The lesson works, then fades
You leave hitting it better, but without a clear next step the old pattern soon returns.
John O’NeillGame Improvement Programme
A clear coaching programme for golfers who want lasting improvement and lower scores.
01 / Does this sound familiar?
You are putting the effort in. You just need a clearer direction.
You leave hitting it better, but without a clear next step the old pattern soon returns.
You put the time in and try different drills, but you are never quite sure what is helping.
You see flashes of the golfer you can be, but not often enough when you play.

Every session has a plan.
Every practice has a purpose.
02 / Why single lessons stall
A lesson can change a movement. Lasting improvement needs more than that. The work has to connect to a goal, become part of your practice and then hold up on the course.
“You do not need more information. You need to know what matters now and what comes next.”

03 / The CGA Performance Pathway
This is the difference between having lessons and being coached. We find the real issue, build the plan, guide the work and check that it is improving your golf.
See where shots are being lost, understand why and decide what matters first.
Build a clear plan that connects your coaching, practice and play.
Make lasting changes through focused coaching in person.
Take the work onto the course, review the results and keep moving forward.
What the programme looks like
We work together in the studio, on the practice area and on the course. Between sessions, you can send swings, ask questions and get feedback, so you always know what to work on next.
Focused coaching built around the main priority in your plan.
Simple, specific practice with a clear reason behind it.
Send swings, questions and updates through Skillest between sessions.
Use your scores and performance to decide what comes next.

04 / Coaching through the season
Winter gives us time to make technical changes and build better practice habits. During the season, we focus more on scoring, decisions and producing your golf when it matters.
05 / What good coaching should give you
The aim is not to make you dependent on a coach. It is to help you understand your game, practise with purpose and step onto the course knowing what you are trying to do.
“John changed small things that made massive improvements in my swing and made my scoring so much better.”

Patrick Newton’s journey“You get the feel of an actual coach, not just a singular lesson.”
Daniel Morris06 / Your next step
This programme is for golfers who are ready to follow a plan, practise with purpose and give improvement the time it needs. It is not another quick tip or occasional MOT.
We start with a free game evaluation. We will talk about your golf, your goals and where your shots are going. Then we can decide together whether the programme is right for you.
