All good things must come to an end ❤️😢
This was certainly one of those emotional moments 🥹
Yesterday marked the end-of-season presentation for Bridgnorth Spartans U13s Boys, and with it, the end of an incredible chapter in Leila’s football journey in our home town.
Leila first joined Spartans at just 4 years old through Soccer School and Football Fun sessions before stepping into her first team at the age of 6 as the only girl in an all-boys team. Over the past seven seasons, she has made lifelong memories, developed as both a player and a person, and been fortunate enough to be guided by three outstanding coaches — Rob, Fletch and Jay ❤️❤️❤️
As a parent, it has been a privilege to watch Leila grow in confidence, resilience and character through football ⚽️
The support, encouragement and dedication shown by her coaches, teammates, volunteers and everyone connected with Bridgnorth Spartans has been nothing short of incredible.
Whilst this chapter comes to a close, an exciting new one begins. Leila will now continue her football journey with Kidderminster Harriers Girls to defend their league title 🏆and also now dedicating more time to her other great passion in life — horse riding, dressage and showjumping 🏇
To everyone at Bridgnorth Spartans who has played a part in Leila’s journey over the last nine years, thank you 🙏
We are incredibly grateful for everything you have done and for the memories you have helped create. The friendships, experiences and life lessons gained along the way will stay with her forever.
Yesterday was emotional, but it was also a celebration of an incredible journey and the beginning of an exciting new adventure.
Once a Spartan, always a Spartan❤️🖤⚽️

After 8 fantastic years coaching together it’s time to say thank you and good luck to one of my good friends and colleagues
Steve and exciting new dimension to the Academy team. His vision and desire to constantly improve, willingness to learn, offer exceptional customer experience and passion for helping fellow coaches had made a huge impact on all of us.
Steve played a big role in bringing the Academy into the digital world — from booking systems and automation to e-marketing and website design. His influence behind the scenes has helped shape the Academy into what it is today.
On a personal level, I can’t thank Steve enough for how much he has helped me reflect on and grow my own coaching business over the years 🤝
Since arriving Steve has also built a wonderful family life — moving into his family home and becoming a proud dad to two young children. The foundations are very much in place for an exciting next chapter 🏡
As the Academy continues to grow and evolve in different directions, Steve will now pursue his own goals and continue his journey as a great golf coach and servant to the PGA.
Thank you again, Steve. I / we are going to miss you, mate.. I know we’ll definitely stay in touch a help each other progress.
Wishing you and the family all the very best for what comes next 👏⛳️

What a moment for Aaron Rai and everybody involved with
PGA Championship CHAMPION GOLFER 🏆
I’ve honestly been overwhelmed with all the media attention over the past few days following the weekend broadcast and the many mentions of the 3 Hammers Golf Complex (Official)where it all began for Aaron. It’s safe to say the media have been all over this amazing story. After several interviews and many more still to come. I finally wanted to take the chance to congratulate Aaron and his incredible team 🙏
HUGE congratulations also to good friends Andy & Piers from Me and My Golf Physiotherapist Andy Caldwell and everyone who has been part of
Such a strong professional network to have around him, and an incredibly supportive family.
Just to clarify, despite making this clear with all the media platforms involved, I can honestly say I personally cannot take any credit for Aaron’s success, having never actually coached Aaron personally. At times I’ve helped him interpret some of the TrackMan data 😂 All of the coaching credit very much goes to and
I’ve been lucky enough to closely follow Aaron’s journey from winning on the
Euro-Pro Tour ✅
DP World Tour ✅
PGA TOUR ✅
PGA Championship ✅
Aaron is one of the most genuine, honest, humble, and hardworking people you could ever meet, someone who always has time for everyone around him. It was also really special to spend some time with Aaron and his family last month
I genuinely believe this will be the first of more major to come.
So much respect and so happy for Aaron and everyone involved with ❤️

What an incredible Sunday ⛳️
It was my first time experiencing a tournament day at Augusta, and it didn’t disappoint. We managed to get into some incredible positions and were lucky enough to follow for his entire back nine.
Watching it unfold live was just incredible. The pressure, the shot-making, the way he handled the moment, it’s a completely different level when you see it up close. You gain a real appreciation for just how precise and controlled these players are under the most intense pressure.
The energy around the closing holes was unreal. Every shot felt huge, every cheer echoed through the trees, and you could feel the momentum building as he pushed towards the win.
And then to be there at the end—to see him lift the trophy—and even get a handshake from the champion and his caddie just moments after… that’s something I’ll never forget 🤝
It was also pretty cool to bump into ex Manager out on the course—especially starting the day under a “Southgate” sign… couldn’t have written that 😂 Unfortunately I couldn’t capture a picture 🤦♂️
Unfortunately, due to the rules and traditions at Augusta, there aren’t too many photos to share from the day. Cameras and phones are strictly prohibited, which in a way makes you even more present and immersed in the experience.
It was so nice to experience this with such amazing friends who have shared the Masters practice day experience with before but never a tournament day 🙏
I’ve taken so much from watching the best in the world in that environment, and I’m really excited to bring those insights back into my coaching.
And the exciting part… I’m incredibly pleased to say I’ll be heading back to The Masters next year ⛳️
If you’d be interested in joining me for what is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, feel free to drop me a message to register your interest. I’ll be sharing more details soon 👍
BLESSED 🙏

Week one of Harbour Town & The Masters Tuesday is in the books — and what a week it’s been 👌
My first group of student / friends head back to the UK with memories that will last a lifetime.
We packed so much into one incredible trip:
⛳ Three fantastic rounds at Atlantic Dunes and Old South — two brilliant courses full of character, challenge, and unforgettable moments.
⛳ A true bucket-list experience playing Harbour Town Golf Links on the final day before it closed for the .
⛳ And the icing on the cake — a practice day visit to Augusta National Golf Club for The Masters Tournament.
To walk the full property, take in the history and tradition up close, and watch some of the best players in the world preparing for the week was incredibly special.
A real highlight was spending time with Aaron Rai / his family and support network . It was amazing to share those moments together — and even better to see Aaron go on to win the Par 3 Contest and a solid 1st round🏆💪
Now it’s time for the next chapter. I’ve now arrived in Columbia, South Carolina, to meet my next travelling group before we head back to Augusta for the final day of The Masters ⛳️❤️
Then it’s back to Hilton Head for more golf, more unforgettable moments, and to soak up the atmosphere at the opening round of the RBC Heritage 🙏
These are the kind of experiences that stay with you forever — and I feel incredibly lucky to share them with such amazing people.
