Sean Bailey

"The golf swing is as individual as you are therefore we can't all swing the same way. So I build a golf swing around you. I use hi speed cameras and a simulator to find the best way to help you reach your potential. I also work on pre shot routines to assist with the mind game aspect of golf." PGA Professional AAT, LET European Tour Coach, Cheshire County Development Coach

Tom Atkinson

Having graduated through the PGA scheme in 2006 I have given countless golf lessons to all abilities from total beginners to pros that have played in major tournaments. Understanding each persons specific needs is fundamental, after all there is no right way to play golf. Your body has to be able to facilitate the swing though.
