A huge thank you… There is only one way I can begin my first newsletter, and that’s with a huge debt of gratitude to everyone who has helped me in my career development that sees me as Head PGA Advanced Professional at Lee-On-The-Solent Golf Club. I began my role on the 29th September, which was two days earlier than first expected and the dilemma being that I had a Ryder Cup ticket. Should I go and watch this dream golf event or begin my role? Absolutely no question! I would forgo my Ryder Cup attendance and begin my wonderful journey in a role I’ve worked so hard to secure, my ticket remains lovely keepsake. The picture below is my first day - such a poignant image at 6am and the dawn of a new era. Armed with drinks, sweets, a few balls, some gloves and accessories I’d borrowed from my good friend and fellow PGA Advanced Club Professional, Malcolm Scott. I was ready to take on the world! Now nearly 6 months on, with a lot of hard work and many hours of setting up, our professional shop is fully stocked and ready for the season ahead, that first picture seems a lifetime away.

A few notable thanks go to all our members for all your support and help during this period, I am so grateful for all your kind words and for welcoming me to Lee-On-The-Solent. Malcolm Scott, club professional at Alresford for 38 years, has been a massive help and invaluable support and guide to me. To my existing clients, thank you for following me to Lee to maintain your golf lessons, I look forward to our continued success. My team of Terry and Nathan for your continued hard work and dedication. The funny thing is, Terry who has worked as part of the professional team here at Lee-on the Solent for 8 years, was late on our first day - I remind him of this often. Terry along with Nathan, are an asset to our team. To my family for your support always, I’m so grateful and could never have progressed this far without you. Finally, and so so important, my gorgeous young lady Cheryl; my rock, my guide and at many times my boss. I know many of you have met Cheryl and thank you for welcoming us both.
Many thanks to you all! |

From strength to strength… Our Junior section is growing really well with the group and individual tuition really well attended. At the Saturday and Sunday coaching groups and half term camps, we really are seeing our juniors of all ages progress. Using the practice ground, short game areas, putting green and fantastic Community Course, our Juniors are learning the skills to enjoy this wonderful life sport. Our 6 hole Adult/Junior Texas Pairs has seen the children be introduced to the Championship course, meeting new friends, having fun and eating us out of chips in the clubhouse after. Watch our Facebook posts and emails for details of Easter camp that will be out soon. For details of playing the community course in your own time, lessons and completions please call the professional shop on 02392 551170 for more details.
