Golf Education

A Game International Golf Academy prides itself on our holistic approach to golf education but recognise that our golf education programs will not suit all, particularly professionals. To address this situation we provide intensive programs for those interested in performing at the elite level as well as ongoing support to ensure optimum performance. Our Skills Coaching Programs focus solely on golf, are normally short term (1-4 weeks) (example course below) and can be tailored to address a specific aspect of the game. Our faculty have coached/assisted more than 100 international tournament professionals over the last ten years. Many of these players continue to use our skills to optimise their performances on an ongoing basis. Some of the services we provide include:

Technical development by Australia’s best coaches
World class sports psychology, physiotherapy, diet and fitness advisors
Sophisticated skills testing, analysis and feedback
Cutting edge training aids

Tailor Made Programs

An example of a general Skills Coaching program is listed below, but we would like to emphasise that these programs are extremely flexible. They can be one-on-one (although we prefer groups of six or more), include holiday options, include various accommodation options and vary in length and content. If you need to sharpen your game then contact us for more information.

If you want to be the best golfer you can be, need to address some issues with your game or simply want to update your skills, than A-Game International Golf Academy will arm you with all the tools and knowledge you need to optimise your performance.
