“He keeps things simple but effective. He is patient and encouraging, and at the end of each lesson he always leaves you with something to work on until the next session. My handicap has now come down from 31 to 21.”Paul Lapham

Featured player story
Ray Healey · Handicap Index 7 → 3.9
Ray came back to golf after a long break. Through structured coaching, playing and purposeful range practice, he achieved his goal of moving from Handicap Index 7 to 5—and then improved further to a career-low Handicap Index of 3.9.
“Mark’s lesson planning is carefully structured and well thought through. I could not be happier with the progress I have made and would not hesitate to recommend Mark to anyone—from higher-handicap golfers to single-figure players.”Ray Healey

Progress looks different for every golfer.
Real experiences from golfers Mark has helped at different stages of their game.
“I’d never played more than a few rounds of crazy golf before starting lessons with Mark. He helped me with every aspect of the game, from buying clubs to etiquette. I went from no clue to regularly being under 100 within a year.”Ben Sumner
“What I like about Mark’s coaching is he makes it so easy. We work on one thing, he gives me homework to learn a move, and when I see him two weeks later we move onto the next stage.”Marcus McDonnell
“From our first attempts on the driving range to our final putts on the golf course, Mark guided us through with patience, perseverance, kindness and fantastic technical knowledge.”David & Ann Marie Johnson
“Within a few lessons my putting, chipping and pitching improved immeasurably. I have managed to reduce my handicap by eight points since starting with Mark.”Dinesh Nathwani
“For the last three months I’ve enjoyed being a part of Mark Griffiths Performance Club by being able to regularly catch up with Mark between our booked individual lessons. My lessons plus the Performance Club meetings over this summer have helped lower my handicap and improved my knowledge of what I need to do to keep lowering and be more consistent. The structure of having it midweek definitely helps with the practice needed between playing on the course.”Ian Magdin · Handicap Index 24 → 20
