Marathon Latest
February 15, 2012Kevin’s recent trip to India where he performed at the European Challenge Tour Event in Ahmedabad, meant his training for this year’s London Marathon was put on hold for a few days.
On his return the snow soon arrived, yet despite the inclement weather conditions Kevin has spent the past couple weeks making the most at his home club Hintlesham with regular training sessions around the snow bound 6580 yards par 72 course.
Kevin is hoping to raise a minimum of £2,000 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, and to date has almost reached the halfway stage. The support from club members, friends and family has been terrific, and I thank everyone who has kindly donated to the charity so close to our family’s hearts.
With less than 70 days to go Kevin’s training programme is now quite demanding, as he feels the strain in an attempt to run the 26 miles & 385 yard course in less than 4 hours.
To help Kevin over the finishing line please visit his fundraising page.
Thank you

KC Golf Show Teams Up With IJP Design
February 5, 2012The KC Golf Show was sporting his new look wearing IJP Design at the recent European Challenge Tour Event where he performed his Trick Shot Show at Kensville Golf & Country Club in India.
Kevin is delighted to be associated with the IJP Team, and is really excited about the prospect of performing his show around the world in a colourful range of outfits provided by Ian Poulter’s IJP Design.
Kevin thanks Galvin Green, who over the past three years have helped him with a superb range of outfits which have gone on to become a trademark of Kevin’s Golf Trick Shot Show.
To team up with IJP Design is a fantastic opportunity, and I look forward to meeting up with Poults, and entertaining the crowds at one of his Golf Day’s soon.

KC Misses Out On Live Show
February 2, 2012Unfortunately my Britain’s Got Talent journey has finally come to an end having missed out on appearing in the live shows at the final hurdle.
Although I came away from Cardiff’s Millenium Centre disappointed I am also very proud of my achievements as I made it to the last 500 from the 75,000 who auditioned.
The day begun with several interviews including presenters Ant & Dec, and ITV 2 Stephen Mulhern, both of which were very complimentary towards my golfing skills.
Performing infront of a full house including judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, and David Walliams was a great experience and one to certainly look back on with fond memories.
The response from followers on Facebook and Twitter has been overwhelming, and I would just like to thank everyone for there kind messages of support.
If this is a sign of things to come, then The KC Golf Show can look forward to an exciting 2012 trick shot season.
Here’s my view back stage before I met the three judges and the Cardiff Audience!
KC Golf Show Travels To India

December 10, 2011The audition for Britain’s Got Talent was a great experience, and considering the nerves I held myself together to put on a decent performance that might just persuade the producers to give the KC Golf Show a look in the live shows.
The audition’s are very well organised from start to finish - I arrived at London’s ExCel approx 8.30am and joined the que for registration. In just 30 minutes I signed in and was directed to a member of staff who would then give me my Britain’s Got Talent audition No. 70820 ( Which I proudly stuck on my Vibrant Green Galvin Green sweater!)
I then moved in to a much larger room with the other contestants. The room was split in half (one side solo acts, the other variety acts). You guessed it, I joined the side of the room performing variety acts! I can safely say there were no other golfers doing keep me uppies on a unicycle!
The room filled up in no time, and then came the famous Britain’s Got Talent music that plays at the start of evey show. The reality, nerves, excitement soon hit home as I knew it would’nt be long before the KC Golf Show would have his momenet to impress!
Small groups were then taken through to the auditioning rooms ( I counted six in total) There was probably four or five acts waiting at each auditioning room. Within ten minutes I was in performing my tricks to a Paolo Nutini track (pencil full of lead).
Apart from a slight wobble on the unicycle I was pleased with how my audition went. I now have to wait until the New Year to find out if I’ve made it through to the live shows.
I would like to thank everybody for there support, and as soon as I here any news you will be the first to know.
Fingers crossed The KC Golf Show brings you the good news!!!
Britain’s Got Talent Audition
December 2, 2011I am delighted to announce the KC Golf Show has been offered an audition on Britain’s Got Talent.
Kevin will be heading to London’s ExCel on Thursday 8th December to hopefully make an impact with the judges in the short time provided for his audition.
With just minutes to impress, Kevin’s unicycle and ball juggling looks set to be very much a key factor in his big enterance to the stage.
The KC Golf Show also has a couple new tricks up his sleeve which he hopes will persuade the judges to put him through to the televised live shows.
We eagerly anticipate the news in the following blog that Kevin’s audition is successful, and we look forward watching his trick shot show on the television.

Mind Factor Course – Karl Morris
November 22, 2011The Karl Morris MIND FACTOR course was three very special days for me, and I think I can safely say speaking on behalf of everyone else who attended the programme would say the same.
From day one both Karl, and his wife Nadine made everybody feel very welcome, and if any tension/nerves were in the first morning session Karl soon changed the mood with a warm, light hearted introduction making everyone feel relaxed and ready for three exciting days of learning Mind Factor skills and techniques.
Karl is one of Europes leading mind coaches delivering cutting edge methods of peak performance to a range of clients across sports and business none other than British Open Champions Darren Clarke & Louis Oosthuizen, US Open Champion Graeme McDowell, and US Masters Winner Charles Schwartzel to name just a few.
I thoroughly recommend to anyone who’s interested in the Mind Factor Course to seriously consider attending one of Karl’s seminars.
As well as coming away from the course full of excitement and energy, I also got to meet a fantastic bunch of people from a wide range of businesses who have become good friends.
I cannot praise Karl, and Nadine enough – two lovely people who take a lot of pride and care in their work.

Thanks very much for reading.

November 8, 2011A great mix of legion, and non legion members, service officers, and ex serving were thoroughly entertained by the KC Golf Show at Bury St Edmunds Golf Club on Friday 16th September for the 90th anniversary in aid of the Royal British Legion.
Event organiser, and County Secretary Sandra Bromley was extremely grateful to Kevin for given up his time, and donating his trick shot show to the event.
Kevin added, ‘I was delighted to be a part of the day, and was pleased I could help contribute to such a well worthy cause such as The Royal British Legion’.
Keeping in theme with the event, Kevin managed to incorporate a couple of large Poppies into the show which were used to great effect as giant tee’s during Kevin’s gym ball trick. (see photo attached)
Considering a relatively small field, everyone involved played there part and helped raise £1,255.00
Marie Curie Cancer Care Golf Day
November 4, 2011Hintlesham Golf Club was baked in hot sunshine for the Marie Curie Golf Day in memory of David Roblin.
Club Director Henry Roblin sadly lost his father to cancer shortly after the family took over the Suffolk Club in December 2006.
It’s a very special date in the clubs golfing calendar in which sees many members and friends supporting the Marie Curie Cancer Care.
This year the KC Golf Show played in the golf day as well as performing his trick shot show. Kevin’s team were tipped as strong contenders with fourball being made up actor and good friend Tom Ellis, photographer Tom Owens and Jamie Buller. Too many wasted opportunities meant the KC Golf Show team were a long way off the winning better ball score of 115 pts.
Kevin made up for an average day on the course with an impressive, and highly entertaining trick shot display for everyone involved in a fantastic day.
The Charity Day raised £2,500 which was greatly appreciated by both the Roblin family and Marie Curie Cancer Care.
The date for next year’s event has yet to be confirmed, and will be posted on the website in due course.
Hintlesham is the perfect venue for a golf day, and packages can be tailor made to suit your requirements. For further information please log on to hintleshamgolfclub.com
