Sport Instruction & Coaching

Professional Golf Coaching

Coaching is a mix of on course playing sessions and off course purposeful practice sessions. This allows the coach the time to work on exactly what is wrong your game. It could be anything, but most importantly it will be exactly what they need based on the playing session which is why golf tips and coaching is vital to improve as a player.

Instructional Videos

Tour players are way more talented than you are, and they do things physically you can only dream about. And yes, the angles they show on television might not always provide the most technically relevant look at a swing.

But you can improve your game by watching the best players play, provided you use the correct filter. “As long as you understand that video—and still images have their limitations and what those limitations are, there’s still a ton to see and learn. You’re not going to necessarily see the small movements of the hands down by the ball, but you can get a great sense of the overall body motion.”

Best Tips For Golfers

1. Improve Your Golf Grip

We think arguably the most important part of the golf swing for beginners is the grip.

If you don’t understand how to grip the golf club correctly, and you’ll have real trouble being able to make decent shots and respectable scores when you start playing on a course.

First of all, when you go to hold a golf club, make sure you do it from the side, rather than underneath the golf club.

One way to get a good feel for how your hands should move towards the golf club is to go into your golf posture and then clap your hands together.

Gripping the golf club from underneath can cause some serious problems, so we want to avoid that.

2. Make sure the club face opens in the backswing

Piers uses a tennis racket to demonstrate what should be happening to the club face as you move through your golf swing.

In your backswing, your club face should point AWAY from you.

As you move and strike the ball, the club face should point towards the TARGET.

Then as you rotate through the ball into your finish, the club face should point BEHIND you.

The biggest issue we see with some golfers is trying to keep the club face pointing at the ball all the time.

Their concept is ‘to hit it straight, I need to swing it straight’ but that’s not the case.

The same applies for the arc of your golf swing. Lots of people try to swing straight backwards in order to hit it straight.

However, we actually want to swing back on an upward arc, followed by a downward arc on the way down which should be close to the arc you made on the way up. Then as you swing through, this should be on an upward arc around the body.

3. Turn - Shit - Turn

A really simple tip that you can use at home without a golf club is to practice the turn – shift – turn drill.

Put your hands across your shoulders and stand in your golf posture looking down over a golf ball or an imaginary golf ball if you don’t have one to hand.

Then you’re going to turn in your backswing so your back is facing the target.
