Well, I can't quite believe that this was my sixth Sarah Bennett Golf School at the lovely resort of Islantilla in Spain with each year the question being the same, "When are you holding another one" which incidentally will be March & October 2015. From the moment we arrive at the complex the service is second to none with the friendly nature and efficient service apparent from the front desk staff, club storage chaps right through to Management which continues throughout the duration of your stay.

Having just returned from the 2014 Golf Show at Harrogate, I thought I would share a few in sights as to the importance of my attendance as a PGA Professional for my clients, members and own self development.

Having attended a Ryder Cup and more recently the 2011 Solheim Cup in Killeen Castle the fist tee is the place to be and certainly worth setting that early morning call for, It is the perfect spot where the word "singing" takes on a new meaning!

Do you know what and how to practice your putting?

This blog will provide you with a skill test whilst practicing your putting distance control which I like to coach my clients.

Sarah Bennett Getting Ladies into Golf
