What Happens
Your golf assessment in Edinburgh, step by step
Skills check
You rate your own game across driving, approach, wedges, short game, bunkers and putting.
Movement screen and equipment check
How your body moves (not just your swing), plus a check of the clubs you're playing with.
TrackMan, Swing Catalyst and HackMotion
Data on what's actually happening, not guesswork, using whichever combination is most relevant to what we find.
What's holding you back, and why
We identify what matters most in your game right now. Sometimes that's one clear root cause; sometimes it's a few things working together. Either way, you get a change you can feel immediately.
Your written plan
Delivered into your CoachNow app, tied to your goal horizon, whether you continue with ongoing coaching or not.

Real Results
Real golfers. Measurable progress.
From my end-of-season reviews, 2024 to 2026. Handicaps are each golfer's lowest of the season, as reported by them. Figures as at October 2026.
I've been coached by Mike for two years. My handicap has dropped from 14 to 9 and I'm still improving. The difference is that he actually explains why — not just what to do.
I dropped from 102 to 88 in 3 months — without overhauling my swing.
Best coaching decision I've made. Clear plan, real progress, no waffle.

FAQ
Questions
A normal lesson often starts with something you think needs attention. The Assessment starts by finding out what actually needs attention.
No. Either way, you get your written plan in the CoachNow app. Continue with ongoing coaching if it's right for you, or take the plan and work on it yourself.
There's no fixed number. Your Assessment gives a clearer picture of where you're starting, what needs attention, and how much coaching is likely to help.
No. Golf's a skill sport. This works at any age or fitness level.
The Assessment is built for golfers who already play. Brand new to golf? Start with the Beginner Introduction to Golf instead. It's the right first step before an Assessment makes sense.
The Assessment is designed as your first step with me, so it's for new clients only. If we've already worked together, book a Golf Lesson or a Coaching Plan instead.
Complete the Assessment, and if you don't come away with a clear understanding of what's holding your game back and what to work on, full refund, if you ask within 7 days. In practice, that means you should be able to say, in your own words, what the main issue is, why it's happening, what to work on, and what to stop worrying about. And if partway through I decide I genuinely can't help you, I'll tell you honestly, stop there, and refund you in full.
