What is the duration of a golf lesson?
The most popular lesson duration is 40 minutes. This is the sweet spot between enough detail for one category of the game without the risk of overload. We also offer 80 minute sessions for those looking to improve multiple categories of the game in one session.

If you haven't yet got your own equipment, don't panic! Richard can provide clubs throughout your lessons at no cost before you make the decision to purchase your own.

What should I wear to a golf lesson?
We are very fortunate to be based at a forward thinking golf club and therefore have a relaxed dress code. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes.
Are group lessons available?
We appreciate there is often social benefits to group lessons but we feel your improvements are much quicker throughout individual lessons. With this in mind Ben focuses his attention to individual sessions.
If you are seeking social golf we are still very proactive in finding you golf buddies and also work closely with the golf club membership.
Can I purchase a package of lessons?
Richard recommends you pay as you go with his golf lessons as this keeps your learning flexible and affordable. Once you have had your first lesson Richard will be able to advise the most appropriate intervals between your sessions. This is often dependent on your practice time and personal commitments.
