Teaching Philosophy

Better golf starts with understanding your ball flight and how you deliver the club to the ball. My priority is to help you make solid contact more often, with a movement you can repeat. I coach the person in front of me. Your natural movement, physical capabilities, goals and time available to practise all shape the changes we make. My Plane Truth training informs my approach, but every lesson starts with what you and your ball flight need. I believe positions such as forward shaft lean should develop from how the club moves. Trying to force an impact position can add unnecessary tension and make the swing harder to repeat. I'll explain the reason for a change in plain language, then give you a clear feel or drill to work with. You don't need a long list of swing thoughts. You need to know what matters most for your game and how to practise it. Whether we're working on your long game, short game or putting, the aim is the same: more consistent contact, greater confidence and more enjoyment on the course.

About the coach

I'm Tom Godwin, PGA Professional and founder of TG Golf. With 28 years of coaching experience, I've helped golfers from complete beginners to players on the men's and ladies' professional tours.

My coaching is for golfers who want to understand their game, strike the ball more consistently and enjoy their golf more. If work and family leave you time to play or practise only once a week, I'll help you focus on changes you can work on between rounds, including practical drills at home.

My career has included coaching roles at Gleneagles, Queenwood and Rockliffe Hall, where I set up the golf academy. I bring that experience to personalised coaching across the full swing, short game and putting.

Through Skillest, my aim is to give you a clear explanation of what your swing needs and a manageable plan to help you improve. Let's build a game you can trust.

On Skillest, you can get private instruction with an elite golf coach without even leaving your home. Just record your golf swing and send it to your coach, along with any goals, questions, or other information that will help your coach create the right plan for you.
