Foxhills, with its two excellent championship golf courses, luxurious hotel and health spa was the venue for our latest reassessment.

Armed with brand new golf shoes featuring custom-moulded insoles to further improve my bio-mechanics, I hoped to show off the improvements I had made since the last session.

Following a debrief with Simon Holmes and JJ Rivet we used the About Golf technology and the impressive new range facility to assess the improved swing. After a quick demonstration and a couple of ‘decent’ strikes, Simon and JJ confirmed that although there had been significant improvements since I started this journey, many of my swing mechanics still needed further tweaks and adjustments... The positions I was getting into were down to both physical limitations and a lack of knowledge – reinforcing the programme’s importance in concentrating on not only the coaching element but the physical aspect, too.

On Saturday 6th August Nick carried out the third stage of The Ultimate Tuition Break. Here is his account of his experiences at St Omer...

Having spent the last month since The London Club trying to accurately retain the knowledge imparted and diligently follow the drills supplied by Simon Holmes and JJ Rivet, I felt quietly confident that my swing had started to take shape. The personalised exercise program had started to pay dividends in that my initial physical restrictions had began to be removed and I was able to get in the positions that Simon and JJ were trying to get me into.

We arrived at what must be the premier golfing venue in France, St Omer, and had the opportunity to test the course prior to the reassessments the next day.  Having recently staged a European Tour event we knew that we would have our games severely tested.

The golf course at St Omer is very challenging with numerous changes in elevation, though it is very fair from the tee. Club selection is tested throughout the round with every club in your bag in play. The greens were large, a nice pace and with lots of very tricky putts you will need to putt well to put a score together. More...

After hearing from Chris about the first part of the Tour Fit For Golf Programme, here is Nick's run down of his experience on the next stage at The London Club... 

So with a sense of achievement of having eliminated a sway from my swing and incorporating a ‘proper’ turn I arrived at another premier Golfbreaks.com venue - The London Club for my first reassessment. 

Since the initial assessment at Celtic Manor I had received my personalised exercise program and thrown myself head first into improving my flexibility as well as diligently following the drill provided by Simon Holmes which saw me tethered to the ground, by a bit of equipment called the Power Hip Rotator, hitting countless balls on the range much to the amusement of my friends and colleagues at my home club.
