Golf coaching is all about you and what you want to get out of your game. We pride ourselves on being good listeners and aim to provide the best possible professional advice, whilst ensuring each lesson is tailored and enjoyable for the golfer.

Why Coaching?

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

Matt Lawes - PGA Assistant Professional

Hi I am Matt and I was lucky enough to join the fabulous West Hill in 2020 as a Trainee PGA Professional. Move on a few years and I have successfully passed the PGA and become an Assistant PGA Professional at the club. I truly love golf and am constantly thinking about it, I use this love and passion for the game to inspire and enthuse others on their own golfing journey. After passing the PGA I have continued to develop my knowledge and skills, for recent examples I am working with Vertex putting and spent a day with Graham Walker Master PGA Professional. My favorite day of the week is Saturday as I run extremely popular junior golf group sessions with over 40 kids of all ages and abilities, this continues to grow with greater plans still to come. At the heart of my teaching style is fun, and the beauty of golf is that everyone finds there fun from golf differently. Whether it be to win a competition, lower your handicap, hit a type of shot you didn't think possible, different strategic options or just straighten out a miss, I promise to make the learning fun, engaging and relevant.Thank you for reading this bio and hopefully your feeling inspired to make golf even more fun then please do reach out and book a lesson.Kind regards,Matt
