Kelly can introduce you to the basics in a relaxed and friendly environment, helping you develop confidence with the golf club, understand the fundamentals and start enjoying the game.
TPI Golf Coaching and Physical Assessment
Your golf swing doesn't exist in isolation from the rest of your body.
Your mobility, stability, strength, balance and movement patterns can all influence how you move the golf club.
Kelly is a TPI Certified Golf Level 2 Coach and can use TPI screening to identify physical factors that may be influencing your golf swing.
The information gained from the assessment can then help shape your coaching and, where appropriate, identify exercises or swing adaptations that may help you play more effectively.
TPI isn't about changing the way every golfer moves. It's about understanding **your individual body and how it relates to your golf swing**, which is particularly relevant to individuals recovering from injury or who are just getting older and less flexible.
TrackMan Golf Lessons in Poole
Kelly uses TrackMan technology to provide measurable information about club and ball performance and help golfers understand what is happening during their swing.
TrackMan can provide detailed information about your club and ball flight, including factors such as:
- Clubhead speed
- Ball speed
- Launch angle
- Carry distance
- Total distance
- Club path
- Face angle
- Smash factor
- Attack angle
Rather than relying purely on what you can see, TrackMan provides measurable information that can help you and Kelly understand your swing and ball flight more clearly.
It can be particularly useful when working on distance, direction, consistency and equipment performance.
On-Course Golf Lessons
Sometimes the best place to improve your golf is actually on the golf course. Kelly offers 9-hole playing lessons, allowing coaching to move beyond the practice area and onto the course.
Playing lessons can cover areas such as:
- Course strategy
- Pre-shot routines
- Club selection
- Driving
- Approach shots
- Chipping
- Pitching
- Bunker play
- Putting
- Managing pressure
- Making better decisions on the course
The aim is to help you transfer the improvements you make during your lessons into your actual game.
Golf Lessons for Beginners and Improvers
You don't need to have a handicap or even know your way around a golf course before having a lesson.
Kelly works with complete beginners as well as golfers who have been playing for years but feel that their game has stopped progressing.
If you're struggling with a slice, inconsistent contact, poor distance control or simply don't understand why your golf ball isn't doing what you want it to do, Kelly can help identify the underlying issue and give you practical ways to improve.
