Steve Ellis
Teaching Professional & Director of Golf
I started playing golf at the tender age of 6 and by the time I had reached 12 I was playing off a handicap of 6….
Then like many other 14 year olds I discovered Girls, music and football. I had no time to play golf and put my clubs away for 22 years, I never picked up a club in all of that time!
While away from golf I played semi professional football, had a career as a session musician then 18 years in business, the last 6 coaching Managers and supervisory staff across London and Essex.
Then I needed another change! And after lots of hard work, coaching and practice I qualified as a professional golf teacher in 2004.
Now I can honestly say I enjoy everyday by helping others learn and develop in this wonderful sport of ours.
I believe coaching or tuition is an interactive process where the coach guides and facilitates the coachee’s progress towards defined goals. It helps them to understand the root cause of the problem or problems, and more importantly, how to overcome them. Coaching helps people build on their strengths, thus unlocking their potential and helping them gain the success they desire.
For people that are new to the game I can ensure you that I have a fun, relaxed but professional teaching style and whenever possible keep things very simple. We will only progress to another part of the swing or game when we both agree the part we are working on has been fully ingrained.
And finally… (I suppose this comes from my business background) but I get very frustrated when many of the teachers and coaches in the golf world don’t measure the progress their pupils are making.
I guarantee that you will improve while working with me and we will measure the improvement by using video, by analysing your golf swing using the latest technology available and the good old fashioned methods like how you feel, whether your handicap is reducing or whether you’ve had your best ever round.
I can’t wait to start working with you!
