Why Coaching?
Each one of our team of Pros are passionate about helping you play better golf. Head Pros Joe and Mark oversee all coaching and are supported by our Assistant Professionals Tony and Max
Every golfer enjoys the game more when they’re hitting good shots and playing well. This is our mission for you.
As coaches and fitters, we are extremely experienced and have a strong track record in helping golfers of all abilities improve and reach their goals, whether it be by improving technique to hit it further, straighter, chip and pitch better or hole more putts, we can help!
Our coaching philosophy built through years of experience and thousands of lessons is - in order to turn you into the best golfer you can be we must develop solid fundamentals whilst also acknowledging every golfer is different. We aim to keep every lesson as simple as possible for the golfer and aim to work on one thing at a time, get it right and then move on rather than throw several changes in all at once that your brain and body cant process in the short time the golf swing takes. We look to ensure 3 simple pillars to every single lesson:
1- We decide on the required change needed. 2 - You understand why we are making this change and the benefits it will have. 3 - You understand how to make this change and also the best ways to work on it.
In our coaching we constantly work to advance our own knowledge through our own research and our methods are backed up by the finest technology to make your experience as beneficial as possible. Currently we use a GCQuad launch monitor alongside our pressure mat and various other training aids.
Lessons will cover:
- Golf Fundamentals
- Swing Basics
- Short Game
- Long Game
- Course Management

Joe Ellis - Head PGA Professional
PGA Head Professional with over 10 years experience coaching and fitting. I am driven to help you find the best way forwards with your golf as well as working to always improve my own knowledge and methods. Throughout the years I have developed my own coaching techniques that I have implemented to help a wide range of golfers from beginners to other pros. I use a combination of data and knowledge to get the most out of your game. I also still compete professionally myself and enjoy working at my own game and am always striving to improve which is also a big benefit to furthering my coaching by always staying up to date with new coaching ideas.Alongside Mark Talbott we have also developed many coaching plans and ideas where we work together to help you get the most out of your game such as packages where you have access to both of our ideas and knowledge, overseas coaching trips and more. Between the two of us and our team we can be sure to offer some of the most comprehensive and beneficial coaching and fitting services around.
