I recently had the opportunity to take a lesson with our new golf coach, Heather and was very impressed with her knowledge and teaching ability.She was able to clearly identify areas for improvement in my swing and provided effective drills to address them. I believe her expertise is a significant benefit to members of Burgham Golf Club looking to develop their game.

I've been attending the Burgham Ladies Section group lessons with our golf pro, Heather Smith, over the last few weeks and have found them to be extremely informative, confidence building as well as encouraging regardless of your standard of golf.
Heather has such an easy and relaxed teaching style, which really helps you understand her key points without them being too technical, which has been an absolute must for me. I've personally found her help and support invaluable and will be looking to book further individual lessons over the coming weeks.

I highly recommend Heather. Her easy to understand instructions and friendly manner made the sessions constructive and enjoyable. I have to been prone to watching the dreaded YouTube golf tips however I learned much more in a few lessons with Heather
