Why is a one to one lesson right for you?
Our lessons will be tailored to your needs. Your goals will be discussed and your coach will explain the steps you need to take to make sure you achieve your goals.

Personalised Coaching
You need to know what you need to do to improve, no two swings are alike and taking advice from your friends will often make things worse. Learn from our experts and make sure you improve!

Flexible Programmes
Your coach will explain how our programmes can be tailored to suit the amount of time you have to practice and play, and the time with your coach can be used flexibly both on the practice ground and on the course!

Video & Technology
We use technology to highlight particular areas of improvement that you need to make and to improve the learning process so that you improve quicker and reach your goals faster!

Lesson Feedback
We will provide feedback after each lesson to make sure you are fully aware of what it is you need to work on.

Measure improvement
We use simple statistics to measure your improvement throughout your lesson programme. We need to make sure you are improving and that the areas we are working on are having a positive impact on your performances.

Support & Guidance
We also encourage all our students to provide us with feedback away from their lessons too. The more information we have the better service we can provide.
