I have tried to sum up the first 4 months of 2011 below.
Where do I start?
Golf Tuition Breaks
2011 has already been a busy time for GTB, so far I have visited Dubai, Iran, Morocco, South Africa and Wales......and in 2 weeks I shall we competing in the Sawgrass Pro Am in Florida!!
What do we offer?
We have created this brand to offer 'play with the pro' golf experiences in luxurious locations. In addition to playing golf with the pro it will be possible to learn better technique as there will be time set aside for golf coaching on a daily basis. The coaching is all incorporated in the holiday price and there will be no extra cost, resulting in a truly great golf tuition break.
We can also tailor a golf tuition break to your exact requirements, please use the contact us page and provide us with full details and we will do our utmost to provide the service you desire.
We offer tuition holidays and mini breaks to luxurious destinations all over the world (USA, South Africa, Dubai, Morocco, Egypt, Portugal and Spain etc), join us for some winter sun or experience some incredible UK based courses on our mini breaks (including; Celtic Manor 2010, The Belfry - Brabazon, etc).

Whilst in Celtic Manor earlier this week, Adrian managed to have a breakfast coffee with Colin Montgomerie, now that doesn't happen every day! In their brief conversation they discussed dealing with nerves under pressure and the Ryder Cup.

The North London Golf Academy (NLGA) moved to David Lloyd Sudbury Hill after nearly two years at Kodak Sports Ground. My business partner Adrian did a great job getting the academy off the ground in 2009 and we are now really enjoying the challenge of growing the business into 2011 and beyond.
We spent ten days transforming the old day nursery into our state of the art golf academy. I personally built the 2 Sports Coach systems with help and guidance from our supplier. Learning how all aspects of a golf academy is put together was an amazing experience and one I shall never forget.
Recent additions, last week Adrian, Giulio and I started work on the short game area, digging the bunker and building the 4 foot lip to shape it with. The bunker is now open and ready for use. Over the coming weeks the area will really take shape, we cant wait to share it with our clients.
Lesson Offer - We are currently offering a FREE 20 minute golf lesson to all David Lloyd Sudbury Hill members and your first 20 minute lesson for £10 to all.
Why choose our academy:
Enthusiastic PGA Qualified staff, We strive on personal service to you the client, Very competitive prices, Good weather guaranteed (Indoor and outdoor facilities), 3 top of the range golf simulators (2 x Sports Coach Golf Simulators), Record your golf swing on USB stick FREE OF CHARGE, Short game area exclusive for lessons and not open to the public, We use the latest technology for swing and putting analysis (CSwing and Tomi), Repairs workshop, FREE parking, Small class sizes for junior golf talent development and Golf tuition break trips organised.
You don't get many chances to visit countries like Iran, earlier this year I had the privilege of installing a Sports Coach golf simulator in one of my clients houses. A big thanks goes out to Sepehr for having us! and also to Az who travelled with me and helped create a wonderful practice/play/coaching studio. On route to Tehran we spent 3 days in Dubai playing some golf and meeting new faces, we played Fire, the Els club and the Earth course....what an incredible place to play golf. truly out of this world. Whilst we were there we also managed to watch the 2nd round of the Dubai Classic, we followed the Woods, Westwood and Kaymer pairing, it was amazing.
Thank you for sharing my year so far, I have enjoyed reliving the memories of the above whilst writing this.
