TPI stands for Titleist Performance Institution. It is the blueprint of what we teach. Our coaches are all TPI qualified in level 1 and junior level 2. The qualification provides the knowledge and tools to understand what It takes for juniors to go from a complete beginner to elite athlete if they choose to.
Our sessions are a little different to old school coaching. We implement warm ups, stretches, mini games and competitions. We set up various stations working on fundamental movements, golf specific movements and physical development. The stations get progressively harder and specialise more in golf technique as the junior gets older. Juniors attention span is very short so it’s important to rotate round and keep it fun and active.
We work on things like speed, power and balance – all key to an efficient golf swing. Kids need to hit the ball hard if they wish to reach the top and that starts from an early age.
The whole programme runs from our very own custom app. The app tracks their skills with fun skills cards and provides feedback and training videos to continue to improve.

Green Elite
Green Elite is for single figure golfers aspiring to be at the top of the game. You must demonstrate the skill and attitude level required in your age group academy and it is by invitation. Only once the coaches are satisfied will you be added to this elite group.
We categorise our sessions into age groups, not ability. A lot of what we work on require similar physical and mental development. That said, when we work on golf specific challenges we split into ability pairings.
We advice attending both academy classes and having one private session a week.
We prioritise group coaching over private tuition at a younger age.
We understand the importance of developing physical movements and fundamental sports skills before specialising too much at golf at a young age. Youngster’s need to learn to run, jump and throw a ball before they can be expected to chip over a bunker to a tight flag or drive the ball 300 yards!
Leave it to the pros! Too often we see parents too pushy, too obsessed with technique and giving very poor information which can really hinder their development. Our pros will ensure they are working on what they NEED to work on at their age.
