Please find some comments from the boys after the training day with David Leadbetter:
Dear David
James really enjoyed the day with David Leadbetter and has asked me to say the following:
Thanks for helping me with my swing, helped me to stop the SHANKS!! I am going to work on the stretches David showed me. Also my swing and my hips turning to get more power through the ball. It was a really good opportunity for me and will help me a lot to develop my game.

Hi David,
Thank you very much for a brilliant day. I learnt so much by having a lesson by one of the best coaches in the world. I have come away from the training session this morning with a positive attitude as my ball striking was good but has become excellent. Thanks again and many thanks to the county for organising the event.

Hi David,
Thank you for today David and thank you for selecting me for David Leadbetter.
I really enjoyed today and learnt a great deal, it was very interesting to see me on camera and note some for me errors within my set up. David made a real impact and has improved my swing speed, posture and correct my weight /alignment, it may take a little time to get used to it but I will.
This was a once in a life time experience, I have seen DVD's by David but to be in them and be coached by him has made my year.
Once again thank you
Kind regards
Joshua (Strudwick)
Hi Dave
Thanks so much for today's lesson at East Sussex National, I had a great day and really enjoyed meeting David leadbetter, his help with my swing is going to be great I am really going to work hard until I get it perfect. I feel more confidant with my game lately and with his help today I am defiantly going to move forward again, I only wish he was in our country more as I would go and see him, he has a way of explaining the swing and game that makes it easy to understand. Dave I'm going to have a great year and career in golf I can feel it. I am now off to Worthing to try my new swing, not a lot of changes but will practice what I have been taught until it works automatically without having to think about it. Thanks again for another great day.
Best Regards
Terry Green.
Hi David,
Thank you very much for the amazing day today, I thoroughly enjoyed it and took everything I have learnt on board. David has showed me how to correct my tendency of cutting across the ball; this is due to my steep backswing. As soon as I got back home I went up the range to work on it. By the end I the day I have started to correct the fault and I intend on fully correcting it in the next few days. Here are the things I learnt. At the top of the backswing my left arm should be across my chest, start the downswing with the movement of the hips, the downswing should go in to out preventing the slice.
Kind regards

Dear Wicksy,
Here are my thoughts on what I learnt from David Leadbetter:
We firstly talked about shaping shots and how to control the amount of movement on the ball. I managed to find my own way of controlling my shot shape and we also talked about the feel of each shot. I then had my swing filmed and Mr. Leadbetter gave me two swing thoughts: firstly to feel lower to the ground at address, secondly to rotate/open the club face while feeling layed-off at the top of my swing. These two swing thoughts helped me to keep my face square at impact and also to gain distance. I therefore gained a lot from David in terms of my swing and my long game.
I also had a chance to discuss with David some mental concepts which applied to golf more generally. We talked about precision in picking where you are aiming and commitment to each shot. I learnt how changing my pre-shot routine affected my shots and why a neutral state of mind is the best golfing mind-set. I therefore gained a huge amount from this coaching day and look forward to the next one.
I am really looking forwards to the Blakes match - we've got this one in the bag! :)
See you soon,
Max
Hi Dave
Firstly I'd like to thank you for the oppurtunity of meeting David Leadbetter. It was a great day and I really enjoyed it. He gave me some great advice on my swing which I took home with me and look foward to working on with Keith. In particular he told me to swing it more upright. Out on the range today before my round it felt alot more natural and worked well on the course. Once again Dave may I take this oppurtunity to thank you for this great experience and a good memory I will keep for a long time. Thanks for all your hard work.
Kind Regards
George
