Hello golfers, 

I hope this newsletter finds you well. 


Pros news 

A Message from Ben Daniels:

As one of my valued clients, I wanted to get in touch to offer you the first preview of an exciting programme I'm rolling out in January 2016, before I reach out to the rest of the club next week, as I'm only looking to take on five students. 

This intensive program is designed for the golfer who is serious about improving and becoming more skillful and consistent out on the course. If one of your goals for 2016 is to raise your game then this structured programme, along with my guidance and assistance, is foolproof in helping you to achieve your goals. 

So, what will you receive? 

Introducing Ben's 2016 Golf Programme 

- Weekly tuition every month for a year 
- Monthly 5 hole course assessment 
- Access to online swing analysis with CAPTURED, lesson notes, YouTube sharing. 
- We will connect each week to discuss your game and help improve on where your weaknesses lie, with the focus primarily on lowering your scores out on the course. 

Tailored to you and your game, each month we'll set specific goals based on analysis to develop your skills and ability. 

Main Outcomes 

- Improve your score 
- Increase consistency 
- Obtain higher golf education 
- Develop and hone your skills 
- Strengthen your weaknesses 
- Learn to enjoy the sport for what it is 

For you, the cost for this annual programme is only £599.00 (or two six month payments of £350.00). If you're looking to invest more in yourself in 2016, this is a great way to do it! 

Take advantage of this value package now and you'll get an extra month added to the programme for FREE, as we'll begin the course in December. 

Note: *If you have any current outstanding lessons with me and wish to join this programme the balance will be deducted from the annual fee*

Please note, for you to get the full advantages of this programme it will take commitment, so please consider whether you can meet the demands of the programme. I believe the overriding reason for the success of this programme is the commitment from both parties.

Of course, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch. 

Come and have a chat with us in the pro shop if you are interested, or click here to get in touch.

With Best Wishes, 

Ben Daniels

Club news 

Summer Plate Final 

The Plate final was played last Saturday between Phil Rhodes and Neil Tunbridge. A very tight and good humoured match was eventually won by Neil on the 17th. 

The weather conditions were rather damp and the course playing very long off white tee positions. 

Well played gents!


Refurbishment of the Foyer Toilets 

Work is underway on the toilets in the foyer. These will be out of action for approximately 2 weeks so apologies for any inconvenience caused. 


London Golf Show Update 

As previously mentioned in an earlier newsletter, Bletchingley Golf Club had a stall at the show for the 3 days. It was extremely productive and we met many people who live mainly in Surrey, Kent and Essex. I believe it proved to be a worthwhile exercise and something we will be looking at again next year. 

For any of you who have not attended before it is something that shouldn't be missed.
