Why Coaching?

Here at Cardiff Golf Club we’re passionate about helping you play better golf.

We are extremely proud of our coaching system for our junior golfers at Cardiff Golf Club, who receive regular lessons from our pro staff sponsored by the Club itself. We are not aware of many other clubs that structure junior coaching in this way.

Every golfer enjoys the game more when they’re hitting good shots and playing well. This is our mission for you.

Think back to your last few rounds and try to pinpoint an area that cost you shots…

Maybe, you had too many three-putts as a result of poor distance control? Or did you miss too many fairways to the right meaning you had to chip out sideways? It could be that you play well in practice rounds with your friends but struggle to replicate that in competitions?

Through our experiences in the game and our PGA education, we appreciate that every golfer is different. That’s why we offer a range of lessons and packages to suit everyone.

Lessons will cover:

  • Golf Fundamentals
  • Swing Basics
  • Short Game
  • Long Game
  • Course Management
