Testimonials

See what they say!

“Paul has kept me going during my time playing this extremely frustrating game! Regular coaching using the video analysis has helped massively especially been able to review the lessons afterwards as a reminder.”

“Being away on tour for weeks at a time means I can send my swing over at anytime if I feel that something is not quite right or sometimes I just need confirmation that everything is looking good.”

Ladies European Tour Player

Feliicity

“From the day I started Paul has been very patient and through regular coaching I am now playing 18 holes and loving it. Couldn't have done it without the academy membership.”

FAQ

  • Do I need any golf knowledge?

    Not at all. On the beginners academy no prior knowledge is necessary, we will explain everything.

  • What equipment do I need?

    We'll run through this but ideally at least a couple of clubs to begin with, a putter and a 7 iron. You will require more clubs as the course progress's. The intermediate and advanced courses we would expect you to have a set of golf clubs.

  • How do I access the course?

    You can access the course from any desktop computer, tablet or smartphone device with an internet connection. Our software is also very clever and remembers your progress so you don't have to remember where you last finished.

  • How does the 30 day money back guarantee work?

    Hopefully you'll love it as we guide you into golf or help you become a better golfer. But if for some reason you decide it's not for you, you can get a full refund of your course within 30 days of your enrolment on 12 month course memberships. You can cancel your membership at any time but if you cancel after 30 days you will not receive a refund. If you are paying monthly you can cancel at anytime, you will not receive a refund but your monthly subscription will stop. Unfortunately once you have cancelled you will loose access to your course, your PGA Professional and the community group.
