How it works
Golfers begin by booking a starter package. This consists of 2 sixty minute sessions designed to provide a comprehensive profile of you as a golfer and a person. It helps us get to know each other, understand your goals, and assess your strengths and areas for improvement.
​
Amateur and youth golfers tend to then need 6-12 sessions to make progress with their plan. These sessions are typically spaced out every 2 weeks. This gives you time to complete homework exercises that typically involve practicing some mental skills that will help you make progress with your plan.
​
For professional golfers, support is provided on a monthly ongoing basis, structured around your own individual needs and schedule.
