Darren Golsby

This site gives expression to my passion for golf.  The site has over 100 articles, audio, video and e- book golf instruction.

Rather than providing quick fixes and band-aid remedies a practical and structured approach to golf improvement has been adopted. Having earned (AAA) status as a golf coach for 15 years I have a solid understanding of golfer's abilities, deficiencies and patterns. These attributes combined with a love for teaching have developed into a highly-successful instruction system that is simple to understand, showing players what and why things go wrong and how to correct and improve their performance and consistency.

Early Life Lessons

Growing up in southern Sydney, Australia playing rugby league, baseball, tennis and soccer at A grade and state cup levels a lot of trophy's were collected along the way.

Born in 1974 I quickly found a passion for ball sports.

At around 8 was my first experience with golf and it soon became a passion, playing many golf tournaments and gaining lots of experience through wins and losses.

Entering the profession of golf in 1995 aged 21 with the idea of playing tournaments at the highest level a love of teaching was discovered along the way.

The challenge of explaining the golf swing and watching people improve is very enjoyable to me.

Teaching Beliefs

• Golf is a game for everyone to enjoy!
• The first lesson with a student is the most important and should involve formulating a plan.
• A picture says a thousand words, but what words?
• The downswing starts from the ground up!
• People rarely improve when they have no other model but themselves.

Teaching Background

Completing a traineeship with the Australian PGA, as well as extensive post Professional Development Programs, I am a AAA member of the Australian Professional Golfer's Association.

With 14 years teaching experience, not just in Australia, but worldwide, and being taught through the Australian P.G.A by some of the best golf instructors the world has to offer, this is how I strive to attain results:

1. Draw from all resources (tournaments, seminars, books, media, internet ...) dealing with any part of the game of golf and beyond.

2. Analyze information and test results and ideas in practice.

3. Implement and develop successful training routines.

4. Pass my knowledge onto other players, challenge them beyond their current skills within their limits - everybody is different.

Favorite Players: Pre-2000: Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus Post-2000: Rod Pampling, Tiger Woods
