  I initially received a gift voucher from my partner for a few lessons and I have since carried on with lessons for the last year and a half. I have improved from a 14HCP with a consistent fade/slice to an 8HCP over 18 months, where nearly every aspect of my swing has been tweaked/altered. I'm sure I would have improved twice as quickly had I attended lessons and practiced every week (with 'unlimited' free practice being made available if you attend lessons regularly, which is amazing by the way), but Richard has been very patient with me skipping weeks and booking in last minute due to my busy schedule. I'm fully expecting my HCP to drop further this year just off the back of improvements already made, as my more recent results suggest. I would highly recommend Richard and The Golf School to anyone looking to work at improving their game and I am excited to continue to improve so I can enjoy golf more so for the nuances of playing and shot-shaping, rather than just trying to hack it to the hole and hoping for the best!

  Prior to Easter 2022 I could best be described as a 'hacker' who possessed some clubs but hadn't swung them in anger in far, far, too long a time. With significant input from Richard, I have built a more consistent swing from the ground up. Not only that, the way in which we have gone about getting to where I am currently should stand me in good stead going forward. In addition, the practice facilities (which I utilise between lessons) are equipped with video cameras and the appropriate software, and radar technology, so that there is a wealth of feedback on hand to aid one's progress. Richard's approach emphasises teaching you to teach yourself, such that you begin to learn what you are actually doing and develop the understanding of what you need to do to correct things. Now, I'm probably best described as an 'informed hacker', in that whilst the bad shots are still there, they aren't as bad as they were and I can (to a small degree) coach myself on the hoof to correct things as I'm going round. Richard has a very well-earned Five-star recommendation from this satisfied customer.

  Started my journey at The Golf School in September as I have finally settled on a singular hobby! I have played golf on/off since being a junior but never really stuck to it as life unfortunately got in the way. I decided on The Golf School mainly due to the technology used providing key ball/club data as I’m a bit of a nerd. Having had a few lessons in the past just looking at swing videos or smashing balls down the range didn’t really do it for me. I initially had an intro session to see how Richard taught and soon after I started a programme. The teaching is thought provoking and has completely changed my swing for the better and this is backed up with data. If you are in or around the area I would highly recommend The Golf School. Richard is a great teacher and provides an enjoyable experience. You’re made to feel comfortable in the learning environment and not afraid to ask silly questions to help you understand better. The other huge benefit in between lessons you can use the facility to practice. This has been great to keep swinging in the cold and dark embedding the learning. Handicap-wise as this is often a point that people want to know. I was 23 and currently at 17 in a short time, this was curtailed mainly by the weather change. I’m definitely going to smash through that this year, operation single figure is now underway.

  Richard has been helping me with my game for the past month and I have already seen a vast improvement in my swing that has resulted in me shooting a personal best score of 77. I would highly recommend Richard's teaching to others as it uses data driven analysis to highlight areas to improve. Additionally the ability to be able to practice on the Trackman and get feedback from the data it provides to ensure you're appropriately focusing on improving the right areas is invaluable. Thanks Richard for your support and help, I look forward to continuing to work with you going forward to improve my game.

  Just recently finished my second set of lessons as a high handicap golfer. My goal was to be able to play to a handicap and feel a measure of control / confidence around a course. Richard (Coach) clearly explained and helped me improve my technique, and I've had the results both in social golf and more recently on a day with customers where I've been able to relax, enjoy the game and hold my own on the team score ! Thanks Richard.

  This is the perfect place to improve your game! And so much fun! Getting in touch with Rick was the best golfing decision I have made. Rick’s method of teaching is scientific but very easy to grasp and understand. Once you complete the introduction you appreciate how his methods are proven to deliver results…FASTER! Add the around the clock practice access to the facilities and technology the golf school is the best place to improve and develop your game. Working with Rick from March I have rebuilt my swing, significantly changing my path and angle of attack. The awareness and understanding I now have around my swing really helps mid round. Having not broke 80 for over a year I have shot three consecutive medals in the mid 70s and lost a full shot on my WHS. Thanks Rick can’t wait for the next stage.

  I have been having lessons with Richard for over a year and have gone from struggling to post any kind of score in medals to competing consistently and even winning several competitions. Whilst patience is definitely needed should you decide to take up lessons, I have definitely seen this pay off in the long run and look forward to continuing my improvement at The Golf School. You also have all the golfing technology you could look for to analyse everything about your game, so this provides excellent feedback during practice sessions and lessons.

  when I had come to a point that I was not enjoying my golf i went to see Richard based on proximity and reviews,Richard taught me more about understanding the golf swing than any previous lessons I had taken. My goal was to re invigorate my love of golf, which has been accomplished, this was achieved by understanding what I was doing within the swing and building confidence and routine, i played the first handicap qualifying round off the whites last saturday and my WHS index has gone down, 100% down to what I learnt from Richard.

  Richard is a great coach and has helped me see significant improvements in my swing. The facilities he offers are second to none and make starting a package with him great value for money. Highly recommend.

  Been utilising the facilities at the Golf School for a couple of years now, can't recommend enough. With a package of lessons under my belt the handicap has dropped, the game is better and more enjoyable to play. Richard is an excellent coach that tailors the sessions very much to the individual, which I now believe is a big part of what you're paying for without realising. Highly recommend, if we were both in prison, I'd protect him if he dropped the soap in the showers. The best place to learn golf in Manchester without a doubt.
