I tailor golf lessons to each player’s skill level effectively, using the following approach:
Initial Assessment
I Start by assessing the player’s current skill level, strengths, weaknesses, and goals. This could include swing analysis, short game evaluation, and course management understanding.
Beginner
“My beginner lessons follow a clear and easy-to-understand coaching structure that focuses on developing skills one at a time, building a faultless setup and swing technique.”
- Starting with fundamentals: grip, stance, posture, and basic swing mechanics.
- Including the rules and basic etiquette of golf.
- Sessions that prioritise short game (putting, chipping) early in the coaching program for quick confidence boosts.
- I Keep lessons simple and positive to build interest and avoid overwhelming players
.
Intermediate Golfers
- Working on refining swing mechanics and introducing shot-shaping techniques.
- Developing course strategy including club selection and reading greens.
- Introducing more advanced drills targeting weaknesses identified in the initial assessment.
- Encouraging consistent practice routines with measurable goals.
- Making a variety of Practice drills are included to encourage consistent practice routines with measurable goals, available to pupils

Practice and Feedback
- Tailoring drills and practice plans to individual needs and encourage self-analysis and reflection.
