Course reviews

For myself where I am having difficulty this has given me video vision and explanation to be able to go out and practice. I have not yet tried as the weather has not permitted me too along with time. I look forward to the coming weekend to hopefully practice this and gain further knowledge.
This is great for those who are new and also unsure.
Thank you.."
