NEW for 2012.....The Golf Princesses
2012 promises to be an exciting year at The Golf Academy at Padbrook Park. Not only will I be working with my new Golf Idols, I have designed a completely new programme targeted at lady golfers. Specifically new lady golfers to the game.
Allow me to introduce you to my Golf Princesses.......
Kate Weedon and Gemma Abrahams. Kate is Padbrook Park's receptionist along with her friend Gemma.
Both are so excited to be involved with this brand new initiative aimed at making golf fun and enjoyable for budding golf princesses. Both Kate and Gemma want to be able to become good enough at golf to be able to impress on the golf course.....not only in how they play but also in how they look! You should she the outfits they have lined up! Talk about golf fashions! These two are going to make heads turn!
I hope you will be able to follow Kate and Gemma's progress this year and do please keep checking the blog for updates.
Go Golf Princesses!!

The Golf Idol impresses in competition
Simon Vicary continues to show some good form with a recent 37 points in the Pro-Shop Stableford last weekend. Good work Simon, keep it up.
Having the right equipment really does work - just ask Ian White who has had a new set of custom fitted irons and won his first competition with them. Mizuno JPX800 irons and a Cobra Baffler hybrid. Well done Ian and keep on practising!!
Dave Payne, another regular student of mine also had a new set of irons and woods custom fitted and he has just reduced his handicap from 11 to 8. Fantastic!!
On the ladies front, Marion Stevens, a super reduction from 19 to 17 and to Linda Curtis from 36 to30. Well done girls, keep it up!

The Golf Idol, Simon Vicary, has just completed his first ever competition and scored 35 points!! Well done Simon, keep it up.
Simon Vicary - The Golf Idol 2011
Congratulations to SimonVicary, The Golf Idol 2011 on gaining his first ever handicap, 25. Simon is also playing in his first ever club competition today at Padbrook Park. Good luck and keep up the good work!! Simon has been working hard on keeping the club on line through the ball and releasing the club to the target. This has seen him hit the ball alot further and with less spin in his shots. With an improvement to his course management over recent weeks, Simon is well on his way to achieving his goal this year of reaching an 18 handicap.

Glenmuir PGA Professionals Championship
Well, what an event and what weather!! The course was playing superb, but this did not match my golf.....the course was simply too long for me....it seemed every hole I played after finding EVERY fairway from the tee, I had 193 yards left!!! Unfortunately, I missed the cut and had to make the long journey home.....still at least I learnt something.....my driving is good, my putting is good, my approach play is good.....just have to hit it further....
How are you all getting on with your practising....I hope you have been down to the range at Padbrook Park and I hope you have hit the ball well....
For me, a couple of relaxing days off and then back to work....more lessons, more club fitting, seeing pupils improve and welcoming more golfers to fantastic Padbrook Park, Cullompton, Devon
See you all soon....

The Golf Idol Progress
Martyn Cherry, my selected member for The Golf Idol, has been showing amazing signs of improvement this summer. Martyn started out with a 28 handicap last November and has seen his handicap reduced to 21. Martyn has been on a programme of lessons and practice focusing on technique and targets. With a little help with his course management, Martyn has started to see the results of his hard work. He currently leads the Wednesday Night Stableford League table, finished runner-up in the Padbrook Park Club Championship (Nett) and has had numerous other top-10 finishes in club competitons.

The Golf Idol
Welcome to the Golf Idol Blog!!
Golf Idol Blog.
The Golf Idol is a project whereby I take golfer who is struggling with their game and turn them into a decent player in 12 months.
I am in the process at the moment of taking a golfer who last November could not shoot a score below 110 shots for 18 holes of golf.
We overhauled his golf swing and put him onto a programme of practise which he has stuck to throughout the year.We have just had our club championships at Padbrook Park and he finished runner-up!! No mean feat in itself, but considering where he was with his game in November, it is a monumental achievement.
