Below stairs - literally - is a converted squash court which,
for the last fifty years., has been home to one of the most
unusual, yet also one of the most exclusive and successful,
golf schools in the world.
The name Leslie King may not mean too much to today’s
newer club golfer, yet to the professional ranks, particularly
those old enough to remember the culture of a bygone age,
they will know and respect the man who, literally, was the
first to devise a method of teaching golf.
It was in the years between the two world wars that Leslie
King first began thinking seriously about the golf swing.
Until then most “teachers” had concentrated on trying
to put right the faults that were seen in certain swings,
but without any real method. Too many so called corrections
of hooks or slices were based on trail-and-error rather than
learning the basic, fundamental positions required for consistent
golf.
