Your Coach · Indoor Golf School

THE COACH WHO SHOWS YOU THE NUMBERS.

“Most golfers have never seen what their swing is actually doing. I built this studio to change that, one session at a time.”

I’m Richard Gilling, a PGA-qualified coach and the founder of this indoor golf school. I’ve spent over a decade watching golfers invest in lessons, new clubs, and YouTube fixes and leave with nothing permanent.

What I realised early in my coaching career is that most golfers don’t fail to improve because they lack effort. They fail because no one has ever shown them an objective picture of their own swing. That’s what Trackman changes. That’s what this studio is built around.

THE ROAD HERE

This isn’t a lesson pack. It’s a complete transformation programme — with technology and accountability built in at every step. Richard will help you become a better golfer with a personalised plan focused on overall game improvement

Early years

Fell in love with the game

Started playing as a teenager. Became obsessed with understanding why the ball does what it does.

PGA Training

Qualified as PGA Professional

Formal coaching qualification. Trained under experienced professionals. Started coaching at a local club.

First Trackman

Data changes everything

First time using Trackman in a coaching session. Watched a student’s entire mental model of their swing collapse — and rebuild, correctly, within an hour.

SAM PuttLab

Certified putting analyst

Added SAM PuttLab to the coaching toolkit. Now every aspect of the game can be measured precisely.

Today

This studio. This system.

A purpose-built indoor coaching studio with Trackman, SAM PuttLab, 2-camera setup, and a method that produces measurable results every time.

1 hour per session

I Started Where You Are

I was a frustrated golfer before I was a coach. I spent years playing by feel, selecting clubs by gut instinct, guessing my carry distances, trying tips from magazines and YouTube. My handicap moved slowly and unpredictably. I couldn’t understand why some days I’d hit 9 greens and other days I’d miss them all with the same swing.

What I didn’t know, what nobody had ever told me, was that my attack angle was −5°, my smash factor was 1.30, and I was losing 30 yards on every drive through pure inefficiency. Not effort. Not fitness. Mechanical inefficiency that a 10-minute Trackman session would have revealed in an instant.

“The day I first saw my own numbers on a Trackman screen, I realised I hadn’t really understood golf at all. I’d been playing a completely different game to the one I thought I was playing.”

Opinions Are Cheap. Data Is Honest.

When I qualified as a PGA professional, the dominant coaching model was observation — watch a student swing, make a judgement call, prescribe a fix. For experienced coaches with sharp eyes, this works reasonably well. But it has one fundamental flaw: the human eye cannot see face angle at impact to 0.1° accuracy. It cannot measure smash factor or spin rate. It cannot compare your swing today to your swing last month.

Trackman can. SAM PuttLab can. And once I started coaching with those tools, my students’ improvement rates went up dramatically — not because I became a better coach, but because I stopped guessing and started measuring. The students who’d spent years bouncing between coaches, never quite improving, started making permanent changes within a few sessions.

The reason is simple: when you can see the problem precisely, you can fix it precisely. When you’re working from an opinion, you might fix it. When you’re working from a number, you know exactly what changed and why.

The Studio Changes What's Possible

I built this indoor studio because I was frustrated with the limitations of outdoor coaching. Wind affecting ball flight. Sun glare on screens. Shared bays on busy driving ranges. Inconsistent surfaces for putting work. All of it creates noise that makes precise coaching harder than it needs to be.

Indoors, every lesson is filmed from two angles, every shot is measured on Trackman, every putting stroke is captured by SAM PuttLab. The lighting is consistent. The surface is flat. There are no distractions. A student gets more useful data in one 60-minute indoor session than in six months of outdoor practice.

And the unlimited practice bay access means the work doesn’t stop between lessons. Most golfers take a lesson, then don’t reinforce the change for two weeks. The habit fades. Old mechanics return. The same lesson gets taught again. The bay access breaks that cycle entirely.

MY COACHING PHILOSOPHY

01 Data first, always

Every instruction I give is backed by a Trackman number or a SAM metric. If I can’t show you the data, I don’t say it. This keeps me honest, keeps my coaching precise, and keeps your improvement measurable rather than imagined.

02 Plain English, no jargon

You don’t need to know what “kinematic sequence” means. You need to know what to change and why it will help. I translate technical swing science into simple, feelable adjustments — the kind you can repeat on the first tee without thinking about it.

03 Practice makes permanent, not perfect

Perfect practice in one session means nothing if you don’t reinforce it. That’s why unlimited bay access is built into every package. I’d rather you hit 50 balls every other day between lessons than 300 balls once a fortnight. Volume between sessions is what makes changes permanent.

04 Results you can measure

Your improvement is documented in Trackman data and handicap records — not my opinion of how you looked hitting a 7-iron. Before and after numbers. Combine test scores. Handicap certificates. Real proof you can hold in your hand and show your playing partners.

What to expect

YOUR FIRST SESSION WITH ME

A lot of golfers arrive expecting a traditional lesson — a coach watching from behind, offering opinions, giving tips to try on the range next time you play. That’s not what happens here.

From the moment you step into the studio, everything is measured. The cameras run. Trackman captures data. And by the end of the session, you leave understanding your swing scientifically for the first time.

More About Us

First 10 minutes — I listen

What's frustrating you? What have you tried? What are your goals? I need to understand your game before I analyse it. The coaching starts before you pick up a club.

You hit shots — Trackman captures everything

No instruction yet. I want to see your natural game first. Club speed, ball speed, smash factor, attack angle, spin rate — all captured before I say a word about your swing.

We review the data together

I show you the numbers on screen and explain what each one means for your game. Most students say this moment alone is worth the session fee — finally understanding why their game does what it does.

We fix one thing at a time

Not six things. One thing — the most important one. You practise it. Trackman shows the data moving in real time. You leave with one specific change and a written drill to reinforce it.

Watch our intro and elevate your golf skills and game with me.

“I’d had lessons before but never anything like this. Seeing my Trackman data for the first time was eye-opening — I had no idea my smash factor was that low.

By lesson 6 it had gone up significantly and I could feel the difference.

FAQs

Consectetur adipiscing elit sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. enim veniam quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laborisaliquip exea commodo.

Is indoor coaching as good as outdoor lessons?

For technique work, indoor is better. Controlled conditions, fixed cameras, Trackman on every shot. No wind affecting ball flight, no sun glare on the screen, no other golfers watching. Every swing change you make translates directly to the course because it’s your mechanics we’re improving — not course management.

Do my 10 lessons have an expiry date?

No. Your 10 sessions have no expiry. Book them weekly, fortnightly, or around your schedule. The only thing we ask is that you keep momentum — taking 3 months between sessions makes progress harder to maintain. We’ll advise on the best pacing for your goals.

What is the Trackman Combine test?

The Combine is a standardised 60-shot test across 6 clubs that scores your accuracy and consistency — the same test used to benchmark PGA Tour players. You take it on lesson 1 and lesson 10. The score comparison is the most objective measure of improvement available in golf coaching.

What does "unlimited video practice" actually mean?

It means you can book the studio bay as often as you like between your coached sessions — at no additional cost. You hit balls, the cameras run, Trackman captures your data. Your coach reviews your practice footage before your next lesson and adjusts the plan. Most students come in 2–3 times per week between lessons.

I'm a complete beginner — is this package right for me?

Absolutely. Beginners actually progress fastest in this format because there are no bad habits to unlearn. The Trackman data gives you an objective baseline from lesson one and the improvement curve over 10 sessions for a beginner is dramatic. Several of our best before/after results are first-time golfers.

£560 feels like a big investment. Is it worth it?

Break it down: that’s £56 per coached session — less than most single golf lessons in the area, and this includes Trackman, filming, and unlimited bay access. A new driver costs £400+ and won’t improve your swing. A society membership costs more and doesn’t come with a coach. This is the highest-ROI investment you can make in your game.
