Welcome to Four Counties Golf

Testimonials

Popped in to see Cheryl en route to my flat and had the opportunity to try it out.
Brilliant, just brilliant, the first was tentative, but straight, the second like an arrow and I’m guessing 165+ , the third like a rifle shot , straight as a die, and 190 comfortably.
The grip, the whip, the length the lot ………….just right.
So many thanks to you and of course to Cheryl, who witnessed the width of my smile !
I’m sure I’ll be in touch about other changes,

"Thank you for fitting such an excellent shaft in my driver. The Mitsubishi Fubuki shaft is fabulous - I hit every fairway and all shots have been plumb down the centre and very long. What a driver!"

"Just to let you know - clubs are going really well - irons are a revelation - finally sorted out the driver on second round - going long - really enjoying the Callaway Tour iX balls except they cut up a bit. Occasionally getting fade on driver but is improving - thanks for everything.

I am thinking of writing a piece about the experience with you and sending it to one of the golf mags - firstly is this ok with you - obviously I would let you see a copy of it first before I submitted it - as I think more people should experience what I have to see how it should be done."

"Winter Service made the irons work fantastically well. Setting the clubs up for me have improved the performance and given greater consistency - like having a new set of clubs."

"300yard drive at the last play off hole, the Alpha driver certainly helped with this win as I said it fly\'s so straight that I had the confidence to hit it most holes."

"Having my existing golf clubs set up \'properly\' has changed my whole golfing life! It\'s a different game! Then adding to the bag my new KZG offset driver and Alpha wedge was the icing on the cake - pleased to say that my handicap has dropped 6 shots to 15 this season. Thanks."

"It`s been a while since I took ownership of the beautiful KZG golf clubs you made for me, I could not use them for some weeks as I injured my shoulder, it took a week or so to get used to them as they are much lighter than my old clubs, so I had to slow down my swing and then speed up slowly, I can`t believe how far the balls going ,7iron 170 yards, 5 wood 225 yard all other clubs 20 to 40 yards further. I had a lot of comments on the clubs so I passed on your details, so it only leaves me to thank you very much for your care and craftsmanship."

"Hi Melvyn

just an update on the great Alpha driver you made me it hits long and mostly straight so great for me. I am now looking for new shafts for my irons can you suggest a good shaft for a smooth swing with a kick at the release point. thanks again."

"Hi Melvyn – just to say thanks for the fitting up of the new KZG forged Evolution iron heads.
They play well and I found them easy to use right from the start of my first round with them on Thursday.
Also the Rescue produce a solid strike and is easy to play. Just need another few mph swing speed – no hope of that I’m afraid – at least my putting remains effective.

Junior Clubs – my Grandson is 42 inches and my granddaughter 50 inches in height – I presume the 7 iron will be okay for my granddaughter but t I think I need something shorter for my grandson – please can you give me some advice on this."

"I played at Tain in Scotland last week, that is one beast of a golf course but, if you get up that way don"t miss it. Just thought I would let you know your irons are doing great work, I am hitting the 7 iron 173 yards that is one good club, have settled into them very well now, won\'t bore you with all yards they do, only to say big thanks.
$\"\"$ keep well."

"Many congratulations re your award (Top 100 club fitters). It really comes as no surprise to me that you have received the award, as your expertise, patience and good nature is obvious to anyone who comes into contact with you. You will be interested to know that I am starting to use my driver well off the T. I had the best front 9 so far last Wednesday at Willesley once again Melvyn many congratulations."

"Hi Melvyn - just to say many thanks for setting up my clubs. The driver is perfect - easy swing - can release with right hand without fear of big hood - same with the irons - all working well - even managed to get a few putts in the hole yesterday -still need to keep the head still through! Hasn\'t solved that problem with putting."
Mike Hearn

"Just a quick line to thank you for the adjustments to my clubs, it\'s not a good sign I played 7 shots under my handicap and won the bogey competition with +11. I have also been labelled as a bandit and if it carries on they won\'t let me play anymore!"

"Good newsletter and I also like the website. Thanks for the sesion with the driver, it really helped - Matt had me smacking it long and straight again after I finished my lesson."
Adie Wells

"As a high handicaper I was not sure what a custom fit set of clubs would bring to my game! The only consistent part of my game seemed to be the inconsistency. Putting my entire trust in Melvyn has delivered a new shaft and grip on my driver which now finds the fairway with alarming consistency. I replaced all my irons, the shafts are heavier, the grips fatter and I have an unfamiliar awareness of the the club head position that my off the shelf graphite irons never delivered. It\'s so good to know that in this forgiving game that my clubs are set up to deliver the best I can achieve. The trust I have developed in Melvyn\'s knowledge and ability will keep me coming back for year. Thankyou."

"I came to see you in the summer with my son Ethan and you furnished me with the NP1 irons a week later when my wife Anne-Marie came with me. I\'ve not been too well since I\'ve seen you and am off work until next Thu, hence haven\'t played too many times with the new irons. What I found fairly early on was that using Pro V1 or 1X I am spinning the ball off the green, which I believe is something you told me in your loft. Last Thu I played at Portal, a very good championship course and played to 4, my H/C is 12. I had 3 birdies and lipped out 2 more. The trajectory and length with the new irons are great, I hit a 175 yard par 3 with a 7 iron, the tee and green are the same level and there was no dead ground between tee and green. I am very pleased and things should only get better when I\'ve played 10 or more rounds next year. Thank you for your service and cheery persona."

"Just like to say thanks for the new clubs, you have done a first class job. Playing very well now. I was a bit worried when you made them longer but no problem, hitting them well, a great set of irons. It is not often these days that you can say GOOD JOB, but you have done just that. If you find anyone who can\'t make up thier minds use this email."

"Reference my club fitting today, I just went to the range and hit 10 shots with every iron - dead straight! Thanks for your advise and help."

"In May 2008 I decided to purchase a new driver. I visited Melvyn at Four Counties golf and after trialling a few combinations ended up purchasing an Alpha V5 driver with an SKFiber shaft. I liked the feel of the club so much that I bought the 3 wood and 7 wood to match. These clubs are awesome and are largely responsible for me being able to get onto the long par 4\'s at my home club in regulation. I also bought new KZG forged TRS wedges (52, 56 and 60) and for the first time in 40 years of playing golf achieve backspin. My handicap has dropped during the summer by a massive 30% and am thrilled to have finished the season with a handicap of 5.9. I am absolutely delighted by the level of service and the way that Melvyn stuck with the challenge to achieve a combination that works for me".

"Thanks for the Nakashima wedges, I put them under the gun immediately on Sunningdale Old Course, very good indeed.

"Jill loves the fordged wedge, great feel, great sound, I can\'t get it out of her hands!"

Trevor Iball

"Have now tried out my new golf clubs and am impressed, I am beginning to hit the driver straighter and most of the other clubs are working well. It\'s just getting used to the new feel, length etc and knowing what they will do. Thanks for all your help, you will read about it when I top the order of merit or am asked to play in the Ryder Cup!"

"Just to confirm that I received my 5 wood safely, it looks very good but have not yet used it in anger. I must say that I am delighted with the set of irons you made for me, as I am hitting the ball sweeter and longer than ever before. I won a seniors competition a couple of weeks ago and I am beginning to make some progess to reducing my handicap."

David Stevenson

+++

"With regards to my new clubs, only had the chance to play with them three times so far. Love them all, the irons work like a dream, I am hitting longer and straighter without hardly any duff shots, which is great. The U iron is unbelievable and if the new driver gives me as much pleasure I will be a happy bunny."

Peter Dockerty

"The initial clubs and changes you have made are extremely positive. I have been out today at the practice ground and really enjoyed it."

"New Nakashima Driver - Awsome!"

Pete Hartley

"I thought I would drop you a line on my 3 wood and hybrid, that half an hour spent on your launch monitor was the best money I have ever spent. The 3 wood I am just hitting out of my boots, long and straight, the shaft you fitted is spot on. The Taylor Made hybrid is not good so on the information you have can you make me a 5 wood for about 220/230 yards."

Steve Brooks

+++

"Feedback on 3 wood is that it is gorgeous, the ball flight is good and I can both draw and fade it. I like the shaft a lot, it is a lot more stable with more feel."

Chris Dewes

"Firstly I must compliment you on the set of KZG Evolution irons you made for me last year, SUPERB. My game has never been any better. The driver took some getting used to but is under control now and I am quite happy. The reason for contacting you is to arrange a visit to have my clubs checked and would also like you to make me a couple more."

Rob Chadwick

"There is club fitting and then there is Melvyn Fern the consummate club fitter. Knowing that the club in your hand has been perfectly tailored to you brings plenty of confidence. Since Melvyn made me a set of KZG in August 2006 my handicap has gone from 16.6 to 11.3 - say no more."

Graham Slack

"I thought I might be looking at a very expensive option, instead I have clubs that are just right for me and they are reasonably priced. I\'ll be back!"
