Having first joined Mark on his French trip 5 years earlier, we jumped at the chance to travel and play golf once again! On and around the course, Mark is an outstanding golf coach, being able to apply his teaching techniques across the whole group, regardless of ability or age – making everything relevant to follow and apply. Off the course, Mark’s trips are simply FUN, everyone we have been fortunate to meet has been fantastic company and a pleasure to spend time with – a little daunting when you are the “newbies…”, which was dispelled immediately amongst this company. The trip and golf were even better second time around, was that possible? Yes - Mark respects everyone’s needs, listens, and acts on feedback, striving to make every trip better than the last – FUN is the prerequisite. We are already signed up for France next year!

 "I Just wanted to thank you again for arranging such a wonderful week at the Penina Hotel. The effort and organisation you put in was truley amazing and greatly appreciated. I thought what we did for the price was unbelievable. I loved the teaching and the opportunity to play on a "big boys" golf course - never to be forgotten, and to have buggies was fantastic. I learned such a lot and only hope I can put it to good use. The hotel was great. Fantastic restaurants and lovely fellow participants. But best of all your presence."  Tony Yates-Watson

“The coaching trip was extremely well organised; the materials sent out in advance contained all the information we needed and the mixed ability of the group didn't impact on my enjoyment of the golf. The combination of lessons on the driving range and the session on the short game were well timed and the informal discussion on rules was really useful – I believe everyone learned something new and you helped clear up questions that we all had. As one of the least experienced golfers in the group, I felt very welcomed and would certainly recommend the SGGA Coaching Trip to both novice and experienced players. You managed to give everyone some dedicated time with a focus on how we can improve our game and your style of teaching is both encouraging and effective. Although the trip was based around a competition, this should not deter any future participants who might feel intimidated by this aspect because it just encouraged everyone to play better. The social aspects of the trip were equally fun and it was a great opportunity to get to know other golfers from the Club. Thank you for organising a great trip.  I look forward to the next one!"
