Richard coaches players of all abilities from full time Professionals to the complete beginner and his emphasis on enjoyment and simplicity mean you will improve quickly and enjoy your time with him. Richard says- “ I feel it is very important that what ever level of golfer I am coaching that they leave any lesson with a knowledge of what and how to improve. Peoples lives are so busy that I try with all pupils, to provide them with a range of drills they can perform both at home and on the practice ground to help them improve. The basis of my coaching is fundamentals and ball striking. If we can get any pupil no matter their level, to improve their basics and their ability to strike the ball, the scores will come”
Junior Academy
The Junior Academy at Crosland Heath Golf Club gives youngsters from the age of 4 - 5 upwards a fantastic opportunity to learn golf. Crosland Heath is dedicated in conjunction with the Golf Foundation to promote;
- Professional and ethical values
- Inclusive and equitable practise
- Professional coaching and continuous development
The academy program runs all year round and is structured to encourage and motivate young people to take up golf. The Coaching takes place on the Huxley synthetic all year round practice area, the putting green and we also utilise the specifically designed short game area. All aspects of the game are covered starting with the basics of how to hold and swing a golf club, putting, chipping, irons, woods, golf etiquette, rules and playing the golf course. There is a premium placed on safety at the academy and all juniors are taught how to stay safe both on the practice area and on the golf course.
The academy is coached by Richard Lambert Head P.G.A Professional. The main aim of the Crosland Heath Junior Academy is that children come to learn how to play golf and are adequately prepared for becoming junior members but also more importantly to have fun and enjoy themselves.
