TESTIMONIALS
I started taking golf lessons with Keith at the start of August this year. These were the first golf lessons that I have ever taken. I first contacted Keith and explained that I had no prior lessons and I always found it hard to break 100. I'm 33 years old and I have been playing golf on and off for 4 years, nothing serious, but now I really wanted to get into it and get competent at the game. On the first lesson it was obvious to Keith what my bad habits were, tips that I had picked up from other players who have had no lessons. Keith's style of coaching and education into the mechanics of golf made me realise the importance of posture, swing, the address position and much more. Lesson after lesson I found myself getting better in a time frame that I couldn't have imagined. I initially started the lessons to break 100, so having successfully achieved that in a short space of time my goal turned to breaking 90, I achieved that result and now I am aiming to break 80! Put it like this - the day before my first lesson with Keith (3rd Aug 2010), I played the front 9 holes at my local course and got a score of 56 (par35). Just this weekend (26th Sep 2010) - I played the same front 9 holes and got a 41. That's 15 shots saved for 9 holes in the space of 8 weeks. I think that says a lot for the instructor. I would wholly recommend Keith to anyone of any handicap. His whole approach transforms what you think of the game into something that you fully understand and he makes it easily enjoyable. My 8 lessons are completed now, but I certainly will be back to Keith for improvement lessons. I am aiming to get a good handicap within the next year, and I have no doubt that with Keith instruction I will achieve my goals.

I began golf at around 13 years old and have now been playing for 4 years. I started with my dad playing at Brooklands (pitch and putt) and later moved to Hill Barn. Keith started at Hill Barn about 1 year after my arrival there. I immediately started having lessons with Keith when my handicap was 11 but i was struggling to break 90.Keith began going through with me the basic techniques including posture, grip, alignment and the way the body moves. It all sounds so difficult but Keith's style of coaching is simple and easy to understand. he is clear and makes sure everyone understands what they need to practice. He cares deeply about all his pupils golf and their progression and has helped all the golfers he has work with due to his commitment, organisation and passion. Without Keith's coaching i would be still be stuck at high single figures but now play off 4. Also there would be no Hill Barn junior section without his hard work. I would recommend him to any golfer (whatever level they are at)

When I thought about having some lessons with Keith i was unsure what to think, as i've had a few before with a different company/ coach which really didn't go down that well, this was because they went into so much detail on the first visit, which kind of put me off having lessons again.. However this was not the case when i met Keith, we spoke about what we were aiming to do in the lessons proceeding and this already sounded better and easier to take in. In the lessons to follow we went through many different stages, including the use of the Core, setup, swing, positioning, routine ect.. it sounds a lot to take in but trust me its not.. this is due to the nature of the teaching, Keith takes you through it step by step making sure you know exactly what is going on and wont move on until he is sure you understand it, there is also a really good atmosphere, you feel like you can have a laugh and enjoy yourself but at the same time getting down to the business of teaching. To prove it works my handicap has already been cut and this is only after a few lessons, i would definitely recommend him to others and infact i have done.

I have been playing golf for several years and struggled to get my handicap to 18. I had lessons with several club pros which only seemed to confuse me and ended up being more destructive than constructive. A friend of mine then started to see Keith and recommended that I go and see him. I was very sceptical and declined. Then after only a few weeks I realised that I was losing money every round of golf I played and after 6 months his handicap had dropped by 6. Needless to say I booked some lessons. I’ve now had five lessons with Keith and have already dropped three shots. More importantly I’m now winning some of my money back and enjoying my golf so much more. I cannot recommend Keith enough. Several friends have now had lessons with him and he is now just known affectionately by us as ‘the Guru’. If you want to play better golf go see ‘the Guru’

Three years ago my 10 year old son Joseph became interested in golf. After a year of lessons with various very capable teachers we discovered Keith Renwick at Hill Barn and his embryonic Juniors section. Under Keith’s tutelage Joe entered and won the Sussex Golf Union Tigger tour in his first season, 2008.Following steady improvement through regular lessons in 2009 Joe yesterday won the Sussex under 14’s Championship. I was not a golfer 3 years ago either but took the game up along with Joe and my younger son William. From a combination of lessons myself and absorbing my sons lesson I am now playing off 12 and thoroughly enjoying the challenge of the game at the camaraderie of a great club and Keith’s teaching ethic. With regard to the junior section, all boys are given a great opportunity to play tournaments and represent the club no matter what their ability all that Keith asks is practise and enthusiasm. My only regret is that we didn’t start our golf and find Keith earlier. Andrew Setten - 15/04/10
As a former 22 handicapper only going in the wrong direction, it took hitting rock bottom on a golf tour for me to take remedial action. I had taken afew lessons over the years with different club pro’s which had given me a temporary fix but never really enjoyed the lessons so didn’t continue. I was therefore reluctant to have further lessons. However Keith was recommended to me by others on the same golf tour who had also suffered similar pain and had seen their handicap drop dramatically. I therefore booked a course of 5 lessons. The results were instantaneous. I won my first competition within a month, dropped 5 shots within four months and have dropped further in the last two months. The money I paid for the lessons has more than been recouped not just in terms of the money won from competitions but the pure enjoyment I have gained out of hitting the ball well. The difference is Keith is a proper coach. He simplifies everything, strips away all of your faults and gives you a solid set up and swing to work with. And because he relies on recommendations, he invests time in you. I have never had a lesson finish on the hour, some going way over it until we achieve what we set out to do. Unfortunately I recommended Keith to my best mate who has already dropped a shot after 2 lessons and is now taking money off me! Thoroughly enjoyable and very effective, I couldn’t recommend Keith highly enough. Mick Jones - April 1010
My son Jordan started playing golf 18mths ago in the Autumn of 2008 and a few months afterwards began having lessons with Keith. His starting handicap of 24 is now 5 and he is playing at county level. Keith’s commitment and support for Jordan over the last year has been exceptional. His teaching skill and knowledge has produced stunning results and his enthusiasm for the game is inspiring. Jordan really enjoys being a part of the growing and successful junior section at Hill Barn and is looking forward to continuing to work with Keith to improve his game with every confidence. Sharon Russell - April 2010
I had a series of six lessons with Keith over the summer, and it has improved my game, by giving me the tools to hit the ball correctly. Keith put me at ease every lesson, with his relaxed, but professional approach to each lesson. He came up with some interesting alternative exercises in the course of the lessons, and I have to say I enjoyed every one of them. My golf swing now feels more fluid, and relaxed, and I now feel that every time I go onto the course, I have the ability to play a reasonable round of golf. Thank you Keith. David Hopper - 18/10/09
As a senior member at HILLBARN GC, I’ve enjoyed the last 6 years trying to play golf and everything to do with HillBarn, with friendly club members and a very good set up. Being competitive I always wanted to improve but having developed cataracts in both eyes 2 years ago I was having difficulty. At the end of 2007 I had one eye done and the second eye done in February 2009. During 2008, together with others senior members, I decided to try your group improver lessons and again in the spring of this year, learning more about the basic mechanics of a proper swing and address. I can not profess to be a good golfer but the improvement I have achieved in the last 12 months, with your help, has definitely surprised me, having reduced my 18 handicap to a recent 14 handicap. Not bad for someone approaching 69 yrs. of age. Your pleasant manner, patience and style of teaching has helped me no end and has also helped other members too from comments I have heard.
Long may you coaching lessons continue here at Hill Barn GC. You may never know I may get into single figures.!! (In my dreams !)

Dear Keith Although having played golf for a number of years, I had not played for six months following a hip replacement. Many of the ladies in our section had been having lessons with Keith, and saying how much they were enjoying them and how their golf had improved, so I thought that I would join them, being a bit rusty. I then began to understand all aspects of the game, thanks to Keith's expertise in explaining everything, with endless patience and without making me feel completely incompetent. My game has improved beyond all measure. I think I have been one of his biggest challenges, but he has risen to the task admirably. I really amenjoying the lessons and my golf now. If he can sort me out, he can sort anybody! Thanks Keith, Stella Lindfield. 15/11/08

Dear Keith. Chris has been a junior member at Hill Barn golf club for only 4 years now and has progressed very well, but since Keith has been giving Chris lessons his game has improved to another level in a very short time. Keith has helped Chris with his game in which his handicap has gone from 15 to 10. As Chris is part of the junior team, you can see the progress made by all of the juniors, and there handicap that have come down. If anybody is considering golf lessons juniors/ adults then I truly recommend that you give Keith a try. Thank you

Having reached semi retirement I was determined, given more time, to play more golf and to reduce my handicap of 13. However the opposite happened and I found myself struggling to play consistent golf. Knowing Keith well and appreciating his excellent understanding of the golf swing I booked a series of lessons. Keith immediately adapted to me as a student and I found his simplified theories really easy to understand. My posture, grip, swing plane and timing improved very quickly and soon helped with my consistency on the golf course. I am now enjoying my golf again for the first time in a long time and even managed to play a round recently at 9 over par. We are now concentrating on my short game and I am already seeing substantial benefits. Jim Morl Handicap 13 18/10/2007
Thank you, Keith!......... I think I can safely say that I probably speak for my whole group, but I just wanted to put on record myappreciation for Keith Renwick’s help to myself and other lady ‘improvers’ who have been much enjoying our special- and very economical – group coaching sessions! Keith seems to have endless patience and relates to each and every one of us as individuals and has a very natural and friendly manner. The main thing is he seems to enjoy the lessons as much as we do! His teaching skills are such that everything is explained in a very easy to understand way – and I think it’s true to say that we have each gained a measurable improvement in our game because of the time he has spent with us. Everything he says seems to make such perfect sense and he is very quick to spot exactly what needs to be worked on. In essence, he really knows what he is talking about and I think he is going to be an incredible asset to the Club. It is so good to know that he will be around to call on for extra tuitionin the futurewhen something is just not going right out there on the course! Babs Simcock 3/12/07
