Dear all Ross-on-Wye members,
I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this place, I've settled in so well even though I did miss my connected flight. I've already learnt that I can have unlimited refills everywhere and that the women love my accent.
Two weeks ago on a blisteringly hot Saturday team THSG and the junior section got involved in the Ross on Wye carnival. It was a great event which allowed us to showcase what the club offers too thousands of the people in the local area.
Kate & Josh Bibby are now back with us after a successful trip at the US Kids World championships at the Pinehurst resort in USA.

Some fantastic success stories this week coming from the THSG from all around the county!! Our new K Vest 3D system has been well used over the past few months at the THSG. This in-depth analysis helps us understand the intricate movements of the body during the golf swing, movements that the human eye cant pick up on.
This analysis has helped Ian Caves reduce his handicap down to an all time low. Ian has been going through a rich vein of form following a K Vest lesson which has seen him reduce his handicap from 13 to 9.
Many other THSG pupils have enjoyed the in depth analysis which K Vest gives, it has helped change patterns in their swing that are long lasting and not just quick fixes.
This technology is widely used on tour by many of the top players. If you would like to find out more than please ask one of the team.
Above is a video of THSG pupil and county player Cam Haines using the biofeedback part of the analysis. Here Cam is training a better backswing with more hip rotation, to help efficiency and power in his golf swing.
Jan Armstrong has also had an awesome time of late with her golf. She was crowned Herefordshire county champion in June, finished 2nd with Hannah Whibley in the daily mail foursomes and then won this months medal……keep it up Jan!!
If you would like to talk to one of the team about your game then please feel free to get in contact Tim tim@timhallschoolofgolf.co.uk
