Individual Lessons
The Academy is pleased to offer a selection of individual lesson programmes that are
both personalised and enjoyable.
Choose from either a 30 minute or one hour tailor made private lesson with one of our
Golf Professionals. During the 30 minute session your Golf Professional will be able to
help you with any aspect of your game from driving to putting. The one hour lesson is
more suitable for new golfers who require a more detailed lesson or for players who
wish to cover more than one aspect of the game.
Our philosophy ensures that your commitment to improve is rewarded with our
commitment to assist you. As well as instruction on your swing you can expect guidance
in key areas such as custom fitting, physical conditioning, injury prevention and
treatment.
To encourage you to practice, we will give you complimentary unlimited use of the
Academy driving range facilities on the day of your lesson.

Lessons with the Head and Senior PGA Professionals
Stephen Deane, Head Professional
Stephen is a great believer that Trackman is the best teaching tool
on the market today. Using Trackman during a lesson eliminates
guessing by showing the instructor exactly what’s happening at
impact on every shot. Video is great but only offers two dimensional
feedback while Trackman provides three dimensional impact and
ball flight data. Students learn very quickly how club path and face
angle effect ball flight. They then learn feel through numbers because
Trackman delivers real-time feedback on each swing while showing
the resultant ball flight, making the lesson even more effective.
Trackman’s accuracy and precision helps students dial in yardages while the different
ball and club data points makes ball and club fitting simple.

Dubai Golf Junior Programme
The Dubai Golf Junior Programme has been created for youngsters aged between seven
and seventeen years old and allows them to progress through different levels as they
become more experienced golfers.
The entry level to the programme ensures that sound fundamentals are installed from
the beginning. As the child moves through the various stages of development the Golf
Professionals will have a greater focus on the physical, etiquette, rules and on-course
performance areas of the game. Our ultimate goal is to provide your child with the
facilities, skill sets and knowledge required to reach their full potential.
Each child will receive a Dubai Golf Junior Passbook containing all levels of
development with physical and technical challenges for each level. As the junior
progresses to the higher levels, individual assessment profiling will ensure all juniors
work on key personally focused elements developing their game for future elite golf.
Classes are limited to a maximum of six children per instructor and over a 15 week term,
your child will spend 50 minutes per week with one of our Golf Professionals. Custom
designed junior clubs are available if required.
Along with the Passbook provided containing exercises, rules, challenges and online
tuition, each child will receive an instructional DVD covering the lesson content.
