No two golfers are the same and each session will build the individual's game from strength to strength. And new for 2006 at the St. Andrews Golf Academy will be the superb Dartfish Video analysis system. This state of the art system can be included in all lessons in 2006. Your whole game can be exported on to CD, the Internet and sent by email to provide an ongoing coaching programme long after you have left us.

For those new to golf, the PGA Pro will guide you through the fundamental aspects. The first lesson for a new or emerging golfer will examine the key sequences of the golf swing; Aim, grip, stance and posture will all be practised. With expert guidance, it is amazing at how quickly a beginner's game can take shape.

For the established golfer, potential weaknesses are explored and existing strengths improved. Golfers are guided on the areas to work on with a plan of action determined that can then be taken forward. Many often make a date to return to examine their progress and continue to push their game beyond their furthest expectations.
