P.G.A Coach - Darren Golsby

​

If you are confused by a deluge of conflicting information, suffering from inconsistency, lack the distance you'd like to have, or can't get rid of your pulled irons and sliced woods, don't feel bad...you are not alone.

​

Hi and welcome. With over 15 years of full-time experience, I have successfully taught golfers of all standards and helped them achieve their individual goals.

​

I offer professional golf lessons in Sydney to help you build your swing and improve your game based on understanding and performing these fundamentals:

​

1. Controlling the low point of your swing.

2. Hit the golf ball far enough to enjoy the game.

3. Understanding how the clubface relates to the swing path to control direction.

​

Because the golf ball is on the ground and not moving, the precision of the strike is paramount. The easiest way to achieve this is to build a powerful and repeatable swing with the fewest moving parts.

​

My biggest focus is getting the club into the correct delivery position coming into the ball to produce consistency.

​

Having worked with and been coached by Gary Edwin for many years he has had the biggest influence on my teaching along with some other great people I met along the way.

I hope to see you soon.
