‘I have been having lessons with Mark Trow for a year now, during which time my game has improved from hacking around once a year to now playing with a handicap of 16. To be able to have access to great facilities such as the pitching area, in addition to the usual driving and putting areas, makes learning the game a more rounded experience. The technology to analyse ball speed, club speed and swing technique feels very professional, but the best part of my learning is the individual lessons. I can’t think of any other teachers, tutors, mentors, or coaches in my life whose lessons have been so clear and positive, and left me knowing exactly what I have to do to improve.’

Mark Bodenham, Kent
