The England experience is back!

Posted on 20/06/09. By Lynne Fraser

Following the success of the inaugural England Experience held earlier this year the English Golf Union (EGU) is pleased to announce an additional two dates. Once again the EGU are offering a unique opportunity for golfers to experience the coaching programme offered to England's top amateur players.

The first England Experience, which took place earlier this year at the National Golf Centre, Woodhall Spa, proved to be a fantastic success. Eleven, diverse golfers took part in three days of highly skilled coaching, learning how to develop and improve all aspects of their game. The feedback from the event was extremely positive and the integrated approach between all four coaches worked extremely well, considerably enhancing the three day experience. Individually, all the golfers were able to improve on their weaknesses and make significant and valuable changes to the way they approach and engage in the game.

The outstanding coaching team comprises of four top England coaches, Gary Smith, David Ridley, both Golf Monthly Top 25 UK Coaches, Dr. Brian Hemmings and Andy Larmour, all of whom have worked with and taken players such as Richard Finch, Ollie Fisher, Ross McGowan, Chris Wood, Ross Fisher, Dave Horsey and many more onto success on the professional circuits.

Gary Smith (photo courtesy of Tom Ward), Lead Coach of the England Squad commented, "This is such a unique opportunity to experience exactly what England's top amateurs experience and have access to the coaching and knowledge only usually available to those at the top of their sport. Most players turn professional after following the EGU's England programme; we can't guarantee that result but we can guarantee the same guidance already provided to names such as Oliver Fisher, Chris Wood and Richard Finch."

The exclusive experience includes behind the scenes coaching of what goes into training a top amateur and in turn professional players, including short game and swing technique, psychology and conditioning. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity for any golfer to experience the same professional expertise as the England Teams.
