Testimonials

"I have been playing golf for about 10 years and have had a few lessons previously and if I'm honest seen little improvement from them. Steve has made all the difference to my game. I feel that as well as making changes he illustrates very clearly why he's making the changes and what difference it makes to the end result. I think the fact that I have lost 8 shots of my handicap in one year tells the story."

-Chris Fenton, Belper

"Deciding to take lessons with Steve was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my golfing career so far. He built me a solid and consistent swing which helped me gain extra yards, controlled ball flight and more importantly lower my handicap. A great coach. Highly recommended ."

-Andy Henderson, Oakmere Park

"Steve is a very patient teacher, taking on a new pupil with a history of back injuries and a loss of confidence.I left each lesson enthused by my new skills and gradually my confidence increased.He works at your pace and ability and is very supportive in all that you do"

-Susan Wilding, Ashbourne Golf Club

"Great instructor who transformed someone who was defeated mentally after one bad shot, to a positive relaxed golfer. Since taking lessons from Steve my swing and scores have improved dramatically as well as my enjoyment of the game"

- Andrew Beckett, Brailsford Golf Club

I am only an occasional golfer, but after only two lessons with Steve I have been taking money off my friends who are regular golfers. He identified the key things that needed altering immediately, showed me the way and encouraged. I'll definately be back for further lessons, a great help.

- Carl Wardle, Nottingham

Having taking up golf in the summer of 2008 it soon became apparant that lessons were needed. A friend reccommended that I contact Steve, which I did. I arrived for my first lesson feeling nervous as I did not know what to expect, I can honestly say he put me at my ease immediatley.

Steve quickly identified areas where improvements could be made i.e. my grip and stance, having made these adjustments there has been a notable improvement in my swing. Further lessons have helped reduce my slice and thought process over which club to use. I not only find the lessons useful but they are enjoyable as Steve takes an interest in the person. I now look forward to the lessons and wioll shortly have the confidence to attempt more difficult courses

- Andrew Varney, Morley

I have to admit I was a little scepticalas to how much I would benefit from a bit of coaching. However, Steve's pragmatic approach helped me progress my game dramatically in a short space of time. With Steve's guidance I began to understand and look at the game in a completely new way. Steve's a great guy and a great coach.

Steve really has changed my game and shown me how to play golf properly. He is a great teacher with fantastic techniques and a great personality which is the perfect combination. As long as the student puts the time and effort in then they are going to see great results and a better handicap.

- James Platt, Ashbourne GC

 I have had a number of one to one lessons with Steve and have been really impressed with his professionalism and approach. Steve understands the technical aspects of the game and was quick to identify what I needed to focus on to achieve greater consistency. He sorted out my stance, posture and grip which gave me the basics to improve my game. However Steve is much more than a technical expert he understands some of the 'frustrations' of the game and the importance of adopting the right mind set. He has a great personal approach and has done wonders for my confidence. Steve really cares about his clients and wants them to develop and enjoy their game. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

- Paul Yorke, Derby Golf Club

Steve has taught me so much, his clear cut approach and professionalism is what makes his lessons so informative and enjoyable. The benefits are clear to see back on the course, we all know the basics but putting them into practice is always the difficult bit, and Steve always shows howconcentration, relaxation and PRACTICE make the difference.

- Vanessa Salthouse, Pebel Leisure

Steve's teaching style has helped me develope into a better player,he not only teaches you the golf swing but also the fact that the mental side of the game is important. I do not see him as my teacher but as my Coach,since starting lessons at the end of last year i have reduced my handicap from 6.0 to 4.5 in one session,and winning 3 majors and 2 medals at my home course. Having started my lessons for the winter period i cant wait to see what will happen to my game next year. Watch out tiger here i come.

- Leon Lewis, Ashbourne Golf Club

"Great teacher, understood what I wanted to achieve and made it happen. This winter will work on getting down to my ultimate goal of single figure handicap. Thanks Steve - appreciate your help".

-Paul Cook, Ashbourne GC Captain 2007

 "What a difference… having struggled over a number of years through a lack of any natural ability and constant battles within my own head, my game began to come together, at least in patches. Going to Steve for a series of lessons last year really helped me onto the next stage. He was able to quickly point out some subtle changes which have made a significant difference to my game and improved my consistency, in a positive way. Lessons are also an enjoyable experience with Steve, he’s easy to get on with and enthusiastic, and he applies the technology available appropriately to help us mortals learn from the masters.”�

-Mike Weightman, Morley Hayes

I started lessons with Steve about six months ago when my game was getting gradually and to my mind inexplicably worse, I'd been as low as 8 but found myself struggling at 11. Steve not only began to address my swing and posture but also attacked my main demon which was self confidence and lack of belief. He's patient, very observant, perceptive and knowledgeable and to my mind an extremely good golfing coach and probably more importantly a friend.

 Following each lesson Steve gives me just one or at the most two things to work and practise on rather than confusing me with too many thoughts. An excellent coach who I have no intention of changing and have confidence will get my game back to where I want it to be
