Steve Cottingham, Academy Head Coach

After several years of teaching around the world, I settled down in Durban and set out to help as many golfers as I could to improve their game and reach their full potential. In my travels, I was fortunate enough to meet some of the finest teachers in the world and this experience has enabled me to develop a systematic approach to learning and understanding the golf swing. 

I believe that everyone can learn to play golf and everyone can continually improve their golf game. If you understand the core elements of the golf swing you can only improve, and hit the ball better than you ever thought possible!

I use a systematic approach to teaching, which simplifies the steps required to learn and improve your swing. This gives you, the student, an understanding of how to create a solid impact, from putting through to the full swing. The principles should be the same.

Tuition with poorly fitted equipment is at best INEFFECTIVE! As a professional teacher, it is my responsibility to optimise my student’s chances of successful and long-term improvement. Tom Shea (Henry-Griffitts Company) taught me all I needed to know about club fitting and the importance of using correctly fitted equipment. I have used this knowledge to successfully help hundreds of students.

Club fitting is an essential part of my teaching philosophy, and I see myself as the right person to give equipment advice to you, my students. I know you, I know your swing and I know what you are working on with your game. Who else should advise you if not me? 

Allow me to get you on the path to playing better golf.
