1st April 2025 - 31st March 2026
Overview
Our structured beginners’ Academy is a one-year programme designed for newcomers to the game, helping them progressively build their skills, confidence, and on-course experience.
Learning in twelve one-hour group coaching sessions, with a maximum of ten people, over sixteen weeks, it follows a phased approach, gradually increasing course access with new challenges, focusing on consistency and pace of play.
Key Elements
- Skill Progression: Starting with short game fundamentals - putting, chipping, pitching - before moving on to the full swing, course management, and etiquette.
- Measured Progress: Consolidating acquired skills through practice drills.
- On-Course Experience: Progress checks for phased access to the course.
- Scoring & Performance Goals: Clear targets for hole completion and scoring to build confidence, competence, and pace of play.
- Handicap Readiness: The final phase focuses on developing scoring ability with greater access to the course in preparation for obtaining a globally recognised handicap.
Goal
To equip you with the skills and confidence to fully engage in every aspect of this challenging and rewarding game!
