Coaching Philosophy
Lessons with me will be very bespoke to fit and suit you. I coach every golfer as an individual because every player has different levels of ability, flexibility and time to give to their game.

Why Book With Me
If you are looking for clear, simple and effective coaching then get in touch. I like to keep golf simple and the advice I give will be clear – not full of technical jargon. I look forward to seeing you soon.

STUDENT SUCCESS

Meet Vanessa, who has been steadily working away on her game with Michael Homewood at Horne Park. Last month, all the hard work paid off at the Ladies Club Championship for Vanessa, with scores of nett 65 on Saturday and an even better nett 64 on Sunday!

Not only did Vanessa win the handicap prize but she also won the scratch trophy too – now that’s what you call a double victory! Vanessa’s handicap has reduced by 6 strokes in the last year alone!

It just goes to show what can happen with some regular coaching and a little more practice! Well played Vanessa and great work Michael!
