Chris Coles - Head PGA Professional

I believe every golfer is different, from different swing patterns and techniques to different thought processes and strategic thinking. This means individual coaching styles must be used for each player. I do not believe that 'one model fits all' and take pride in my ability to assess and adapt my coaching for each player I meet and to work within the means of the person in front of me. This means that I am constantly learning and therefore constantly bring new ideas and thoughts to lessons.
