Golf Coaching in Dorset and Online
Chris Brook specialises in four areas of the game: 3D golf biomechanics, golf psychology, the short game and putting. Each is coached through the Clarity Method, so the technical problem, the golfer’s response and the demands of the course are understood together. Sessions, packages, programmes and online coaching are the ways to work on them.
Core Specialisms
Most golfers come to Chris for one of these four. Each has its own page explaining what is measured, how sessions work and who it suits.
How the body moves, how the club is delivered and why the ball behaves as it does, measured rather than guessed. Chris studies the individual instead of forcing a model swing, separating stabilising patterns from compensations that limit strike, speed and face control.
For golfers whose game is in adversity: form gone, confidence collapsed, golf a struggle. The work does not chase the game you have lost. It rebuilds from where you are now, with a bulletproof performance mind that holds under pressure.
Chipping, pitching, bunker play and wedge play inside 100 yards, coached on two fronts: the technique to produce each shot, and the V.E.R.T. read that decides which shot to play from the lie in front of you.

A missed putt is an outcome, not a diagnosis. Stroke delivery, strike, launch, roll, pace, perception and pressure are measured and interpreted together, so the real cause is separated from the visible miss.
Individual Sessions
Every session is specialised. Biomechanics, performance psychology and relevant technology are brought in as the problem requires, whatever the length. A longer session is not automatically better; it is useful when the task needs more observation, exploration or integration. Current prices, dates and available durations are shown on the live booking calendar.
| Session | Best suited to | What the time allows |
|---|---|---|
| 30 minutes | A tightly defined priority, usually for an established client. | A concise review, one focused intervention and a clear next practice task. |
| 45 minutes | A familiar golfer or one contained swing, short-game or putting question. | Time to observe, coach and retest one principal area without widening the scope. |
| 60 minutes | Focused development within one performance domain. | A baseline, explanation, coached refinement and an initial practice structure. |
| 90 minutes Recommended first session |
A new client, a broader history or an issue that needs proper investigation. | Enough space to collect relevant information, identify the priority, coach it and verify the first response without rushing. |
| 2 hours | A more established or interacting pattern that needs deeper development. | Additional time to compare solutions, work across related skills and expose the refinement to greater variability. |
| 3 hours | An intensive investigation of one chosen domain. | A detailed assessment, coached progression, appropriate breaks and a more complete development plan. |
| Half day | Several connected priorities or studio work combined with practical application. | Time to move between assessment, coaching, testing and—where arranged—course or specialist work. |
| Full day | Comprehensive work for golfers travelling farther or preparing a wider performance programme. | A paced day across agreed areas, with breaks, review and a structured set of priorities rather than an attempt to change everything at once. |
Choosing Well
These are practical starting points, not rigid categories. If two routes seem equally suitable, use the contact page and describe what is happening in your game.
| Your current need | Best place to begin |
|---|---|
| You want to understand how you move, deliver the club and create ball flight. | 3D Biomechanics |
| Your game is in adversity: form has gone, confidence has collapsed or it changes under pressure. | Golf Psychology |
| You lose shots around the green, through technique, shot choice or both. | Short Game Coaching |
| Your putting is inconsistent in line, pace or under pressure. | Advanced Putting |
| You are unsure what the real problem is or what deserves priority. | Performance Assessment |
| You need several sessions, or a longer plan with staged review. | Session Packages or Long-Term Programmes |
| You cannot travel to Dorset but want live technical support. | Online Golf Coaching |
More Ways to Work Together
These are the formats for working on the core specialisms, plus further services for specific needs. You do not need to diagnose yourself perfectly before booking.
Best when you need the problem clarified, want help with a specific area or are working with Chris for the first time.
A broader baseline of movement, delivery, strike, ball flight, physical capacity and performance patterns. Choose this when you need to establish what should be protected, what needs changing and what should come first.
Studio sessions from 30 minutes to a full day for biomechanics, short game, putting or a defined performance issue. Every session applies the same diagnostic standard; only the length changes with the depth of the task.
Best when the work needs continuity, staged development or support beyond a single appointment.
Multi-session packages for golfers who want an organised block of work without committing to a complete long-term programme.
Periodised development for deeper technical, physical and performance work, with review points that allow the plan to evolve as the golfer changes.
Live remote coaching and structured video analysis for golfers who need serious technical support without travelling to Dorset.
Focused visits, intensive blocks and remote follow-up for golfers travelling from outside the UK or combining studio and online work.
For golfers with a specific equipment, physical or age-related need.
A fitting process that considers lie angle balance, head shape, specifications, feel and how the putter interacts with the golfer’s aim, setup and motion.
Golf-specific strength, mobility, balance and force-development work connected to the golfer’s movement strategy and ball-flight requirements.
Coaching that respects changes in mobility, strength, speed, recovery and confidence while protecting the movement that still works.
Why Work With Chris Brook?
For more than 30 years, Chris Brook has investigated why golfers can possess knowledge and skill yet lose access to both when pressure, speed, uncertainty or personal consequence rises.
That work now connects biomechanics, performance psychology and performance identity through the Chris Brook Clarity Method. Technology and analysis are used to see the problem more accurately; the golfer should leave with fewer priorities, not more noise.
Players coached include tour professionals, England international Jenson Bull and Lee James (former Walker Cup player, Amateur Champion, Challenge Tour Order of Merit winner and European Tour professional), as well as county players and keen golfers.
His core specialisms are 3D golf biomechanics, golf psychology, the short game and putting. Chris is the author of Quiet the Mind, Lower the Score, Why Can’t I Just Do It? and the forthcoming short-game book Read It Before You Hit It, and works with adult golfers in the Dorset studio, online and through international coaching arrangements.
The Chris Brook Clarity Method
The equipment and emphasis may change, but the diagnostic standard does not. The aim is to understand the golfer accurately enough that coaching becomes simpler, more personal and more useful.
Movement, force, club delivery, strike and ball flight are examined to distinguish what is functional from what is genuinely limiting performance.
Attention, perception, expectation, emotional response and decision-making are considered because the pattern must remain available when the task carries consequence.
The meaning the golfer attaches to score, mistakes and comparison is examined where it influences behaviour, trust and access to skill.
What Working Together Looks Like
The exact tools depend on the service. The logic of the work remains consistent.
We begin with what you experience, what you have tried and when the pattern changes.
Relevant movement, strike, ball-flight, putting, physical or performance information is gathered.
The work is narrowed to the smallest useful intervention, with a clear reason and training structure.
The change is exposed to speed, variability, decision-making or consequence and reviewed from evidence.
Common Questions
Four areas: 3D golf biomechanics, golf psychology, the short game and putting. Each has its own page explaining what is measured and how sessions work. Individual sessions, packages, long-term programmes and online coaching are the formats for working on them.
If you have one clearly defined issue, an individual session may be enough; 90 minutes is normally recommended for a first visit. If several parts of the game are interacting or you do not yet know the true cause, the performance assessment provides a broader starting point.
A traditional lesson often starts with the visible fault and gives a fix or swing position. Here, the lesson starts with diagnosis: how you move, how the club is delivered, what the ball does and how your golf changes under pressure are considered together. Technology such as 3D motion capture, high-speed video and ball-flight tracking is used when it helps answer a question. The aim is a change that lasts on the course, not just a better few shots in the lesson.
Individual sessions start at £45 for 30 minutes. Longer sessions, performance assessments, packages and specialist services are priced on the live booking page.
Yes. Current sessions, durations, prices and available dates are shown on the live booking page. Use the contact page first only if you are unsure which route is appropriate.
No. The services are for adult golfers who take their development seriously. Playing level matters less than whether you want to understand the problem and work through an organised process.
Yes. Online and international routes are available. The best format depends on the task, the video or data available and whether a future studio visit forms part of the plan.
No. Relevant technology is available without a separate analysis charge, but it is used only when it helps answer the question. The standard is not how much data can be collected, but whether the information improves diagnosis, coaching or verification.
Not automatically. The Clarity Method begins by protecting what is functional and identifying the true barrier. Technical change is introduced only where it has a clear purpose.
Bring the clubs and golf ball you normally use, golf shoes, and any relevant recent information such as scorecards, shot patterns or launch-monitor data. You do not need to diagnose the problem before arriving.
In-person sessions are delivered at Chris Brook’s private performance studio near Bournemouth in Dorset, by appointment.
