ANDREW GOOD'S INSTRUCTION PHILOSOPHY
Learning golf is very individual since everyone is different. Because of this reason that golfers do develop individual styles, golf tuition requires an individual approach. One person’s swing medicine can be another’s poison. However, there still is one thing in common with the top players: they all understand the importance of sound fundamentals. Whether you are a beginner or a low handicapper, my teaching methods will reveal the fundamentals used by the top pros.
Looking back at 30+years of experience, I have been teaching thousands of students ranging from beginners to professionals and pride myself in being able to analyze the most important changes that need to be made to one’s game, and many of my students could champion in tournaments at amateur or professional level, e.g. Ben Evans the European Tour player.
