Our Coaching Approach

In our many years of playing and teaching golf, we have learned through our own hard experiences and frustrations that there are a lot of poor concepts about how to hit a simple white ball. The truth is that most golfers never improve quickly or get enough enjoyment out of their game because many of these concepts hold each player back. With so much information out there its easy to fall into many traps of trying to become a better player by continually searching.

Our core objective as an academy is to help golfers achieve better ball striking and more controllable simpler swings.

We believe that most golfers create too much excessive motion to hit a shot and over time, develop an array of compensatory moves and poor habits with their body or swing path in an attempt to hit the ball. These sort of thoughts also create a very uncoordinated swing, poor ball flight/contact and a great deal of frustration.

By getting each student to understand a few basic concepts about how to make a simpler swing, he or she no matter what age or ability can produce a more efficient and repeatable swing with less effort yet still hit the ball powerfully.

Your first session with us is a one-hour consultation that allows your coach to understand where your game is now and to design a coaching schedule to help you to reach your future goals. Further coaching requirements will be discussed with you at the end of this hour. This can be organized in either 3hr 6hr or 12hour programme, which give total flexibility with sessions lasting anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on what you require.

How our sessions work

• You tell us about your game.
• We watch you hit some shots and take some video.
• We find out what you believe you should be doing and we show you what you should be doing by using our innovative computer software.
• We discuss your misconceptions - and all golfers have them.
• We help you to feel the differences and see the difference with our indoor mirror training.
• You improve quickly and retain the improvement because we simplify the thought process and put your new feelings into an easier motion.
• Everything we teach starts at the start, an understanding of good body angles that make no compensatory moves later, followed by understanding three main core concepts that we believe define each persons swing assist this. These are..

Swing Radius
Weight Shift
Turn

Our Job is then to educate each student so they understand their swing and how to make it simpler and more effective. Training aids such as impact bags, mirrors and practice slopes enhances and accelerates the learning process to make your practice time more constructive. We are sure that you will find our coaching simple, easy and fun to learn…

The great Ben Hogan once said, "The secret to a good golf swing lay in the first two feet of the backswing… get it wrong and the problems multiply"

We look forward to hearing from you soon and helping you with your game.
