The SD Junior Long Drive Championship, hosted by junior club legend Stephen, created it's usual mix of excitement, power and camaraderie.
The 10 powerhouses of the junior section competed against each other through qualifying rounds, group stages and then 2 finals. The junior elite section was a closely contested affair with all 5 qualifiers knocking it past 230 yards. Connor came agonisingly close to making the final but his 274 yard drive fell just 1 yard short of the qualifying mark.
Former Surrey junior Order of Merit Champion, Jamie, was first up in the final and his longest drive throughout the contest of 284 yards was an impressive display. However, new kid on the block, Aaron, used his raw talent and athleticism to boom out a 285 yard high draw with the final shot of the contest to take gold this year!
In the Junior Challengers contest there were some personal bests with Adah hitting 147 yards and Owen's 185 yarder taking him to the final against one of the pre tournament favourites Caitlin. Caitlin took the honours, repeatedly hitting over the 180 yard mark with a display that will give her huge confidence for the season ahead.
Thank you for all the energy and support from the players and parents alike, with a special thank you to Team Doherty for putting up the prizes.
It was great to get Daniel in before his weekend golf trip! He was striking his irons well but wanted to fix his slicing off the tee. A few adjustments; wider stance, more weight in his trail foot, and increased shoulder tilt. These small changes helped him hit up on the ball, eliminate the slice, and even shape a few draws.
Got a trip coming up? A specific goal for the season? Or just tired of fighting a pesky slice? Book a session and let’s get your game dialed in! ⛳
Sigrid came in for a lesson, looking to add some distance to her drives. With a few key adjustments, namely more body rotation in the backswing and a stronger, more balanced follow-through, she gained an extra 20 yards off the tee! 🚀🔥
It’s amazing what a few tweaks can do, and I can’t wait to see how far she’s hitting it when the season starts.
If you want to add some serious distance before your first competitive rounds of the year, now’s the time to get to work! Book a session and let’s unlock more power (and more confidence) in your game. ⛳💪

It was great to see over 50 festive golfers attend the group coaching end of year events to celebrate what has been an amazing year for the Wednesday & Saturday groups.
The men just pipped the women to retain the Clive Reed Trophy on Wednesday with the team of Fiona, Grace & Helen winning the Saturday Scramble!
Congratulations to the Players of the Year, Josie, Liz & John as well as most improved Gloria, Lan Anh & Lindsay not to mention all the other prizewinners!
