Silvermere Golf Academy

I have been having 2 or 3 lessons a month with Nathan for about a year now. In that time he has totally transformed my swing and my attitude to playing golf. Life before Nathan I would struggle to break 100 on any course, now I can play to the early 20's and I'm still improving. It's also worth having chipping and putting lessons as this is where I think I have improved the most. We also have a laugh together which is important, just don't get him started on his Twitter comments.

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.

I have recently started working with Ben and EBC, about 5 months ago. In that time Ben has analysed my strength and weaknesses, in order to decide where we should start. Consequently we found my putting and short game was not good enough so we have been working hard on that, the results are showing already as my handicap has been cut from 10 to 5, in this short space! We haven't just been working on short game we vary the lessons to improve each area, normally we work in one of the studios with a launch monitor, this is where Ben is an expert helping me to understand and develop my game while improving my knowledge of my numbers that I generate. Overall I think that Ben is a very very good coach, is very dedicated with early starts and late evenings and I believe that Ben has a brilliant understanding of each aspects, be it putting, short game and long game along with preparing you mentally.

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.

I went to see Jason with a long-standing problem of not being able to down strike my iron shots. Within 2 swings on the GC Quad Jason identified the fault and corrected the fault. He is a very good coach, technically and in communicating the information. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for lessons.

My son has been coming to the Academy for 3 years, and even now it's still his favourite hour of the week. Lee is the most patient and professional teacher, who manages to teach the kids so much without them realising it, because he makes it fun!

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.

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!
