To celebrate Mark Crossfield (known to many as AskGolfGuru or #Parfield) passing the 150,000 subscribers mark on Mark Crossfield’s Youtube channel, we recently picked 50 lucky golfers from thousands of entrants to attend a Crossfield Clinic Golf Day at Whittlebury Hall.
Your Golf Travel first started working with Mark back in early 2013 and we’ve since sent him, along with his collection of golfing stooges including the likes of Coach Lockey, Steve “The Buzzman” Buzza and our very own YGT Rory (a.k.a #ThinBullet), to countless destinations around the world including Ireland, Portugal’s Algarve and even the USA to film the courses you might want to play on your next golf holiday, giving you guys a better idea of what the courses are like and how to play them…and how NOT to play them in plenty of instances!
Of course, Mark has been posting his own unique brand of golf videos on Youtube for some time now and between his honest equipment reviews, live lessons and, of course, his great collection of Your Golf Travel course vlogs, he’s blazed a trail for golf related content creators on Youtube.
We wanted to reward Mark for all of his hard work, as well as you guys, the viewers, who make it all possible, so we though what better way to say thanks than FREE golf and FREE lessons with Mark & Coach Lockey??
So last Wednesday we travelled to Whittlebury Hall in Northamptonshire, where we met Mark and the Coach, as well as our 50 lucky winners.
Your Golf Travel host the Crossfield Clinic Golf Day at Whittlebury Hall – See how the guys got on…
Some of the 50 had travelled up the night before and stayed at Whittlebury Hall, with others joining us all on the Wednesday morning, ready and eager to hit the course and learn a thing or two from the pros.
Mr Crossfield set himself up on the range and had all his fancy gizmos that he bases his lessons around in tow, including his BodiTrak Pressure Mat and, of course, his trusty GC2 HMT Launch Monitor.
Golfers were split between Mark and Coach Lockey who awaited their arrival at Whittlebury Hall’s short game practice area, ready to dish out the secrets behind a modern approach to the short game, better known to many as #LockeyMagic.

With Mark giving each and every winner a new swing thought to help improve their golf on the course, and Lockey talking everyone through the new fangled “linear” approach to chipping and bunker play, golfers were well armed by the time they got to the course.
It showed in the scoring too as those finishing in the prizes for the Stableford competition that was ran finished with really impressive scores, with the odd one or two even sneaking over the 40 point mark!
Golf was followed by lunch and a prize giving and before the guys hit the road and headed back to their base in Exeter and Devon, anyone who wanted pictures or maybe even a scribble on a spare golf ball or glove got exactly that.
Thanks to all who attended on the day and of course to Mark and Matt who no doubt sent 50 people home as very happy golfers!

[quote]The day was really great. It was ran exceptionally well and smoothly. It was brilliant to get to see and speak to Mark and Matt and to see how they teach and how they work after watching them for so long, they are exceptionally knowledgeable about what they do and also a great laugh. If I’m ever in the area I will be booking lessons with them. It was also great to meet Rory and also Rachel. Overall it was fantastic![/quote]

[quote]Excellent day all in all, I was in the group who played first then had the clinic after would of prefered other way round but thats just look of the draw. Found mark to be very nice and seemed genuinely interested in everyones little faults and how quickly he sorted them out. Lockey was also very good and came across as a lot better golfer than he appears sometimes on video. Rory and Rachel were very pleasant and helpful throughout the day.
