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.

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.

“Not only did I enjoy working with Nigel, I also enjoyed the uncomplicated nature of how he saw the golf swing.”
Andrew Coltart. European Tour Player and former Ryder Cup Team Member

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.
