Hi Andrew,

 

Peter Hartley here, how are you doing?

 

Just a quickie really. I wanted to let you know about my progress since my club fitting with you in June this year. Having taken on board your comments to not play for 2 weeks after fitting - i.e. to "club" myself - the first ball I hit with them was in a midweek medal ! (time constraints and all that..) Anyway, I played to my handicap, despite a few iffy shots and managed to get it round.

 

Since then, all I can say is the improvement has been phenomenal. Again, due to time constraints, I've had to find my new distances on the course, but once I got used to the clubs, convinced myself that I don't need to muller the ball any more, my distance and accuracy has improved by a massive degree. Although I had got down to 12, I wasn't playing to it and hadn't for about 4 or 5 years. Now I have had a medal win (80, nett 68) and a couple of 3rds and 4ths. Plus a couple of general play 78's and a front nine 36, it adds up to 7 or 8 rounds comfortably on or below handicap..(down to 11.5 from 11.9) My biggest surprise is the massive distance increase. 7 irons are now flying 160-165 yards. I'm now hitting wedges from where I was previously hitting eight irons (everything you said, really!). My golf colleagues can't believe the difference and it all adds up to greater confidence. You wouldn't believe how many greens I flew long in first 3-4 weeks until I learned to trust the clubs..

 

Many thanks again, you've helped a tired, fed up golfer get a real buzz from the game again.

 

Cheers

 

Peter
