Stuart Disney and Josh Hirst, Mendip’s Professional Coaching Team, continue to provide an excellent service to Mendip’s Members and to the wider community.

Group coaching is being provided to Seniors and to the Ladies’ section in addition to the individual coaching that has been a feature since Stuart and Suzanne arrived at Mendip in May 2017.

The ‘Get into Golf’ lessons, open to all, have proved popular with those taking up the game. One Senior member, who only wishes to enjoy his social golf, said: “I recently undertook four lessons with Josh Hirst. They were excellent in all aspects and even revision notes were supplied – Josh was entertaining and instructive and treated low handicappers and duffers like me in a most encouraging way. I thought the lessons were very good value.”

Josh and Stuart are also out and about in the Community, with a special emphasis in providing opportunities for youngsters. The schools coaching programme now sees weekly sessions at Bruton Primary, Oakhill Primary and, more recently, agreement has been reached to provide weekly sessions, in two groups, for Wells Blue School.

In addition, weekly sessions are taking place at the Mendip School, based at the Bath and West Showground; this is a school for pupils with Special Educational Needs. In all, it is estimated that approximately sixty pupils will be receiving coaching from September onwards.
