A new approach to golf improvement
Golf training camp on the market are not for everyone. Generally intensive, too much information can be disruptive. They are often not suitable for your family or compatible with your work.

Take your putting to the next level in a short time
As a highly accomplished Tour golf pro, I firmly believe that improving your putting is easy and fun. Putting makes up about 30% to 40% of your game, yet very few players take the time to truly understand it and specifically train for it. But why miss out on such a crucial aspect of golf ? Lack of time or information ? Our specific focus on putting will really make a difference to your game.
I’ll personally analyse your stroke and provide you with guidance. You’ll learn to read, feel and visualise your putts like never before. My years of top-level competition and my talent as a player will help you discover a whole new perspective on putting. This perfect blend of technique and feeling will give you a fresh approach to this wonderful part of the game. The technical part of putting will be worked on the synthetic green at the property.

Understand course management
Playing together will help you understand certain aspects of your game and make it easier to save a few stokes per round.
