The Teaching Professional

Has summer arrived early?

At last the cold weather has been and gone! We have seen the rolling fairways of Augusta National in April that indicates spring is here. Bank holidays have been and gone and the weather suggested summer may have begun early.

Let`s hope it has and long may it continue! I will endeavour to have another great summer and strive to continue the improvement of all my lessons throughout 2011.

Once again a big thank you to all my seniors and lessons that supported me during the winter months. I look forward to all my future coaching sessions both with the hardened golfer and also the fair weather ones that are yet to bring the clubs out of hibernation!

Happy golfing to you all

John Butler

Seniors roll up sessions:

These sessions are designed to make my coaching affordable and are for both members and non members, from beginners to seasoned players. I aim to provide a fun group atmosphere where everyone can learn. There will be occasions when we approach things as a group, but in the main I will make them as individual as possible. Short game will be a big focus as this is the area that makes the most difference to your scores! These sessions are £5 per person per session and you can attend as many as you like and there is no need to book, just turn up! Recently I have given an hours coaching to individuals for £5 as they were the only person present!

Senior sessions: 1pm Monday, 10am Tuesday & 9am Friday

These times were agreed with the members initially, but please let me know if they need to be reviewed!

The sessions are focused on educating the kids on what will make a difference to their scores on the course. Not just the technique they adopt but also how the decisions they make on the course can affect their scores. Very serious it may sound; but it will be done by engaging with the children and making it fun for all not just the elite players!!!

Beginners (4 weeks) and Improvers (6 weeks) courses:

These are group sessions with a maximum of 8 people in the group. The emphasis for beginners is getting a good set up and then the full swings in one go! Trust me its simple and I have amazing results! This is finished off with some chipping and putting. Improvers are much the same but with more emphasis on the short game and finally a session on the actual golf course! Come and learn what really counts!

Beginners £40

Improvers £60

THE FREE ASSESSMENT:

The jewel in the crown! Individual coaching that starts with an hour’s appraisal of your game. We start with a questionnaire designed to find out your beliefs about your own game. The things you may have been taught, read, watched or trawled through the web for. We find out how you process information internally and how this affects you on the course. I then will watch you hit shots, putting, chipping, pitching and longer shots. After this I will produce a plan of lessons relative to your playing and practice in order to improve your scores!

Something for you all too consider?  Many of us will invest in new equipment year after year costing us hundreds which over many years costs thousands but in reality brings little golfing reward. But the price of a driver would give you coaching for a minimum of 12 months and would bring you more golfing pleasure in the long term!!!

Any of the above coaching sessions can be purchased as a Christmas present in the form of a gift voucher and be presented to the individual then organised by the individual according to their own time frame. All vouchers are valid for 12 months.

To purchase a voucher call 0116 270 9052, 07905 757168 or email jbutlers2005@hotmail.com (link to open new e-mail)

Society days:

These come in various forms of ability and commitment, but from experience involve on the whole the novice, the infrequent or the aspiring golfer!!??

60% of golf shots in a round of golf will occur on the green and within 50 yards of it! FACT!
This is why I include a short game clinic within all society packages and believe it can make a difference instantly in the majority of cases.

I am even willing to give your society a voucher that in my mind should be presented to the person who comes last for a FREE assessment and 1 free lesson!!!!

To book or discuss your day in more detail:

I sincerely hope that I can be of help to anyone and everyone regarding their golf game!

Happy golfing,
