Testimonials

As someone with nearly twenty years experience of teacher training, I'd like to think I know a good teacher when I see one. It didn't take long to recognize Nigel as someone with all the qualities of a great teacher. More than anything, he placed my learning at the heart of the process, not his teaching.

“Not only did I enjoy working with Nigel, I also enjoyed the uncomplicated nature of how he saw the golf swing.”

After another session of hitting balls and watching with envy the guys 3 bays away hitting right to left ball flight and me, moaning about my confidence sapping slice, a chance conversation with the pro, a small wager (which I lost) and 2 lessons now has me hitting draws and fades, if not quite to order, certainly in a manner I would not have believed possible. I no longer feel like a 8 handicapper waiting to be a 9 handicapper, I'm trying to hit shots, rather than hitting and hoping not to do something. I haven't rebuilt my swing, in fact I've only made a couple of minor adjustments. The main change is a thought process which has given me new confidence, it sounded simple and it was. I still hit bad shots but no longer get punished for the straight shots I hit when expecting a slice. I now enjoy practicing and the challenges I can set myself. I'm not just hitting balls into a field and hoping. This must be that game called golf I'd heard about.

What I liked particularly about the series of lessons with Nigel was that he allowed us to start at the point where I thought the problem was – and then gently, but quickly, guided me towards the point where he knew the solution lay. As opposed to deconstructing my existing swing, Nigel showed me the shots it was capable of producing- and then enabled me to develop the swings I needed to play the shots I was lacking. This created a much more positive learning experience than those I had encountered previously.

 

I’m now hitting shots that a few weeks ago I new for certain I couldn’t hit….. but then a few weeks ago I hadn’t met Nigel Burkitt.

 

Thanks to Nigel, I am now playing the game with a greater sense of joy and a greatly reduced sense of fear.

Nigel was our key professional in the Lake District who was involved in both the planning and delivery of many successful holidays for us over a number of years.

His golf skills can be taken as read; we received consistently excellent reports on Nigel from our guests who are invited to complete a questionnaire after their holiday.

As one who is a 19 handicapper, I found myself hitting long shots almost 90 degrees in the wrong direction [right]. After one 20 minute session from Nigel I suddenly found myself thinking the game by what I wanted to do with the ball. Suddenly again I found that when I adopted some simple thought processes and put them into action, the ball went long distances but straight down the range. It is safe to say that I no longer have a fear of slicing.

Just a line to thank you for the undoubted improvement in my game. Your simplistic approach to my somewhat unusual swing has worked wonders. Those three thoughts stay with me on the course.

Many thanks

I am a 66 year golfer who had not done a decent score in two years. Therefore my handicap increased from 19 to 22.

I sought the help of my club Pro, Mr Nigel Burkitt and asked him how I could improve. Lesson one was just something simple that I could practice. Three months later my handicap had dropped to 18. I returned to Nigel to ask how how I could maintain the way I was playing. He suggested a putting and chipping lesson. Now one month later, my handicap is 15.

Although I have always enjoyed playing, I didn't think at 66 I could improve as much. Thanks Nigel.

For a number of years I have used an iron off the tee due to erratic results when using a driver. 

I recently decided to have a lesson with Nigel Burkitt and after just one lesson, I am hitting my drives into the fairway most of the time. It's amazing!!!

He completely changed the way I use the driver and it works.

I had a game straight after my lesson with Nigel and was amazed how much I was able to keep the ball in play! It felt weird playing like that but by the end of the game I was feeling a lot better. For the first time, I'm feeling quite positive thanks to Nigel.

Since starting refresher lessons with Nigel, my swing / game has improved greatly. Nigel's techniques in tuition instill the confidence to achieve your aspirations. His approach not only focuses on the physical but also on the psychological which plays a big part in anyone's game. Each of my lessons has been thoroughly enjoyable as well as truly inspiring.

Indeed as Nigel states; "It is revolutionary coaching....because its simple."

If you think you could benefit with some extra tuition, give Nigel a call - I can assure that you won't regret it.
