In February 2017, following major heart surgery, I had the occasion to not only holiday in the region of Murcia but also find the Golf Academy of Paul Carpenter. Having told that to swing a golf club again could cause problems -after the sternum had been cut open twice in 10 days- I was determined to find a solution. To give up the game that I had been persevering with for the last 60+ years- was not an option. Finding the location of the Academy was easy, but I was suroprised to find it indoors and run with computer modules. How wrong can one be in having preconceived ideas! Paul Carpenter is one of the most engaging and professional golf coaches that I have come accros: And I have come across many in the search for achievement. His aim is to explain what is generatiing the individuals problem and, in my instance, find a swing that will not only reduce chest paing but will allow you to enjoy fully, a round of golf. A 30-minute initial session gives Paul the route for the solution. Youeither accept this or not. I would suggest that acceptance is the best answer! This was followed by several 30 minute lessons over a period of days which resulted in not only an understanding but also an ability to hit a golf ball straight and a fair distance. Personally, I cannot speak more highly of Paul. Not only for his indoor training but also for his willingness to follow this traing through on a local 9-hole golf course which is setout to test even the low handicap players. He offers through his Academy a complete package. His ability to help is not solely directed to the mid and/or high-handicap golfers. Durinng my time with him several golf professionals were inn his care to rectify their individual swing problems. Thank you, Paul, and I can only hope that the above will encourage others to meet with you so that they too can enjoy their game of golf to a greater degree.
