What a great few days away in Wales playing Clwb Golff Nefyn Golf Club and Royal St.David's Golf Club - Clwb Golff Brenhinol Dewi Sant this past weekend.

The weather gods looked down on us fondly in October and there was some quality golf to match up to the setting.

Each match coming down to the last hole on both days.

"The Point" at Nefyn, originally the front 9, before more inland holes were built in the 1930's is without doubt the coolest 9-hole loop you could start a golf trip with (especially considering the beach-front pub stop after the 6th). A great warm-up to the full 18 which boasts an incredible coastline backdrop.

Royal St David's under the shadow of Harlech Castle is one of those courses where accuracy off the tee is needed. Avoid the bunker's and it's scorable, otherwise you'll have to take your medicine.

Good times with childhood mates and memories that will last a lifetime.

As the season starts to close out here in the UK this twilight shot from yesterday’s round encapsulates a very productive spring and summer of competitive golf for myself and many of our clients.

Here’s to an even more successful autumn and winter of progress in the gym and indoor simulator studio.

Putting the hard yards in behind the scenes will be the focus as those dark nights and colder days start to creep in.

I am driving the ball an extra 25 yards. My overall flexibility has improved and my body feels much stronger. I was impressed with the way Jon layers the exercises to first improve flexibility, then build strength and finally add power.

Another great afternoon of staff training.

This is a regular fixture in the diary to ensure our service standards are always at the highest level possible.

This week we explored testing protocols for the hip and pelvis with the use of our VALD Performance dynamo.

These sessions have been great for getting discussion going on the best way to test and how to interpret results with all staff members actively getting involved.

It's a real team effort and we couldn't be happier with the one we've started to build so far.

We’re excited to introduce the newest member of our team — Jacob Whitehurst, who has joined us as a permanent coach.

Jacob is a former professional golfer whose career was cut short by chronic lower back pain. That experience sparked a deep interest in injury rehab and physical preparation, ultimately leading him to retrain, rehab his own body, and pursue a career in golf fitness.

Since then, he’s gone on to earn a first-class degree in Sport & Exercise Science and is now studying for a PhD in Sport Science at Loughborough University — one of the UK’s leading institutions in the field. He also brings over five years of hands-on coaching experience, working with everyone from everyday gym-goers looking to get out of pain to elite-level athletes.

Most importantly, Jacob is exactly the kind of coach we look for — caring, down-to-earth, highly knowledgeable, and fully aligned with our mission of helping golfers move better and enjoy the game for years to come. His addition to the team will help us continue raising the standard of coaching we offer — particularly in how we assess, monitor, and programme for long-term performance.

I’ve been golfing for nearly 50 years and Jon has given me a new lease of life in the game. Aches & pains are much reduced, I’ve regained distance off the tee, and I’m also able to play 36 holes per day when required. This was unthinkable a couple of years ago.

A huge congratulations to on becoming TPI Certified.

Ben has been with us for nearly two years and brings a wealth of experience coaching everyone from juniors to senior golfers.

His new certification adds another layer to that expertise — allowing him to carry out in-depth assessments that identify the movement limitations holding clients back from playing better and staying injury-free.

Great work, Ben. We’re proud to have you on the team.

I was concerned that Jon might only work with elite athletes and not ordinary people, but this wasn’t the case! Jon tailors the workouts to my level and I come away from sessions feeling rejuvenated and not exhausted.

His knowledge and enthusiasm keep me motivated and I am reaping the benefits. Every week I notice an improvement in my strength and flexibility.

My advice is that you don’t have to live with a weak & tired old body, working with Jon is an investment in your future!

Before starting, I wasn’t sure how much a fitness programme could really help my golf swing. But working with Jon Hodgkinson Golf Fitness has made a big difference. I’ve now got better movement in key areas, which is helping me hit the ball more consistently.

What’s impressed me most is how personalised the programme has been. Exercises were chosen that not only addressed my physical limitations but also supported the specific changes my golf coach is working on with me. I’ve gained flexibility, improved my balance, and now have a clear plan to keep progressing.

I’d recommend Jon Hodgkinson Golf Fitness to anyone. They really understand how to tailor exercises to suit your age, fitness level, and golfing goals.

Even though I am only 2 weeks in, I am already swinging with a wider arc due to better posture and have gained distance off the tee.

40 mph winds into your face on the front nine.

Followed by a helping hand on the way back home.

Great course layout and a really enjoyable test all the way through.
