Golf Lessons & Coaching for Everyone
Hi, My name is Kelly and I’m one of the PGA Professional Coaches based at Broadstone Golf Club in Dorset.
Welcome to my website where my goal is to share some of the opportunities available for you to learn to play golf with me as your coach.
I’ve been playing golf since I was 10 years old and worked in golf development before changing direction to become a fully qualified PGA Instructor.
I love the game of golf and hope that I am able to share my passion with you as you take either your tentative first steps to playing or challenging yourself to improve your game.
Share My Passion
I have a real passion for the game and get great enjoyment from my pupils achieving their aspirations. Throughout my experience being involved with various national and county training programs I have gained invaluable insight into the mechanics of the golf swing and all aspects of what makes a successful coach and player.
I am a firm believer that if you get the basics of the golf swing right then anything can be built from there.Kelly Bridges
Lessons For All
I offer individual, shared and group golf lessons for men, women and juniors and for all playing abilities, from the complete beginner to single-figure handicap players wanting to take their game to the next level.
Everyone learns differently; hence, I adapt my teaching style to ensure that you get the most out of each session. In individual lessons, video analysis plays an essential part in my coaching as does providing you with drills for you to practice between lessons.
At Broadstone I’m responsible for delivering children’s golf lessons via the Junior Coaching Academy and am actively involved in Schools’ Golf programs, taking the Tri-Golf program into Primary Schools in the Dorset area.
In addition, I’m proud to be one of only two coaches in the southwest of England who are associated with Love.golf, an exciting program that teaches women to play golf out on the golf course.

What Clients Are Saying.......
Kelly started coaching me in October of that year and since that date I have been a scratch player for short time. My handicap is now usually about 1.
Kelly has significantly improved my swing and consistency by making small effective changes to optimise the swing rather than a complete overhaul. These adjustments have resulted in a much more reliable and consistent swing. Kelly's approach has been focused on producing the best possible swing for me which has led to tangible improvements in my game. Kelly as a coach is easy to understand and she keeps it simple.
Kelly's multi-faceted approach has included addressing the mental side of golf. The benefits have been a reduction in self-criticism as well as an overall improvement in my attitude to golf.
Kelly’s expertise as a golf coach has improved my golf with improvements in both my skill level and my mindset.
Kelly's amicable personality makes her one of the nicest people you will ever meet. These qualities collectively make Kelly an understanding and exceptional golf coach.
