Silvermere Golf Academy

I have been having lessons with Nathan over the last 3 years. When I started with him my golf was a mess as a result of little golf following a badly broken arm. Nathan's style impressed me at once as he rebuilt my game taking account of my physical limitations and age. The process has been very steady and when I have had setbacks he set me right. He's thoughtful, innovative and patient. He's also very good company too.

I have been working with Ron for about a year. He has helped me develop as a player. He does not bang on about the the technical side of the swing but does analyse what I am doing, suggesting alternatives and encourage the whole learning process. I have dropped from 24 to 14 in the times I have worked with Ron. I have recommended Ron to my friends as I feel he is an excellent teacher/coach and I always leave our sessions with small things to work on – he never makes wholesale changes that can ruin your golf on the course.

I have had the benefit of coaching from Callum for a number of months. Having previously had some golf coaching which I saw little benefit from it was immediately clear that Callum very quickly identified the cause of my slice! What has then made the difference is Callum's ability to keep the instruction simple, breaking the solution down into easily understandable and achievable fixes. Equally he explained to me how to make best use of the Trackman to monitor my progress. My swing has effectively been re-built and my golf is continuing to improve and I am now confident that my handicap will now reduce too. Callum has also helped me to choose the best clubs to buy with a club fitting session, explaining in simple terms the data, and rather than attempting to sell me the more expensive clubs, steered me towards the ones which were the best fit for me. In short, Callum is a high quality golf professional who's coaching works.

Ron is by far the best coach my husband and I have ever had. His teaching style does not make you feel overwhelmed because he introduces new or improved techniques over time and not all at once. Ron also teaches us how to keep our mind positive and focused while maintaining a good sense of humour both on the range and on the course. He has made golf fun for us, and of course we are very pleased that our game is constantly improving!

I have been incredibly lucky to have worked with Jason Banting for over 12 years during my golfing career. He has taught me alot about the mechanical side of the golf swing and improved my game immeasurably. As well as being an awesome golf coach Jason has brilliant people skills, his positivity is infectious and as long as I have known him he has been 100% supportive and committed to my golf game. Jason is so much fun to be with and makes any coaching session a fantastic balance of golf skill and enjoyment of a game that he is totally passionate about.

My 13 year-old son and I are near-beginners and have had several month's of coaching with Nathan. The lessons have been great - Nathan takes time to explain why techniques work as well as showing us what to do, he is teaching us all aspects of the game and his coaching is really clear. Joint lessons work well because we both have a chance to practice what we are learning and it's good to learn a new sport together.

Since I have worked with Jason on my golf swing my game has improved also bringing down my scores. Jason has helped me understand the mechanics of my swing and breaks down his explanations of what I need to achieve so I can digest them without getting lost. I have seen such improvements that I now feel happier and more confident on the course even when things don’t go my way. And I owe a great deal of that to Jason.

I came to Jason as a complete novice having never swung a club before, within 9 weeks i was playing to a 34 handicap and continuing to improve constantly, he has helped me find a real love and enthusiasm for the game, his coaching method is so friendly and extremely positive i absolutely love my lessons and can’t wait to learn more and more and improve under his mentoring, learning to play golf with Jason is like learning to play golf with a friend, but he really brings out the best in you and your swing, he is in my opinion one of the best golf coach’s out there.

I started working with Jason after I met him at The Portuguese Open in 2006 where he was coaching Ryder Cup player, Steve Richardson. It was a pure coincidence but turned out to be a wonderful blessing. He made some interesting observations about my swing and from there our relationship developed, both professionally and as close friends. Jason is a true professional, very detailed yet uncomplicated. In tournaments he allows you to play with freedom and without unnecessary swing thoughts. He worked with me on all aspects of the game, including the physical element and was very helpful with the mental side of my game…a necessary evil for all players. In addition he occasionally caddied for me on the European Tour where he was a great asset, one of the best caddies that I have ever had by my side. Jason is very ambitious and extremely passionate, which is why he is a very successful teacher, whether he’s coaching a European Tour player or a regular club golfer. He is also one of the good guys, a genuine person with a wicked sense of humour and who is great company. I have recommended Jason many times and will continue to do so.
