St Andrew's Day Trophy Review
The last trophy event of the year was played on Sunday. In windy conditions no-one was able to break the 40 points barrier with four pairs eventually tied on 39 points. Congratulations go to John and Sam Stedman who took the trophy courtesy of a strong back nine performance which clinched the count back. (A full leaderboard is posted on intelligent golf).

Testimonial from Marina Bobeldijk – Lessons With James
“In April 2011, I signed up with the Performance Center and I could never have imagined what good value for money that investment was going to be! Through the Performance Center, I have had the opportunity to get some great tuition from our Director of Golf, James Cornish.


James has provided me with some fantastic help around the greens, with great chipping advice, pitching and especially great tips for bunker play. The putting lesson with James transformed my putting stats throughout the season. His calm and deliberate approach to putting and the rest of the game has really had an impact on my own game. James has also helped me with the fundamentals of the game, like the posture and alignment. My driver has never worked as well as it has after my lesson with James this year.


Following my tuition, I have had some fantastic rounds of golf; I broke 80 for the first time at Littlestone, by scoring 6 over gross, had numerous wins in the Kent scratch matches and cut my handicap several times to reach the lowest ever handicap of 10.7.


I will certainly go on having lessons with James!”

Christmas is fast approaching and we are already 80% full on our Christmas party evenings. We have some space available on the 17th so if you and your friends, work colleagues or family want to come along to join the festivities then please call Kim Weller. The price is £32 per person for a three course Christmas meal and disco.


Sunday Lunch for December
We are slightly changing our Sunday Lunch for December. On Dec 4th we will be having carol singers to accompany your lunch and there will be a festive element to the food. Our Sunday Lunches are extremely popular and we are already taking bookings. Please call today to avoid disappointment. Again please call Kim or Mark to book.

Children in Need
Next week, we are holding our annual Children in Need Day. We are full for teams, but would love additional raffle or auction prizes to sell for the charity. The prizes so far are mostly vouchers to play other clubs so we really need some more unusual prizes to tempt our generous competitors. Of course you too can buy raffle tickets from Carrie.
So far we have vouchers to play Cinque Ports, Princess, Littlestone, Foxhills, Red Libbets, The Addington and Wentworth and a few others besides. Please support us to support this charity and see what you can do.

Golf Assessment Test
A series of observed skill challenges to build up a percentage score for each golfing discipline that can be used to not only test your abilities under scoring pressure but also build up a clear indication of what areas of your game are good or otherwise and require further work! You will then have this test to use at your own leisure. I will compile the results in a spreadsheet that will be emailed over to you, this can be used as a template to compile your own results in the future and compare previous scores. The golf assessment test is something I have designed myself and has started to create very positive results with several clients. I believe this can be a clearer indicator of your current game than just on course stats or individual scores in isolation.

The test lasts approximately 1 hour and the cost is £50 for members. Click here. to book your assessment test.
