If you have never had the opportunity to play golf before or are just starting out in the game then this is the perfect course for you. The coach will introduce you to the game, giving you the necessary skills to be able to strike the ball consistently as well as giving you a basic understanding of the rules of the game, the different clubs in your bag and etiquette on the course.

The improvers course is for the more established golfer who has previous golfing experience and is seeking to improve on both technique and score. The PGA Coach will be flexible in his approach to these sessions to ensure the lessons are beneficial to all participants. The use of swing analysis in these sessions will enable you to see the improvement in your swing from the first to the last lesson.

Whether you are a beginner or an improver the coach will tailor the sessions to meet the needs of the whole group. This is a great opportunity to work on your game under no pressure and in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. It’s also a great opportunity to meet other fellow golfers playing the game.

As the title suggests these lessons are a chance for both parent & child to learn and improve on their game together. Ultimately there will be varying levels of ability in the class but with the coaches’ assistance and guidance the sessions will prove beneficial to all involved. The focus of these sessions is on enjoyment!
