DAILY EXPRESS 7th SEPTEMBER 2009- IT DON'T MEAN A THING IF YOU AIN'T GOT THAT SWING
BRUCE Forsyth has swung there, Anton Du Beke has been photographed there while Tess Daly’s husband, the television presenter Vernon Kay, would rather be there than most other places. No, no, I’m not talking about Strictly Come Dancing but rather those of the cast who move their hips and tip their toes a few hundred yards from Harrods.

 THE GOLF DELUSION: WHY 9 OUT OF 10 GOLFERS MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES
Since its conception in 1951, the Knightsbridge Golf School has taught tens of thousands of golfers of all ages and abilities, from the wonderfully talented to the woefully inept.
Amazingly, despite a wealth of instructional material and access to the latest teaching technology, golfers of today are no better than they were when the school first opened its doors almost sixty years ago. They still cling hopelessly to the delusion that the next golden tip or instant fix will suddenly and magically transform them from rabbit to Tiger.
The Golf Delusion explains that sadly no such tip exists, and outlines a proven, time-tested swing model that guarantees a programme for immediate and sustained improvement.
Steve Gould and DJ Wilkinson have more than seventy years' teaching experience between them. They both joined the school in the 1970s and studies under the legendary teacher Leslie King, a pioneer of golf swing instruction who founded the Knightsbridge Golf School in 1951. In 1989 Mr King handed the school down to them, and over the past twenty years they have polished his original teachings into a beautifully simple and effective swing model that can be learnt by anyone, regardless of age or ability.

THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED
‘The greatest game ever played’ was written by Mark Frost and told the true story of the 1913 US Open when Francis Ouimet a 19 year old American amateur took the title by beating the superstar golfers of their day Harry Vardon and Ted Ray, who were both British.
Walt Disney were so impressed by the book that they decided to turn it into a major motion picture. Mark Frost and many friends who had taken lessons from us and sent three of the films main characters to the school in preparation for their roles as Harry Vardon (Stephen Dillane) Ted Ray (Stephen Marcus) and Wilfrid Reid (George Asprey).
In a way these characters arrival make us think that the schools story had turned full circle as Leslie Kings original swing model was built around the swings of Harry Vardon and Ted Ray! In September 2005 on the day that England won the Ashes, we were invited to Disney’s London Officer for a private viewing and were delighted to see our names prominently running down its credits at the end of the film!
We hope you get a chance to catch it at your local cinema – and don’t forget to watch the end credits!
