The Golf Shaq offers something a little different, not simply a 'golf lesson' but an experience that will leave you energised to play golf. For serious golfers that aim to improve we offer structured programs that are not a 'quick fix'. Coaching programs can be designed to improve every aspect of your game and provides you, the client, with the data in the palm of your hand so you can track your progress. If you want to play seriously better golf, you have to work in a way that will promote it.
As well as a first class coaching experience we also offer a comprehensive range of services which focus around you, the golfer.

'Self Realisation is the key to progress!'

By utilising the very best technology, your coaching experience can be as simple or as technical as you want it. It is nothing new, everyone learns differently and what is good for one person may not be as beneficial to another. This is why we always offer a full assessment of every client before any coaching commences. At the Golf Shaq there are numerous features that allow us to achieve the very best environment for our customers to 'self realise', and not to simply get bogged down with the technical data that often leads to confusion. This means that the clarity gained during a session can only lead to an accelerated rate of understanding and in turn your improvement.

The same technology allows a first class custom fitting service and is recommended by all major brands. Ensuring that when your new clubs or even your current equipment tweaked to suit, you are gaining the tools to achieve the very best you can in order to play your best.
