What to Expect
- Every coaching session at Grooves Golf starts with understanding you, your game and what you'd like to achieve.
- We'll discuss your goals, explore the areas of your game that need attention and identify the changes most likely to improve your performance.
- Depending on your needs, sessions may include:
- - Personalised swing coaching: Clear, practical guidance tailored to your ability and goals.
- - Trackman analysis: Using performance data and video where appropriate to understand your ball flight and identify opportunities for improvement.
- - Short game and putting: Developing the skills, shot choices and confidence needed to lower your scores.
- - On-course coaching: Taking your improvements onto the golf course, with a focus on decision-making, strategy and performance.
- You'll leave your session with a clear understanding of what we've worked on, why it matters and what to practise next.
- Whether it's your first golf lesson or you're an experienced player, expect a relaxed, supportive environment where coaching is built around you, not a one-size-fits-all method.
About Robert
I'm Rob Watkins, Co-Founder and Head PGA Professional at Grooves Golf, based at Rudding Park Golf Academy in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. With over 15 years of coaching experience, I've helped golfers of all ages and abilities improve their skills, build confidence and enjoy the game more. My coaching philosophy is simple: understand the individual, identify what will make the biggest difference and create a clear plan for improvement. Whether you're completely new to golf or an experienced player looking to lower your handicap, I combine personalised coaching, Trackman performance analysis and practical on-course development to help you achieve lasting results. At Grooves Golf, we offer individual coaching, small-group sessions, short game and putting development, on-course coaching and structured player development programmes. Our goal isn't simply to help you hit better shots on the practice ground. It's to help you play better golf where it matters most, on the course. If you're looking for professional golf lessons in Harrogate, I'd love to help you take the next step. Read More
