  The shop is modern, well laid out and very well stocked. The products on offer are pretty much everything you need and the the staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and leave you to browse at your own pleasure. After visiting the shop and talking to Neale I decided to book a lesson... I hate being told what to do and for me it's even worse when having your faults pointed out. I've had 1 or 2 lessons before from other places and always walked away feeling a little deflated and almost conned, so I went into the 1st session with a pessimistic expectation of my experience. I can't tell you how wrong I was. Neale has a rare quality in his instruction where he allows you to feed off his passion for all the abilities he has learnt to master for himself. Instead of it being the usual Grip, posture, alignment etc that you expect to be drip fed in order to extract the most amount of money from you, Neale delivers his lesson in a very simple, easy to follow engaging way. I'm not ashamed to say I'm 32, self taught and my average score was around the 100 - 105 mark. My first round after I began my lessons I shot a 93 and felt like I wasn't even ready to play as my swing is still in the process of being built. Thanks to Neale I have a very comprehensive understanding of the mechanics of the swing, d-plane ect and it's all down to his tuition and willingness to educate. I'm also proud to say that I'm now starting to hit a draw as a result of my 4th lesson... This for me always seemed to be unachievable for someone of my ability. Yet, after 4 lessons I now know the requirements to achieve the holy grail of ball flights. I can't recommend enough that you pop in and have a chat. I'm not the fastest when it comes to learning new skills yet his patience and ability to keep me encouraged means that regardless of your level of skill I'm positive you'll go away a better more knowledgeable player. It's the best thing I've ever invested my time and money in and I shall continue to do so. Thanks, -Tom-
