Coaching that makes
changes finally stick
Golf coaching at Evolution starts from one belief: when a swing change does not last, there is always a reason why. Many golfers leave lessons knowing exactly what they need to change, only to find themselves back in the same swing patterns a few weeks later.
Rather than jumping straight into changing your golf swing, our PGA Professionals first work out what is preventing lasting improvement. Trackman measures your impact data, ball flight and club path, video analysis shows your swing characteristics, and TPI movement principles reveal what your body can physically deliver. Sometimes the answer is technical, sometimes it is physical, and sometimes it is how you practise. Coaching covers the whole game too: one to one lessons, on course coaching for course management and scoring, and short game coaching for chipping, wedges and putting.
Coaching runs seven days a week at Ormonde Fields Golf Club in Codnor, near Ripley, around 20 minutes from Derby.
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.
Every session includes TrackMan technology in our teaching studios to accurately measure your swing and impact, with video analysis alongside it.
Playing good golf is more than hitting good shots. Develop the decision making, course management and scoring skills that lower your scores.
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.
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.

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.
OUR APPROACH
The Evolution Approach
Six things that stay the same, whichever part of the academy you use.
Before anything changes, we take the time to understand your goals, your golf and how you actually want to spend your time here.
Trackman technology and TPI movement principles mean every decision is based on what is really happening rather than an opinion.
Technical, physical, or simply how you practise. There is always a reason changes are not sticking, and we identify it before we act.
Our PGA Professionals, physiotherapist and strength and conditioning coaches share what they find, so nothing gets missed between them.
You leave with a clear, personalised plan built around your body, your goals and the time you realistically have to practise.
We measure again as you go, so improvement is something you can point at rather than something you hope is happening.

Reviews from Derby & Nottingham golfers
Trusted by golfers
across the Midlands.

The practice facilities here are second to none. I couldn’t of been more impressed, the grass range is an amazing touch and the track man bays are top notch as well, mats are perfect not worn, balls aren’t battered, great value for money, definitely my go to practice facility now.

Great range, balls are in very good nick, Trackman too, plus a nice little chipping area.

Great place to start your golfing journey. The Trackman facilities are excellent.

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.

Will gave me good advice and made adjustments to my swing. Huge improvement in just one lesson, best £50 I have ever spent.
