As Albert Einstein once said,

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”

Are you an insane golfer?

As opposed to taking sporadic lessons when you get around to it, the Academy format is eight individual lessons pre-booked in advance at times to suit you with the opportunity for hassle-free payment by standing order.

• Commitment to regular lesson programme: one session per month or sooner if you wish.
• Priority bookings in advance: payments made by standing order.
• E-mail and text message reminder: prior to each lesson.
• Motivation to practice: maximise your true potential.
• Use of the latest training techniques: Hi-Speed camera, Explanar, launch monitor, studio.
• Full money back guarantee: 100% satisfied or your money back!

Have you set yourself a goal for this year with your golf?  It doesn’t have to be to reduce your handicap – you can aim to meet a different crowd, get out of bunkers first time, lose fewer balls or hit the ball further.

Well I’m sure you realise you can’t always get that kind of improvement in just one lesson, but neither do you need to practice your socks off!

Quality not quantity is the answer.

“BUT WAIT!  How come golfers who have been on the Academy in the past, DO INDEED rectify faults in future years in just one lesson?”

That’s a phenomenon that is only experienced by those who have taken coaching.  Once you’ve developed the proper basics and have a better knowledge of what will make a difference to YOUR game, you stop fiddling around with all those zillions of swing thoughts that you hear, or read or simply make up!  It’s then much, much easier to correct a fault at a future date.

Have you ever heard these comments before:

“I’m not going for lessons – I’m too stuck in my ways to change”

So, you’ve never tried doing something new out of interest during the round?  Some article you read or a tip you overheard?  You’ve never admired the rhythm of a better golfer you’ve been paired with and found it rubbing off on you, improving your own game? 

“I’ve tried to change my grip/swing in the past and it made me worse”

The biggest myth is that coaching will involve a swing change or a grip change.  Do you think Butch Harmon changes Phil Mickelson’s swing on the practice ground at The Masters?  He’s providing coaching and improving his play but he’s certainly not changing anything – coaching isn’t about that.  It’s about identifying your strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and tendencies and working towards the stage where you can take responsibility for your own improvement – the ultimate goal is to OWN YOUR GAME.

“I’m not going for lessons – they’re too technical”

The three most damaging pieces of golf instruction that you will ever hear (Which you will never hear from a good coach, but will very often hear being passed between club golfers) are these:

1. Keep your head down
2. Keep your left arm straight
3. Swing slowly.

How overly technical is that!  You teach Lee Westwood to do those three things and I’ll happily play him for £1000 (Well maybe a tenner)

We use imagery, visual aids, learning aids, humour – just about anything to get the FEELING across to the pupil.  If technique is talked about its like sitting down to watch your TV.  You may know how it works and why it works, you may not – but who cares as long as you enjoy it!

Due to the pre-booking nature of the Achievement Through Commitment Academy Programme, spaces are limited, don’t let the golfers who travel miles to see me pinch your places!

Achievement Through Commitment costs £320 for 8 lessons which means one of the lessons is free of charge.  Click here to book your place.

Of course if you’re still not sure whether the Academy is for you, or whether you’d like to work on your game with less commitment why not make use of one of our other options:

• Mini-Academy – 4 lessons, with a 10% discount - £162
• Game and Equipment Assessment - £30
