It’s been two years since I last had a golf lesson. Back then, I was still getting to grips with the basics, learning mostly indoors at Pitch London, hitting balls in a simulator and figuring out how to make consistent contact. It was all new, exciting, and slightly overwhelming.
Fast forward to now, and my relationship with golf feels totally different. I’m no longer a complete novice. I know what works for me, what doesn’t, and how it feels when I strike the ball well. That understanding makes the process much more collaborative. Instead of placing all my trust in the coach as the expert and me as the student absorbing information, it feels like a partnership. We’re analysing things together, working out what’s happening, and why.
