Coaching Philosophy
Qualified PGA Professional Coach
I help golfers improve by understanding the skills that control ball flight, rather than chasing swing positions that don't hold up on the course.
What You Can Expect
✔ Personalised coaching built around your goals and ability
✔ A simple, practical approach to improvement
✔ Clear understanding of what the ball is doing and why
✔ Targeted swing changes only when they add value
✔ Video feedback and analysis after every lesson
✔ A personalised practice plan to help you improve between sessions
My Goal
To help you:
✔ Understand your golf swing
✔ Understand your ball flight
✔ Practice with purpose
✔ Build skills that transfer to the course
✔ Become less reliant on constant technical fixes
✔ Play better golf with more confidence
Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced golfer looking for greater consistency, my aim is simple:
Help you understand your game better, so you can play better golf.

Does my child need their own golf clubs?
No. If they don't have clubs, simply email john@huntercombegolfshop.co.uk after booking with your child's name and age, and I'll bring a suitable set for them to borrow.
Do they need any golfing experience?
Not at all. Junior coaching is suitable for complete beginners through to experienced junior golfers.
Can parents stay and watch?
Of course. Parents are very welcome to stay throughout the lesson.
What should my child wear?
Comfortable clothing and trainers are absolutely fine. Golf shoes aren't essential for a first lesson but if we ever go onto the course, correct golfing clothing should be worn.
Where do lessons take place?
Lessons can take place on the driving range, putting green, short game area and, where appropriate, out on the golf course.

Testimonials
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“John provides pragmatic and practical advice and demonstration without overcomplicating matters and in particular making his coaching appropriate for you. He is friendly , knowledgable and has a very good sense of humour”
— I Daly⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Had a lesson with John on bunker play and he explains, at least for me, in simple terms what I need to do. My philosophy is to keep things "simple" and that's what John did. He video's the sequence and I can then check this out for future golf.”
— J Taylor⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Had a brilliant few hours with John today. My intention was to go in and focus on helping with my over the top swing, and its very difficult for me to eliminate it completely so we worked on turning it into a nice controlled fade and we managed to do so with some super simple steps. Very friendly and I would recommend to anyone!”
