Michael Whitfield
Professional Golf Coach and NLP Sports Practitioner
Introducing a simple, cost effective approach to professional golf instruction with lessons and lesson packages tailored to meet your needs.
Since 2006, I have offered a comprehensive range of individual and group lessons, and lesson packages to golfers of all ages experience and abilities, at Knotty Hill Golf Centre, Sedgefield on the Durham and Cleveland border in the North East of England.
In that time I have helped golfers cut countless strokes from their handicap, introduced beginners to the game, assisted golfers in achieving their goal of winning club competitions, as well as helping people get more fun and enjoyment out of the game.
Clients can choose from single lessons; however, the lesson packages offer a cheaper, more cost effective alternative for those seeking long-term, sustained improvement as they include added benefits such as a free initial assessment and a personalised coaching log to further aid development. Lesson packages can start from as little as £4 per week. A selection of golf lesson gift vouchers are also available and make an ideal gift for golfers looking to improve.
Knotty Hill Golf Centre has some fantastic practice facilities including two covered driving ranges, two outside ranges, two chipping greens (one with a practice bunker) and two putting greens. It also has two eighteen hole courses and a nine hole 'academy course' which is ideal for introducing beginners to the game of golf as well as perfecting skills of more accomplished players.
Tip of the Month
This month, I will show you a simple three step guide that will enable you to draw the ball. Being able to 'work' the ball from right-to-left is a must on some holes and is fun to learn out on the practice ground. Click here for more info.
NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)
Being good at golf is more than skill. As a qualified NLP Sports Practitioner I can show the ways that NLP can teach you to re-programme your mindset and use it to improve your golf.
NLP can be of benefit if you...
- Find it difficult to take your best golf from the practice tee to the course
- Get anxious over tricky short putts
- Habitually slice or hook the golf ball
