Golf coaching is all about you and what you want to get out of your game. We pride ourselves on being good listeners and aim to provide the best possible professional advice, whilst ensuring each lesson is tailored and enjoyable for the golfer.

Why Coaching?

Here at Arbroath Links Golf Pro Shop the philosophy is simple, deliver the same professional service to every individual who walks through our door. My Coaching philosophy is exactly the same, there isn’t one exact method to swing the golf club. You have to take each customer as an individual and work with what is in front of you. Ultimately, we all play golf for enjoyment and as a hobby and we aim for you to get the most out of your game. Whether you are looking for a quick fix or would like a “tailor-made" coaching package, we are here to help.

Lessons will cover:

  • Golf Fundamentals
  • Swing Basics
  • Short Game
  • Long Game
  • Course Management
