Craig’s Teaching Philosophy

Craig’s Go To Club

“My PING 2021 DS72 Putter is always in my bag. It has a great soft feel at impact as well as using PING’s true roll technology, allowing for ultimate forgiveness on off centre strikes.”

 

Craig’s Golf Hero

“Lee Westwood, apart from an outstanding track record, his attitude and demeanour on course is something we should all aspire to have. Having him regularly onsite at Close House, as our attached touring pro, is a real privilege and inspiration. “
