E:14/03 Golf lessons for the worst golfer in Hertfordshire

button.jpghit the button

Are you the worst golfer in hertfordshire?


The boys are here to help you The search is on to find the biggest hacker in Hertfordshire.


https://www.hertsad24.co.uk, in association with Redbourn Golf Club, is launching a search to find Herts’ Worst Golfer.

We need your help to nominate the county’s biggest hacker – and give them the professional help they need, including a year’s worth of free golf lessons.

Do you know someone, male or female, who spends their life searching for balls in the rough, has never made a birdie or just putts like a complete and utter numpty?

Nominate your friends and family and a group of lucky winners – or losers – will qualify for our special X-Factor style audition at Redbourn Golf Club’s driving range and teaching academy.

There, our three judges, including head professional Steve Hunter, will scrutinise swings, give hints and tips and find out whose golf needs to be thrown a lifeline.

Launching the county-wide search, Steve Hunter said: “I’ve seen some awful golf swings in my time, including one chap whose flailing action looked more like an octopus falling out of a tree.

“I’ve seen golfers hit the ball sideways between their legs and accidentally let go of their club, flinging it 50 yards down the driving range. One man I was playing with even toe-ended his drive through the open window of a car.

Steve continued: “However, new and regular golfers who want to improve can do so, if they are prepared to put some practice in. I gave some beginner lessons to a young boy who, on his first round on our short course, completely missed the ball with his first swing, and then holed-in-one with his second. He was thrilled.

“I’ve also seen players, who were apparently hopeless at the start, progress from the driving range to the short course to playing on the main 18-hole course and then winning their first competitions. So I have no doubt we can make Herts’ Worst Golfer a better golfer – and that’s the goal of this competition.”

If you think you know someone who should be nominated for Herts Worst Golfer, simply fill in the form below.

All short-listed golfers will all receive a group coaching session at Redbourn Golf Club, with the ultimate winner receiving one lesson per month for a year.

We’ll follow the winner’s progress and catch up with them later this year to see how they’ve got on.
