About Tailored Swing

My aim,
your swing

A golfer finishing a drive at sunrise down a tree lined fairway

We all have differing physiques, degrees of flexibility, strength, natural rhythm and co-ordination. Finding a way to hit the ball that works for you is the key. As an EGTF professional golf coach, I will be working with you to improve and tailor every aspect of your golf game, both in physical and mental preparation, so that you can enjoy the consistency and accuracy you desire on the golf course.

A profiling system will be used during the first session, taking into consideration your golfing experience, weaknesses and strengths, physical injuries and limitations, your aims and desires in your game, and any specific areas you want to work on.

We know there is no such thing as the perfect golf swing. However, the aim of Tailored Swing is to work with what you have and what you are capable of, and transform that into a personal “perfect swing” which you can easily replicate for greater results.

In order to make the adjustments flow with the natural motion of your personal golf swing, a “hands on learning” approach is needed for you to feel what your body needs to do. Results are highlighted with the use of a golf simulator and changes made appropriately.

Throughout the coaching sessions, training aids and golf drills will be introduced as they form a vital part of establishing and strengthening your new personal perfect swing. Over time, we will work together on moving your adjusted body movements and feelings from the conscious to the subconscious mind, so that your personal perfect swing comes naturally.

1. Evaluation

An initial player evaluation and consultation, assessing your strengths and weaknesses and how you want to approach your lessons.

2. Your personal file

A personal file is created, and continued use of the golf simulator analyses data to chart your progress.

3. Take home plan

The recommended course of action and golfing drills are emailed to you as a reference.

4. Flexible time

You are in the driving seat. Lessons can run from 20 minutes for a quick refresher to an hour or more. You pay for 45 minute slots and any unused minutes carry over.

The method

Progression coaching, not packages

Coaching is not entirely goal based. Everyone is different and learns in different ways and at different speeds, so we progress through your game one step at a time, at the pace that suits you.

01

Distance control

Know how far each club goes, and hit it that far on demand.

02

Shot shape control

Guide the ball flight you have, rather than fight it.

03

Consistency and routine

A repeatable process before every shot, on the range and on the course.

04

Short game

Chipping, pitching and bunkers, where most shots are saved.

05

Putting accuracy

Line, pace and a stroke you can trust under pressure.

06

Course management

Smarter decisions that lower scores without changing your swing.

Control, not conversion. The aim is not to turn a slicer into a drawer. It is to help you control your ball flight with a shape you can repeat with ease, typically a slice becoming a baby fade, with more distance and accuracy.

From an 84 year old who nearly gave up to a county player, here is what tailored coaching looks like in practice.

Case study · Best student

Jing: from 36.9 to 6.7 in three and a half years

Jing, my wife, started golf in April 2023 with a handicap of 36.9. Through progressive coaching, with constant adjusting and readjusting of different parts of her game, she is now off 6.7. In her early 40s, there is still so much room for growth.

  • Won six to seven club trophies in each of the last two years
  • Started playing for the county team this year
  • Fitted with new irons, woods and a driver, and loves her current Qi35 driver

Senior · Strength and swing

Arthur, 84

About to give up golf because he could not hit the ball properly any more.

Coaching
Weekly sessions, starting slowly, with stretches, drills and strengthening exercises. A shorter swing focused on striking through the ball, plus a routine for the course.
Result
Stronger, hitting it better, and happily back on the course for as long as he can play. Brilliant.
Junior · Focus and etiquette

Eddie, 10, as told by his mum

“Eddie is much more focused in school and other activities, has greater manners and etiquette, and does not rush in and out of things so much. A godsend.”

Result
Golf is building concentration, patience and good manners beyond the course.
Improver · 10 handicap

Neil

Early extension, flipping and overthinking.

Coaching
Correction drills, plus a routine to take onto the course.
Result
The faults have gradually been overcome, and Neil is now aiming to bring his handicap down.
Short game · Routine

Julie

Plenty of skill, but kept chunking chips on the course.

Coaching
She was rushing her setup, so we built a simple routine: visualise, check setup, smooth swing.
Result
Julie rang after her next round, delighted to have chipped brilliantly by sticking to it.
Driving · Tempo

Tony

Slicing drives by trying to hit the ball too hard.

Coaching
Hitting hard wrecked his balance and tempo, so we calmed things down with a pre-shot routine and trust in his natural motion.
Result
His drives did not only straighten out. They went further.

On the course

Take your swing to the course

The swing we build in your lessons, and the drills I prescribe to groove it, only pay off when they travel with you to the first tee. The answer is not more thoughts, it is a simple routine you repeat before every shot, so that what you have rehearsed turns up when it counts.

Keep it the same each time and keep it short. Alignment, setup, a couple of practice swings with one or two swing thoughts, then let it go.

Alignment

Pick your target, find a spot just ahead of the ball on that line, then set your feet, hips and shoulders parallel to it. Do it the same way every time.

Setup

Settle into the grip, posture, ball position and balance you have established in your coaching sessions. Same setup, shot after shot.

Practice swings

Take a couple of practice swings with just one or two swing thoughts from your drills. Feel them, then leave them behind.

Execute freely

Step in and swing without a checklist. Trust the work you have done and let the routine deliver accuracy and consistency.

Repeat the routine on every shot, good or bad, and it soon becomes as much a part of your swing as the swing itself.
