Sam is an amazing and friendly coach who has worked patiently with me on all different aspects of my golf as a beginner to get me enjoying the sport more than ever. Will be having some more lessons no doubt!

My lesson/fitting session was excellent, Sam made me feel comfortable and relaxed which was great as it can be a bit daunting with all the latest technology, Sam has a lot of experience and knowledge of the golf swing, so would definitely recommend Sam to help you with any part of your golf game.
Massive thankyou Sam for helping me.

Sam is an amazing extremely talented player and teacher! I have had multiple lessons with him and my game has come on massively, he also sends personalised videos after the lesson to help you achieve moving forward which I thought was a really nice touch! Thanks again and look forward to next time 🙂

I recently completed several golf lessons and I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of instruction and overall experience. From the very first session, Sam demonstrated an exceptional understanding of the game and tailored each lesson to suit my individual requests, needs and skill level.
My lessons were structured and progressive, ensuring that I built a solid foundation from around the greens to the driving range. Sam was articulate, patient, encouraging, and always willing to answer my questions, no matter how basic. His attention to detail helped me correct my club choice, swing, grip and improve my stance, and develop a much better understanding of course strategy.
I benefited from his demonstration, thereafter, reenacted the shots with the use of training aids and analysis/instruction followed by a tutorial video. This made it much easier to recap where I could improve. The feedback was always constructive, and I left every lesson feeling motivated and more confident in my abilities.
Thanks to these lessons, I've seen a noticeable improvement in my game and handicap and I am enjoying golf more than ever. I highly recommend these golf lessons to anyone looking to learn the sport or take their skills to the next level.

Currently having golf lessons with Sam who has helped me instantly by recommending some changes to my grip and take away. The technology he uses is first class and his style of coaching is very professional and encouraging. Lessons are followed up with video reviews and reminders of what was covered which have been extremely helpful. As my friends have said on seeing the videos ‘that is a top golf coach’.

After years of futile practicing and reinforcing bad habits I finally realised it was kinder on my self and my wallet to start practicing the smart way. I started fortnightly lessons with Sam who was highly recommended to me.

Sam has been brilliant in analysing my swing faults and in creating new swing patterns to correct them. He does this through easy to understand structured lessons using simple props and movement patterns that I know will start to bear fruit with additional ‘smart’ practice on the range to reinforce good habits.

Overall, Sam is a very professional and relaxed coach who doesn’t over complicate his teaching and is passionate about making you a better golfer. If you are looking to start developing good swing habits over winter, then I’d look no further than Sam. I just wish I’d done it way sooner.

Sam is a top class golf coach. I’m working with Sam after a 10 year break from playing and trying to get to single figures. Sam has a friendly and relaxed approach to teaching but also has an in depth understanding of the game though he communicates is an easy to understand way. He blends the naked eye assessment with Trackman to provide data on areas of focus. He also utilises drills for effective practice. I really like that he follows up each lesson with a WhatsApp video so you have a record of what exactly to work on in practice. I’d recommend Sam to anyone who wants to take their game to the next level.

I had never had a lesson before meeting Sam.

He makes you feel at ease and amd comfortable. The lessons are really informative, lots of justification as to why we are trying to make the improvements; as well as the data behind the current swing/face impact/grip vs what the outcome could be with the changes.

I'm excited for more lessons and hopefully to start seeing the scores drop!

Thanks for your help Sam!

Sam is a great teacher. After changing my grip and suffering a little with the shot shape, Sam helped me get it back on track. I particularly like the video that is provided that gives you feedback, drills and other bits of useful information.

Sam is the one of, if not the, best in the Harrogate area for lessons.

Sam is a very good golf coach. He has helped me to improve many aspects of my golf game to date. Highly recommended

Sam has shown me how to eliminate my slice and improve my chipping. He communicates clearly and uses simple but effective teaching tools. Thanks to Sam, I have just won the club’s mid- week Stableford competition at my first attempt and reduced my handicap by 6 strokes! I know I will improve further as I continue to work with Sam.

Katie Roberts

I definitely recommend anyone interested in taking up golf to look to Sam. He is an amazing teacher and coach. Gives very clear advice and he very quickly tunes in with each individual in the group to know what works best for each person. He also makes the experience great fun. I was a complete novice and am now becoming more competent and , more importantly, I am thoroughly enjoying this game called golf.

Fabulous coach. Knows exactly how to help
you improve. His sessions are also great fun and I feel as if, with his help, I’ve made great progress. I can highly recommend him

Gareth Morris

12:57 17 Aug 24

I definitely recommend Sam, I am a 19 handicapper and have started a set of lessons. Sam was able to diagnose my issues and provide useful drill for me to work on. Looking fwd to my second lesson.

Really enjoyable programme of lessons and also classes on the course. Great to be out with others progressing at same rate. Thanks Sam 🙂

08:01 17 Aug 24

This is my third attempt over 20 years to get into golf, and finally I can see a way in. Sam’s teaching is not complicated but encouraging and he fosters a golfing community to which you can relate and become each others cheer leaders. Thanks Sam. I look forward to the next 20 years 👍

Played a bit of golf as a kid, but never took it too seriously, so when i decided to start playing regularly, golf lessons were a must. After a few conversations with friends, Sams name kept cropping up as being a great tutor. I decided to go with Sam and its been one of the best decisions I've made so far when it comes to my golfing ability. Working with Sam has taken my handicap from 26.9 to 15.6 in the space of 3 months. I like how you dont just sit in a simulator room every session - we go out to the chipping green, range and out onto the course to practice game management etc. I recommend him to anyone who asks. I’ve also booked back in a 4 hour block which i am taking a lesson every few week to continue development. Sam is also a really great person to get along with which makes it much more enjoyable.

Couldn't recommend Sam enough! If you’re unsure about Golf Lessons, or just looking to improve your game get in touch with Sam. I’ve had several lessons with Sam, and my game has improved massively!

Molly Fetherston

17:14 15 Aug 24

As a beginner female golfer, I couldn’t be more pleased with the lessons I received from Sam. He was patient, encouraging and made each concept easy to understand. We were given a recap video following each lesson, which helped significantly with at home practice. I would recommend anyone considering taking lessons to absolutely book in with Sam. A champion for female golfers, he made us feel excited to have started this journey.

17:01 15 Aug 24

Thank you Sam 🙏 your teaching and coaching style has really helped me to understand the improvements I could make to my swing and overall game.
I highly recommend all golfers whatever ability to use your skills to improve their game ⛳️

Hazel Cooper

16:36 15 Aug 24

Highly recommend. My friend and I have visited Sam for a number of beginner golf lessons. We’re both females and golf felt a little daunting at first but he was extremely welcoming and we have both learnt a lot. Sam is very skilled, knowledgable and we both raved about his simple approach to teaching golf as well as the very relatable analogies. We’ll definitely be returning for more lessons. Thanks Sam, you’re great!

Sam is an excellent teacher, keeps instructions simple even demonstrating with a tennis racquet!
Sam produced a personalized Whatsapp video of key points for reference. Brilliant. Played golf today in gruelling conditions and pleased there was a significant improvement. Happy golfer.....

Caroline Wood

Sam is an excellent coach and teacher. I have had the pleasure of being involved in a “Winter Golf Programme” where each session has been tailored to improving my game in a positive and constructive manner. Sam works with you to maximise your potential and make sure you are fully engaged in everything you are working on. His teaching technique is friendly and professional. I would highly recommend him to any golfer of any standard.

Simon Butterwith

10:40 21 Mar 24

I can't recommend Sam highly enough. He's a great teacher and was able to solve all my problems with my driver in one lesson. He also provided a video summary of everything we had worked on which is great for reference.

Paula Bintcliffe

20:50 13 Mar 24

Sam has been a brilliant golf coach. I only started golf 6 months ago and needed to progress with all parts of my golf. I have really improved in all areas, and it’s really bringing down my scores and improved my ball striking. Sam also has some really good drills to help improve and work on your swing.
I would 100% recommend Sam to help with all parts of your golf, and I look forwards to the lessons.

james haveron

10:55 04 Mar 24

I have had a couple lessons with Sam and he has really helped me improve and given me drills to do which has resulted in my handicap dropping very fast!

I've had a few lessons with Sam on various parts of my game but the one that's benefitted me the most was 'getting out of bunkers!!!'
in 1 shot. An great half hr. lesson and money well spent.
I would thoroughly recommend him to help improve your game.

Chris Triggs

Sam is a great coach and really nice guy with it. He can teach you a lot in a very short time. Don’t go buying new clubs, spend it on seeing him if you want to get better

Robert Watson

My golf lesson was Brilliant! Sam's expertise and patience was exceptional. Personalized guidance and video analysis improved my swing noticeably. His passion for golf was contagious, leaving me motivated and confident. Highly recommend for golfers of all levels. A fantastic experience. Will be going again.

Adam Crawfurd-Porter

11:44 29 Jun 23

I couldn't recommend Sam highly enough. Sam undertook a complete swing change back in the winter months, advising i would need to go backwards to go forwards and he was most certainly right. I started at a 20 handicap and have now got down below 15 (with a far better swing) so his work with me is really paying off. Great bloke too which always helps!!

Dale Clarke

10:58 29 Jun 23

Sam is an excellent teacher who explains and demonstrates in a very practical and understandable way. The combination of technical data, clear instruction and follow up videos and personalised drills have made a huge difference to my game. Thanks Sam

10:23 29 Jun 23

Had two lessons with Sam so far and both have been brilliant. I am fairly new to Golf & he noticed why I was slicing the ball with my irons straight away. He's given me a couple points to work on and I have noticed significant improvement. Sam's a top class coach & both lessons have been really enjoyable. Looking forward to my next lesson!

Sam Frankland

09:52 29 Jun 23

Had a couple of lessons with Sam now. Really good coach, clear guidance on how to improve and doesn't overly complicate matters. My son has also had lessons and his swing has been transformed.

Patrick Fuller

09:44 29 Jun 23

Sam is a brilliant coach! I consistently hit my drivers and long irons to the left. After the first lesson, Sam spotted the problems and we used data to fix it. He also sends a really helpful video reminder after the lesson which is invaluable for practicing on the driving range. He explains and demonstrates changes to my technique really well, and makes lessons fun. Definitely recommend

Mike Thomas

09:41 29 Jun 23

I purchased a improvement package from Sam at the beginning of the season as like a lot of higher handicap golfers, I kept making the Same mistakes season after season - Sam spent time talking to me about my game and ambitions, then gave me some simple and practical tips to work on, we've had 3 or 4 sessions and each time I've gone away with a clear understanding of what to do to improve, nothing is rushed, he is very positive and encouraging.
Sam follows up with a short video summarising the lesson, he has a clear approach to the improvements I need to make and it's working!
I would 100% recommend giving Sam a call if you're struggling with your game or want to reduce or maintain your handicap

Josh Silver

09:38 29 Jun 23

Sam is extremely knowledgeable about the golf swing and has made a big difference to my long game so far in our lessons!
He is able to tailor and adapt "feels" to help you execute the move he is trying to teach. He took the time to understand how I learn and gave the level of detail that was helpful for me specifically.
Another huge thing for me is he is constantly learning. He is continuing to learn about the golf swing and what is the current best practice. I have found some coaches are stuck in a very specific swing era and this can mean you are taught methods that no longer have much value. Sam was able to talk about swing theory that is very current and therefore you know you are getting the best instruction.

Michael Harrison

09:37 29 Jun 23

I currently play off 12 however I really struggle with bunkers and my short game. 2 lessons in and Sam has dramatically improved both areas of my game. Not only does he help improve my technique in the lesson, his follow up reminder videos are always great reference points. I will continue to have more lessons as I look to improve my game further. Highly recommended.

Robert Hall

17:29 30 Mar 23

Just had one lesson so far, but the combination of Sam’s knowledge and the tech used to assess my swing, made it a very useful session. Will be booking more!

Chris Smith

19:19 27 Mar 23

My first time working with Sam and he is brilliant. I was struggling with my iron play (in particular my low irons); Sam made some slight tweaks that were broken down into easy steps and overnight fixed the problem. A really good golf coach and equally, a top person.

vpmclaughlin

06:49 24 Feb 23

I was randomly topping the ball with a variety of clubs five or six times during a round. During Sam's lesson I didn't do it once, yet he was still able to ideñtify the fault and gave me simple drills to enable me to correct it. He even sent me a personalised video recapping what he taught me. Striking the ball sweeter than ever (for now). Feeling much more confident to go out there and smash it!

Jacques Clarkson

19:11 23 Feb 23

Highly recommend Sam, Sam’s worked on my golf game for years, from Swing to short game, course management and everything in between. Every year we’ve made great progress of getting that handicap dropped, season after season we’ve done it! Looking forward to the next season!!

Declan Peters

21:17 17 Jan 23

Fantastic lessons with Sam. Sam work with you on your game and swing. He does not believe there is one style and does not trying to overload you with lots of changes. He will make minor tweeks that will definately improve your game. Very friendly and always a joy for lessons or a round of golf. Thanks Sam.

Jim O'Donnell

19:42 16 Jan 23

Had a number of lessons with Sam mainly working on my swing. He gave me very good advice and helped me to cure a number of faults. All of the drills he gave me to practise on my own were very helpful. I can now go on the course with a lot more confidence and I would certainly recommend him. Thanks Sam.

Angus Gray

17:50 13 Jan 23

Had lessons with Sam for many years now. Sam is a great coach, always patient and detailed with his coaching. Couldn’t recommend him anymore

Andy Chilton

15:06 12 Jan 23

Sam cured my longstanding driver slice. His patience & professionalism are outstanding & I would unhesitatingly recommend him😊

Emilio Oliver-Stothard

13:52 12 Jan 23

Sam has a wealth of golfing knowledge and has helped me adapt my game over the last couple of years. Sam is always happy to have a conversation and discuss fresh ideas.

Nigel Kilburn

20:49 11 Jan 23

I would like to thank Sam for his continued patience & professional approach to his coaching.
Taking me on when I was a complete novice & managing to bring me to a level where I can begin to enjoy golf.
I know that I still need some more coaching, but I’m certain that Sam will find a way of sorting my game.
Many thanks.

Joe Buckley

19:02 11 Jan 23

I have been going to Sam for many years as he is an experienced golf coach. He has kept my golf at a high standard and encourages me to improve at all times. I find that Sam is not only upto date with the latest techniques, he knows exactly what is needed to improve my game whether it is the long game, iron play, wedge play or short game. I would recommend Sam to develop any standard of golfer from beginners to elite players.

Ken EJ Ward

13:35 11 Jan 23

Sam has been working with my sons aged 20 & 13 (+4 handicap & 4 handicap respectively) for a while now. They're both always full of praise in Sam's coaching style, knowledge and ability to be able to articulate so that they go away with a better understanding of what is happening in their golf swing. The facilities and equipment Sam uses are excellent. He is friendly, professional & very accomodating. We really would recommend Sam to anyone from beginners to elite golfers of any age.

Andrew Doyle

13:34 11 Jan 23

Fantastic lesson with Sam as always. Has a great knack for explaining things in such a simple way, making the process of improving your golf so much easier. Thanks Sam.
