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 and helped golfers 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

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 accomplished players.

Tip of the Month

This month I would like to focus on better  ball striking by eliminating any excessive movement of the head during the shot. While a little movement of the head is acceptable, too much can lead to all kinds of ball striking problems including shots struck both fat and thin.                  Click here for more info.
