In need of a holiday ………… ?
Monday, January 12th, 2009
I have just come across another interesting site for those in need of a holiday and some serious Snooker coaching. What is more its based in our wonderful home county of Lincolnshire.
Does the name Del Hill mean anything to you ? Well it should because Del is one of the best known Coaches in the Snooker game. His clients have included Ronnie O Sullivan , Joe Swail , Tony Drago , Graeme Dott , Peter Ebdon , Kelly Fisher and John Parrott. Del is an honorary WPSBSA coach the only non professional to receive the accolade. This enables him to coach coaches and conduct grading examinations. Del is also involved in the amateur game and is the EASB Team Manager and coach of the England set-up.
It was fifteen years ago that Del went to a Blackpool tournament with a mercurial 16 year old talent called Ronnie O Sullivan and a couple of years later he was working with Ronnie on the table assisting him in his preparation. He guided O Sullivan to The Asian Classic in Thailand and was in his corner when he won the UK Championship a year later. Del has since been the Rocket’s mentor for some of his finest moments including Ronnie’s first World title in 2001. In all Del guided Ronnie to many tournament wins and is quick to point out that working with Ronnie has assisted him in becoming the coach he is today.
Now the opportunity exists for you to benefit from Del’s skills at his aptly named Snooker Farm www.snookerfarm.com . Its not all about Snooker though as there are a number of other pursuits on offer. Del offers an hourly , daily or weekly rate for coaching. Additionally if you are looking to become a Snooker Coach yourself then a course is available for you to complete prior to taking your exam.
Alternatively just relax in the Lincolnshire countryside whilst having a few frames - a holiday with a difference !
