We started the Tiger club nearly ten years ago and little did we know the impact it would have on our lives. It was a real challenge getting three children down to Mill Green early in the morning but it was always worth it. Our children didn’t just learn to play golf they developed confidence, respect, self discipline and a great circle of friends. Our eldest was the first Tiger Captain and at twelve years old we watched him lead others on the course and make speeches that amazed us. Both boys still enjoy a game of golf and will have those skills for life. Our youngest now plays at County and National level and has never looked back after picking up her first club with the Tigers at age four. We travel all over the country, play some amazing courses, meet some great people and we only have Ian Parker and the Tiger Team to blame!Viv & Darryl Ofstedahl

Wow! What a fantastic day, again. The weather was near perfect, the organisation was excellent, the atmosphere was buzzing and exciting, the players behaviour was exemplary and the golf was of an outstanding quality. This is our second Tiger Team Cup and if it's possible this one was even better than 2010. Ian and the team deserve great credit not only for organising such a brilliant day but also running the Tiger Club and producing a bunch of future golfers. On the day the tension and suspense started from the off. Daryl Ofstedahl's magnificent presentation kept us all guessing and helped build the excitement and anticipation as the results and final scores were finally revealed. What a close and hard fought game we had. The Girl's team have finally broken the 6 year drought and deservedly took the cup by 17.5 to 15.5 points. We can't wait for next years match. Danny Geheran

Hi Ian,
I just thought you would like to know that Daniel's golf is progressing well and indeed I have had several reports back from recent matches on both how well he plays but also how well he handles himself on and off the course. I thought I should keep you updated as both you and your team at the Tiger Club are a big part of the reason Daniel plays the game in the right manner.
thanks again,
Richard Jackson

What a brilliant day we had on Sunday at what must surely be the highlight of the Tiger Club golfing year!This is the second Team Cup I’ve been to and any parent reading this will be heartened to know that their children will make a significant improvement to their game within a one year period if they stick to a routine, attend Tiger Club regularly and participate in events such as the Tiger Team Cup!I was proud to watch my own son and so many other highly enthusiastic youngsters turn out for Sunday’s big event!As always the whole day was well planned and managed.Everything seemed to go so smoothly but most of all the players all seemed to have such a magnificent day. Even the European Tour organisers would be impressed with the show put on last Sunday!I’m always so impressed with the standard of golf I see at competitions such as this.Most of all I enjoy watching the team spirit, fun and course discipline shown by the youngsters.
I’ve already been to my local bookmakers and got the odds going in favour of Luke’s team winning next year!

Tiger Team Cup 2010
What can i say, yet another brilliant day for all.
Olivia may have been the captain, but i can honestly say i think this was one of the best tiger cups yet (even though her team did loose). Once again the weather was really kind after having been forcast for a really wet weekend the sun came out every now and then and it stayed dry. Harry and Alex played the flute brilliantly, Both Callum and Olivia delivered great speaches and did a great job at their drive in's and everyone around seemed to be having a wonderful day and i dont just mean the kids who played.
The prizes that were up for grabs were the best ever and well done to Ben Warne for winning his sky caddy, which he truley deserved as he was so good with his opposition little Joe freeman and although he was winning he gave away huge putts and even let hom take another Tee shot without penalty to give im some confidence as he wasnt having his best game. (needless to say Ben did win his match).
My thanks go out to Ian, Luke, John, Matt, Pat for all their hard work and everyone else who helped also to Darryl for a brilliant slide show and Mark for another great programme even though i do want to kill him for the photo of me!!!.
Once again thank you tiger club you made a little girl every happy and even her brother too as he was on the winning team. Next year LUKE you will do it and hopefully Olivia will be on your team then too.

Hi Guys!!!!
As a whole, The Tiger Club is a fantastic experience. It gets kids who might be on the streets and lets them have fun in a safe environment with professionals teaching them and having a laugh with friends that they'll definitely make. Mill Green's Tigers acts as a family outside your own family... as my mum always says: "All we need is a bed!". The coaches; Ian, John, Luke and Matt love teaching new things to us and want you to go to the farthest possible point in your golfing career, they want to give you the best they can.
For me, going to Tigers is a breath of fresh air, a rest from the real world of school, homework and the dreaded exams! I got good enough to go to the intermediates, which plays on the main course, but I still play with the tigers even now when I play for Hertfordshire's county U14 squad and moved into the juniors! The pros have supported me and others throughout our time at Tigers and gave us lessons until we couldn't take it in anymore! The Mill Green Tiger Club is EXTREMELY lucky in having now 4 great coaches that'll make you learn AND make you have a bundle of fun. In fact coming into my last year, I am very jealous of Tigers that join now and I can only wish that they have the success and enjoyment that so many Tigers have experienced. I wish I could do it all over again!
Toodles!!!

Just like to add my thanks for a great Adult and Child golf day. My son and I ended up winning, but even if we hadn't we both enjoyed the day very much. Thanks for arranging it all.

Hello to all South Herts Tigers
I really enjoyed my visit to you today and saw some great golf shots. Mike used to teach my son 11 years ago and it was lovely to see his passion for teaching has resulted in the Tiger Club at South Herts.
I hope you like your pictures on the website (coming in the next few days) and that you will email me at pat@thetigerclub.com to let me know which picture is you.
