About this collection
I don't believe in endless range sessions without a purpose. We will use my 'Green to Tee' method, which starts with putting and chipping, so you aren't just hitting balls into a net but actually preparing to play on the course. We will capture your swing on video for instant feedback, and since I coach at KGA and Bangalore Golf Club, we can transition to real playing conditions as soon as you are ready.
Golf is often over-complicated, but it really comes down to the basics. My coaching approach is designed to cut through the confusion. If you are a beginner, we start with my 10-session 'Green to Tee' program. We begin on the green with putting mechanics and chipping drills, then move to mid-range irons, and finally full swings. This reverse-engineering ensures you build the confidence needed to step onto the course, rather than spending months just aiming at a driving range target.
Why Choose My Coaching?
- Technical & Practical: I use video analysis to show you exactly what your body is doing. You get instant replay feedback, which makes fixing habits like a weak grip or a poor shoulder turn much faster.
- Inclusive for Everyone: I’ve coached students as young as 3 and as experienced as 80. Whether you are a solo student, a parent wanting your child to learn, or a group of friends, the sessions are paced to your individual comfort level.
- Course Readiness: The range is where we drill, but the course is where we learn. I prioritize on-course coaching—managing uneven lies, reading greens, and basic etiquette—so you know how to handle a real game.
- Equipment Guidance: Don't rush out to buy the most expensive set of clubs. I provide advice on what to buy so you don't overspend on your first kit.
Lessons are held at KGA (Karnataka Golf Association), Bangalore Golf Club, and Coorg Golf Links. Whether you want a one-off session to fix a recurring hook or a full package to get match-ready, let's get moving.
