Why Coaching?

Here at Fairwood park and Gowerton Golf Range, we’re passionate about helping you play better golf.

Every golfer enjoys the game more when they’re hitting good shots and playing well. This is our mission for you.

Think back to your last few rounds and try to pinpoint an area that cost you shots…

Maybe, you had too many three-putts as a result of poor distance control? Or did you miss too many fairways to the right meaning you had to chip out sideways? It could be that you play well in practice rounds with your friends but struggle to replicate that in competitions?

Through our experiences in the game and our PGA education, we appreciate that every golfer is different. That’s why we offer a range of lessons and packages to suit everyone.

Lessons will cover:

  • Golf Fundamentals
  • Swing Basics
  • Short Game
  • Long Game
  • Course Management
  • Playing Lessson

The footage will be analysed subsequently and compared with the swing of a professional golfer, also on video. Seeing and analysing your swing provides visual feedback with a view to studying and improving your technique. The system gives a crystal clear image in slow motion, pause or at normal speed.
