"It was my first time and I wasn’t sure about how valuable the sessions would be but the coach was brilliant. As an amateur it’s always a little scary playing for the first time but the training was designed to help everyone no matter how good they were"
Adam Magson, 1st year Sports and Exercise Studies Student on Pay as you Play Golf
