Our coaching services

Coaching that covers

the whole game

Golf is not only about the swing, so our coaching is not either. Four ways we work with golfers.

01
1-To-1 Coaching

Every session includes TrackMan technology in our teaching studios to accurately measure your swing and impact, with video analysis alongside it.

02
On Course Coaching

Playing good golf is more than hitting good shots. Develop the decision making, course management and scoring skills that lower your scores.

03
Short Game Coaching

Over half your shots are played on and around the green. We find where you are losing them and build a short game that saves them.

04
A Team Behind You

Your coach works alongside our Physiotherapist and Strength & Conditioning team, so a physical limitation never quietly stalls your progress.

By looking at the golfer as a whole rather than just the golf swing, we make better coaching decisions, tailored to you rather than to a swing model.

MEET THE TEAM

Meet The PGA

Professional

Will Painter is an Advanced PGA Professional, TPI certified and a TrackMan specialist. Every session is built around your body, your goals and your golf swing rather than a generic model.

PGA Professional Coaching

If your goal is to improve your golf swing and lower your scores, a PGA Professional is the best place to start. By combining the TPI Screen with an understanding of golf swing mechanics, we can identify how your physical movement may be influencing your technique, so swing changes work with your body and are easier to maintain.

How they can help
Improve your golf swings faults
Understand your golf swings characteristics, why you do, what you do.
Link your body to your golf swing, swing-body connection.
Improve scoring skills and how to shoot better scores
Create a personalised coaching plan with monthly support
Use Trackman data to understand impact and how to improve consistency

OUR APPROACH

The Evolution Approach

Six things that stay the same, whichever part of the academy you use.

Understand the golfer first

Before anything changes, we take the time to understand your goals, your golf and how you actually want to spend your time here.

Measure, do not guess

Trackman technology and TPI movement principles mean every decision is based on what is really happening rather than an opinion.

Find the reason why

Technical, physical, or simply how you practise. There is always a reason changes are not sticking, and we identify it before we act.

Specialists who work together

Our PGA Professionals, physiotherapist and strength and conditioning coaches share what they find, so nothing gets missed between them.

A plan built around you

You leave with a clear, personalised plan built around your body, your goals and the time you realistically have to practise.

Progress you can see

We measure again as you go, so improvement is something you can point at rather than something you hope is happening.

I had a lesson with Will. He was attentive and planned an approach to how I could improve. After some practice the planned improvements paid off. Highly recommended.

Golf coaching with Will was a great experience. He helped progress my game using their Trackman technology and the driving range facilities to practice what I had been taught.
