Golf Coaching Questions & Answers

1. What is the structure of your 1-2-1 coaching sessions?

Most lessons are either 30 minutes of 60 minutes in duration. The majority take place in our covered studios but we also have options to go out onto our grass bays, short game area or even the golf coach to cover specific aspects of the game. We always begin with an initial consultation lesson which costs just £19.99 regardless of coach, this is the ideal opportunity to understand an individual game and what a golfer wants to get from coaching and then make a plan together to achieve this.

2. Who can benefit from your coaching? (Beginners, intermediate, elite golfers, juniors, seniors)

All golfers can benefit from coaching, whether a beginner starting out who wants to get good initial fundamentals, more experienced golfers looking to achieve a particular goal or perhaps just a quick fix for an important event!

3. What key areas do you focus on? (Swing mechanics, short game, putting, mental game, course management)

Generally it will be fitting a swing around an individual golfers characteristics which will take account of physical and athletic ability, time available to practice, flexibility, hand eye coordination and of course an individuals goals and aspirations. All lessons are client led, we will coach to allow an individual to realise their goals. We will also work closely with clients to understand all facets of their game and add in specific putting, short game, bunker and playing lessons to cover these areas.

4. Do you offer different types of lessons? (Single lessons, packages, playing lessons, online coaching)

After an initial consultation there is an option to go for a coaching package of 2, 4, 6 hours which are completely flexible and can be used for either 30 minute, 60 minute or playing lessons. Packages are our most popular options as there are significant savings to be had and they are a great option if working towards a particular goal, but you can also “pay as you go” and book single lessons as required.

5. What technology or training aids do you use during lessons? (Launch monitors, video analysis, TrackMan, pressure mats)

We utilise video analysis within lessons as well as our Flightscope Ball Tracking which analysis clubhead path, angle of attack and ball data. All of this data as well as lesson notes are available to the golfer via the Coach Now system which we use. Golfers can even send us videos of their swing from their practice sessions which we can feedback on to check all is going well.

6. What results can a golfer expect from coaching? (E.g., lower handicap, more consistency, better confidence)

All golfers will have different desires and ambitions and we will make sure where possible these are met. For some it will be dropping their handicap by a number of shots, for others it may be improving enough to enjoy their game more, or maybe just to have more confidence to play in different company. Either way we’ll make sure we understand what you want to achieve and come up with an achievable plan to get you there.

7. What makes your coaching approach unique?

With 6 coaches to chose from you can make sure you get a good fit for you and your game. We’ll understand how you respond to different types of coaching and respond accordingly – some like a tech and stats driven approach, others are more visual and love video analysis while for others a more hands on demonstration led approach is the answer. Either way we’ll fit around you.

8. Do you have testimonials or case studies from past students?

Yes loads, will forward to Rodney

9. Are there specific guarantees or follow-ups included in your coaching?

Our work doesn’t stop at the end of each lesson…..you’ll receive follow up notes on Coach Now revisiting what we worked on in the lesson along with drills to work on between sessions. This is a two way process and we love to receive details of your practice back so we can feedback on how you’re getting on.

10. What are the costs, and are there discounts for multiple sessions?

We offer an initial consultation lesson for just £19.99 where the coach can begin to understand how to maximise improvements and can recommend an appropriate length package. Our 2, 4, 6 hour packages offer significant discounts over individual lessons.

11. How do customers book a lesson with you? (Online booking, phone, email)

The majority of our lessons come from referrals from existing happy customers! You can book in store or over the phone where we can discuss all of the best options with you or online where you can see all of our coaches diaries “live”
