Golf Swing Clinics



Perfect your golf swing with a Swing Build Golf Clinic at a Warner Leisure Hotel.

For those hooked on the Royal and Ancient game there's no better way to really up your game, whether you're a high handicapper or a beginner looking to build your game.

The programme designed by top coach David Blair and delivered by his team of professionals, has been developed over thousands of hours on the practice range, coupled with minute technical research of golf's greatest players to develop an easy to understand swing that you can always rely on.

Swing Build Golf Clinic - Stage 1
Our stage 1 clinic is the start of your journey towards the swing you are capable of! (suitable for beginner through to low handicappers). Forget the "faults and fixes" approach used by most professional golf coaches - we will not attempt to fix your errors, but instead will work with you to help you to build a swing, introducing the Swing Build philosophy.

In this clinic we will teach you how to produce club head speed with effortless power. This stage builds with 2 hours intensive Swing Build instruction to the half swing, and in most cases this is more powerful and accurate than the students original full swing.

You will receive a short DVD of your swing to take away with you, with footage of both before and after instruction.

Swing Build Golf Clinic - Stage 2
Our stage 2 clinic is the second step on your journey to your new swing and suitable for anyone who has previously completed a Swing Build Stage 1 clinic.

In this clinic we take you from the half swing through to the full swing and introduce a little rhythm, timing and tempo. With the new exercises introduced and with a little hard work you will be amazed with the results.

You will receive a short DVD of your swing to take away with you, with footage of both before and after instruction. All clinics involve over 2 hours intensive Swing Build instruction.

Suitable for anyone who has previously completed a Swing Build Stage 1 clinic.

Swing Build Golf Clinic - Stage 3
The final step of a 3 part journey to your new swing!

Our stage 3 clinic is where we help you find golf's "Holy Grail" i.e effortless power and pure swing all done with subconscious competence. This means that the golfer can generate tremendous club head speed and accuracy by using the correct swing fundamentals and technique. Just the same as the top golfers in the world!

You will receive a short DVD of your swing to take away with you, with footage of both before and after instruction. All clinics involve over 2 hours intensive Swing Build instruction.

Suitable for anyone who has previously completed Swing Build Stage 1 and 2 clinics.
