TESTIMONIES from Ladies at the Old Fold Manor Academy

“I’m in my second year of the OFMGC Academy and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to start learning golf for the first time or perhaps returning to the sport after a break. Glen Portelli, one of the club’s professionals, runs the Saturday morning academy group lessons and he ensures the lessons are always a lively mix of group and individual games and challenges. My golf has improved and my confidence has grown enormously because of these informative, practical and fun lessons.” (Jane)

“Old Fold Manor Academy has been running now for 3 years. I have been in this since the start and I would recommend any one who would like to learn the game of golf to join. You have coaching for an hour once a week with other academy members, which is done in blocks of 6, where Glen Portelli Old Fold’s Golf professional will teach you all you need to know from the basic fundamentals, to the rules and etiquette of golf, and also an on the course session. When you join as an Academy member, you will be able to play the course at certain times of the week and weekend. So why not join where you will make new friends and hopefully eventually become a lady member.” (Maria)

“So glad I joined the Academy. Glen gives excellent tuition in a fun way which is great for both beginners and improvers.” (Janet)

“The Academy has given me a fantastic opportunity to learn to play golf in a very welcoming and friendly club. Glen has made our lessons really enjoyable. I never ever imagined that I would ever get bitten by the "golf bug”!” (Carole)

“I wasn’t sure about getting into golf but joining the Academy at Old Fold made all the difference.  It was great to start with other women new to golf, to learn and develop together in a friendly supportive environment. The regular golf coaching from Glen, the club’s professional, made all the difference and I can see we have all come along really well. I’d encourage anyone interested to give it a try."  (Marion)
