Paul Ludlow storms to win November Weekend medal
Paul started to have lessons with Max around three weeks ago. In that time they have spent a lot of time working on his swing path and using our FlightScope launch monitor to back up his out-to-in swing path. After spending some time working on this Max managed to help Paul get his swing path travelling more in-to-out and increased his club head speed, this resulted in Paul gaining an extra 20yds with his 7iron!
Max and Paul have both seen a massive improvement in Paul's golf and managed to win this month's weekend medal with a nett 54! Winning by 5 shots!! Congratulations Paul, keep up the good work!

November Weekend Medal Results
Saturday, 21 November was the day of this weeks monthly medal and plenty turned up to battle the wind in order to win the competition. David Houseman was first in with a superb nett 59 and must've felt like he had it won. He would've won this month if it wasn't for a superb nett 54 by Paul Ludlow to take the crown! Paul is currently having lessons with our PGA Assistant Max Brackley and clearly the lessons are paying off.
Congratulations to Paul, David and to all those that played. Thank you for your continued support.
