1:1 Golf Coaching Sessions

Precision, not opinion. I integrate biomechanics, psychology, and performance identity so changes hold under pressure. I measure, I don’t guess — and I include all technology as standard in every session length.

How I Work — The Three Pillars, One System

My job is clarity. When golfers bounce between coaches, YouTube tips, and swing theories, they don’t lack effort — they lack a coherent system. I coach through three inseparable pillars:

1) Biomechanics — measurable movement, not model chasing

I’m not trying to squeeze you into a template. I analyse how you move, what’s functional under pressure, and which tiny refinements produce outsize gains. That might mean clarifying face-to-path relations, stabilising low point, cleaning strike patterning, timing ground pressure, or simplifying sequencing so the arms and body cooperate instead of compete.

2) Psychology — helping the brain allow change

Mechanics collapse if your state spikes. I train simple, repeatable routines that regulate arousal and attention so your swing arrives when you need it. I’ll teach you how to reset after mistakes and how to interpret shots in a way that builds resilience rather than erodes confidence.

3) Performance Identity — who you believe you are on the course

If your hidden identity is “I’m the player who blows up under pressure,” you’ll eventually prove it right. I help you shift identity toward something you can enact and measure (e.g., “I reset faster than anyone else on this course”). Identity drives behaviour. Behaviour drives outcome.

The outcome? Subtle adjustments that feel natural, hold under pressure, and show up on the card — without pulling you apart or loading you with jargon. You keep what works. We refine what matters.

Who These Sessions Serve Best

Competitive Amateurs & Team Players

  • Performance dips under pressure; round fades late.
  • Conflicting advice leads to tinkering and inconsistency.
  • Want clear pre-shot routines, strike stability, dispersion control, and a calmer mind on the back nine.

Senior Golfers (50s, 60s, 70s+)

  • Distance changed; joints feel different; rhythm varies.
  • Need efficiency: balance, rhythm, centre-face strike, and realistic launch windows.
  • Prefer minimal rebuilds, measurable gains, and equipment/ball choices that match today’s speed.

Late Starters / Returning Golfers

  • Want a simple system that makes sense and avoids rabbit holes.
  • Need drills that transfer quickly to the course and confidence that grows with evidence.

I don’t guess. I measure. And I protect what already works while refining only what truly matters.

Technology — Included as Standard

Every session includes technology as needed. I use tools to audit progress, not to overwhelm you. Examples:

  • Ball-flight / impact diagnostics to clarify face, path, launch, and spin windows.
  • High-speed / multi-angle video for pattern recognition and sequencing clarity.
  • Putting roll & face stability checks when the flatstick is the priority.
  • Simple physical screens to match motion to mobility and comfort.

Use of technology is always purposeful: confirm the cause, not collect noise. Evidence replaces opinion; progress becomes visible.

Session Formats & Booking

30 Minutes — Targeted Tune-Up

Best for: One clear issue that needs immediate clarity (face control on wedges, a recurring start-line miss, first-tee routine).

What we do: Rapid measure-diagnose-coach cycle: establish the true cause, coach one high-leverage fix, and give you a drill that transfers.

Outcome: A single, precise improvement you can apply today — without adding noise.

Book 30-Minute Session

45 Minutes — Focused Development

Best for: One or two areas that need a little more depth (strike + low point; driver start-line + tee-box routine).

What we do: Measure, coach, reinforce with a short progression (slow-motion reps → tempo reps → task under gentle pressure).

Outcome: Cleaner cause-effect understanding and a mini practice plan for the week.

Book 45-Minute Session

1 Hour — Comprehensive Single Session

Best for: A complete read on one performance domain (full swing / short game / putting) with on-the-spot improvement.

What we do: Baseline → root cause → build one or two refinements → consolidate with behaviour/routine so it holds up on the course.

Outcome: A clear hierarchy of priorities and drills matched to your feel and identity.

Book 1-Hour Session

90 Minutes — Deep Performance Session

Best for: Players who want change to “stick.” Enough time to measure, teach, test under challenge, and stabilise with routines.

What we do: Technical refinement + pressure rehearsal (time-on-task ladders, consequence reps, or simple competition constraints).

Outcome: Patterns begin to survive arousal and attention shifts. Your brain starts to allow the new swing.

Book 90-Minute Session

2 Hours — Intensive Development

Best for: Breaking entrenched habits; integrating biomechanics with psychology and identity in one sitting.

What we do: Baseline → root cause → refine → on-course simulations or situational tasks → record key feels and cues.

Outcome: A noticeable upgrade in strike or flight plus a routine that protects it when pressure rises.

Book 2-Hour Session

3 Hours — Half-Day Intensive

Best for: Comprehensive transformation within a chosen domain (e.g., driver architecture end-to-end or total putting system).

What we do: Measure → rebuild → pressure-test → consolidate → map a two-week practice plan with checkpoints.

Outcome: A system you trust, not a pile of tips. Expect less noise, stronger identity, cleaner performance.

Book 3-Hour Session

Half Day (4 Hours) — Immersive Transformation

Best for: Full integration across swing + short game or total putting with green reading, pace, and roll audits.

What we do: Deep rebuild plus on-course application or simulated decision-making; record key sections for later review.

Outcome: A cohesive “player system” — movement, state control, and intentions aligned.

Book Half-Day Session

Full Day (8 Hours) — Total Game Overhaul

Best for: Serious change across the board or pre-event preparation. Includes on-course coaching when available.

What we do: Morning: baselines + rebuild. Afternoon: pressure simulations, strategy, and identity consolidation. Breaks paced to keep the brain receptive.

Outcome: A new ceiling — with practice and reset routines to keep it there.

Book Full-Day Session

How to Choose Your Session Length

If you want one fix today → 30 or 45 minutes.

If you want a clearer map and immediate improvement → 60 minutes.

If you want change that begins to survive pressure → 90 minutes.

If you need to break a stubborn pattern → 2 hours.

If you want a complete domain rebuild → 3–4 hours.

If you want total integration → 8 hours.

If you’re a senior golfer focusing on efficiency (balance, rhythm, centre-face strike, launch windows), 60–90 minutes is the sweet spot for quick, honest gains without fatigue.

Aftercare & Between-Session Support

  • Lesson recordings (key clips or full segments) so your brain can learn it twice — once live, once calmly at home.
  • Mini practice plans with precise intentions (balance hold → rhythm count → centred strike) and task-based progressions.
  • Questions welcome between sessions — I’d rather answer two quick messages than watch you drift off-course.

This is about transfer: from bay to fairway, from range to round. Evidence replaces opinion; clarity replaces doubt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you use technology in every session?

Yes. Technology is included as standard when it helps answer the question at hand — ball-flight diagnostics, high-speed video, and simple physical screens. I use tech to confirm the cause and prove progress, not to drown you in data.

Can senior golfers benefit from short sessions?

Absolutely. Seniors often see immediate, honest gains by focusing on balance, rhythm, centre-face strike, and realistic launch windows. 60–90 minutes tends to deliver the best change-to-fatigue ratio.

Will you rebuild my swing?

No by default. I protect what works and refine what truly matters. If a rebuild is necessary, it’s done in clear, measurable layers with identity support so it survives pressure.

Can I combine on-course coaching with a session?

Yes, when scheduling and course access align. Half-day and full-day formats are best for on-course application, decision-making, and pressure rehearsal.

What should I bring?

Clubs you actually use, golf shoes, any recent stats or scorecards, and an open mind. If putting is a priority, bring your current ball.

Do you offer longer-term coaching?

Yes — see my Coaching Packages and Coaching Programs for multi-session and periodised options.
