Programme Resources

These days, simply having a ‘traditional’ golf lesson isn’t enough to keep up with the demands of the modern game. Which is why we ensure that our players have access to all the resources they need to reach their goals. Whether they want to simply ‘play better golf’ or aspire to a career in the game, we have the resources. The Junior Players Academy offers the latest technology, coaches, consultants and training programmes that they need to reach their goals.

Video

We use video analysis as an effective and proven way to improve the efficiency of our coaching. It is a powerful tool for reviewing movement mechanics and plays a critical role in the learning processing. By filming our students’ swing and playing it back frame by frame, it provides valuable visual feedback. It is a proven method that helps our coaches to fine tune a player’s swing to maximise power and accuracy.

Team training and practice

We like to encourage weekly team practice sessions with our players to help cultivate a competitive training environment and mindset. These sessions are great for player development as we encourage students to challenge and push each other to improve. We set skill games and challenges (with and without technology) and set themed practices. And, needless to say, it gives the students additional playing time on the course.

Aside from these core coaching staples we offer a range of top coaching resources:

Players Website / private area

This restricted online resource is for students only. It gives our players access to key video training and other useful resources. Here, they’ll have access to a series of video tutorials that teach them how to prepare themselves mentally for golf. They’ll also have access to a series of exercise videos and team challenge scores. Learn more…

Golf Coaching App

The golf coaching app enables player and coach to communicate and share information quickly and easily on one single platform. A key feature of the app is the ability to record and share videos, images, text and audio. This allows the coach to check the students’ progress and provide valuable feedback between sessions.

3D Force plates

Force plates measure how the ground is being used and the forces produced by a player during their swing. The players feet are the only contact point with the ground during a golf swing. So, by measuring the pressure they apply during a swing, it provides us with useful biometric data. This allows us to quickly analyse where improvements can be made in a player’s golf swing.

Flightscope Launch Monitor

Flightscope uses the latest Doppler radar technology to monitor three-dimensional club head movement. Not only this, but it also monitors the entire ball flight from impact to landing. The Flightscope Launch Monitor measures 23 parameters of ball flights and club data. This data along with visual feedback from a video is very powerful combination for the coaching and learning process. Learn more…

Indoor Putting Studio

Our purpose-built indoor putting studio is equipped with the latest coaching technologies. We use SAM PuttLab, a comprehensive putt analysis and training system to analyse and correct putt strokes. We also use lasers and mirrors for perceived aim testing and correction. These technologies allow us to assess students putting techniques and formulate a training programme. Learn more…

Bio-Swing Dynamics Screening

The BioSwing Dynamics screening process has been developed over 35 years by consultants, doctors, bio-mechanists, fitness experts and scientists. The quick and simple screening process identifies how a player’s body and swing is deigned to move biomechanically. Based on how someone is built, it helps to form part of the players blueprint for optimal performance. Learn more…

Club Fitting

Using ill-fitting clubs can cause numerous problems, not only at the start but later in your golfing life. If your clubs do not fit correctly, it is the club, not you, that dictates how you address the ball. As a consequence, the dynamics of the swing will be affected by this initial address position. It can often be responsible for the golfer being unable to obtain the required positions in the golf swing. This, in turn, causes them to perform an incredible amount of manipulation, leading to poor performance and inconsistency. Ensuring players have suitable equipment to help their development and to support performance is an important piece of the puzzle. Learn more…

Consultants and Golf Fitness Trainers

All players are different and will need help to develop in different aspects of the game. As coaches we will analyse and identify where a player needs to improve. Which is why we have ties with a range of consultants and trainers to help students where they need it. For example, this might include personal fitness trainers or physio and sports injury therapists. Learn more…
