Belton Park Golf Club:

I joined the PGA in 1965 and I believe I have made a significant contribution to the development of golf tuition over the last 40 years.

I enjoy teaching tremendously and find it the most satisfying part of the whole game.

This enthusiasm was ignited at Belton Park Golf Club in 1966 when I was an assistant to my father and he asked me to give a lesson to one of the members (Mr Toogood if my memory serves me well).

I had played with Mr Toogood several times and believed I knew his problems so prior to the lesson I formulated exactly what to say to him and within minutes of the lesson commencing he improved.

This is great I thought and I still do so 40 years on.

At Belton Park Golf Club I won the Lincolnshire PGA title and the Lincolnshire Alliance Championship.

Two years were spent in Johannesburg, South Africa coaching at a driving range 8am until 10pm -7 days a week.
