Why Coaching?
We’re passionate about helping you play better golf.
Every golfer enjoys the game more when they’re hitting good shots and playing well. This is our mission for you.
Think back to your last few rounds and try to pinpoint an area that cost you shots…
Maybe, you had too many three-putts as a result of poor distance control? Or did you miss too many fairways to the right meaning you had to chip out sideways? It could be that you play well in practice rounds with your friends but struggle to replicate that in competitions?
Through our experiences in the game and our PGA education, we appreciate that every golfer is different. That’s why we offer a range of lessons and packages to suit everyone.
Lessons will cover:
- Golf Fundamentals
- Swing Basics
- Short Game
- Long Game
- Course Management
Our Staff
Richard Woods - Head PGA Professional
Richard joined Dainton Park as Assistant Golf Professional in 2011 following 10 years working for American Golf in Plymouth. He brought with him a wealth of retail and club fitting experience. After qualifying as a PGA Professional, he has developed a relaxed and intuitive teaching style, equally comfortable introducing complete beginners to the game as he is coaching elite county players. Richard enjoys equal success on the Devon and West of England PGA circuits, including victory in the Kenyon Order of Merit Trophy in 2015/16.
Brad Sercombe - Assistant PGA Professional
Brad joined Dainton Park as a junior member, and soon realised he wanted a career in golf. Brad then turned professional at the age of 18. Currently Brad is going through his training with the PGA. He also plays an active role in organising and processing golf competitions and handicap adjustments at Dainton Park combined with his own golf coaching, and he is instrumental in running the junior membership section alongside the Junior Academy. Brad continues to enjoy success playing golf, and he is always happy to help both newbie and avid golfers.
