twice, both at par threes, with a birdie at the first and a hole in one at the second. It doesn't get much better than that."

"I realise it is going to take me a long time to break the bad habits of years, but I'll stick with it."

"I have had many lessons over the years from various Professionals in England , but having 'discovered' Don about 3 years ago on one of my annual visits to New Zealand I would not ever have another  lesson from anyone else. His teaching, not only of the technique of the golf swing but also the reasoning behind,  is so easy to understand.

I have had a 'mental block' when chipping for quite a few years and been unable to transfer to the Course what other Professionals taught me, but one lesson from Don has cured my problem and I am full of confidence. Last week I was actually complimented on my chipping by a low handicap golfer.

Thanks Don for giving me back my confidence and with it a renewed enjoyment of my game."
