A New Chapter Begins
April marks the launch of our new academy programme — and it’s one I’m incredibly excited about.
We’re now fully back outdoors at MHGC, which means we can shift our focus to what really matters: performance on the golf course.
Junior Performance Academies (Tuesdays)
These sessions are designed to develop golfers the right way — with a strong emphasis on lowering scores and building real-game confidence.
Each session includes:
- On-course scenarios
- Skill testing
- Shot selection and decision-making
- Competitive games and challenges
Junior Saturday Academies
This is our flagship academy programme, and this year marks a huge milestone — 10 years of Junior Academies.
That’s nearly 120 months of continuous coaching… where has the time gone?
Adult Academies (Wednesdays)
- Ladies: 5:30pm – 7:00pm
- Men: 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Structured sessions designed to improve every area of your game:
- Short game stations
- Full swing development
- Pressure-based games
- On-course playing scenarios
For Everyone
The message is simple:
These academies are for everyone.
Whether you’re picking up a club for the first time or looking to sharpen your competitive edge, there’s always room to improve. And doing that in a structured, fun, and competitive environment is one of the most effective ways to progress.
MHGC members are strongly encouraged to get involved — this isn’t just practice…
It’s purposeful improvement.
Progress, Progress, Progress
It’s been a hugely rewarding month on the coaching front.
The diary has been packed, and I’ve loved getting back to doing more of what I enjoy most — helping players improve.
What’s been especially pleasing is the quality of progress. Players aren’t just hitting better shots — they’re starting to understand why.
With the move outdoors, we’re now able to focus more on:
- Short game scoring
- On-course management
- Real performance situations
FL Player of the Month
Congratulations to Alistair Singer.
Alistair joined us last year as a complete beginner and committed fully to the academy programme over winter on the Improver plan.
The transformation has been incredible.
From someone just starting out to now striking the ball with confidence and understanding his game — he’s a perfect example of what consistency and structure can achieve.
