PGA Pro: David Saunders – Head Golf Coach

Dave Saunders is a PGA Pro in Sydney Northern Beaches at Pittwater Golf Centre

Hi my name is David Saunders, I have been teaching at Pittwater Golf Centre for 17 years.

The students that come to see me want to do one thing, and that is to play better golf. They may be beginners, elite players, professionals or just your average golfer playing in "golf hell".

In America they did a survey about people taking up golf and the results were horrific. 80% of players taking up the game will quit within the first twelve months. Too hard, too frustrating. Out of the 20% that survive, 80% of these golfers will play in "golf hell", not reaching their potential and struggling most times when they go onto the golf course. That leaves 20% of 20%, that are succeeding and are playing to their potential. As a human race we are failing at golf at a great rate. It's time to change that.

After 38 years as a PGA professional I have seen it all. Come and take a lesson and I will change your life. The way I teach my students to play better golf is to get them to crawl, walk and run. Furthermore, they can learn at a gradient that they can handle. In a lesson package I will give you the data that the elite players know. Then during the next lesson, we will review the data and we will do the data.

"Times through, equals certainty". In the end you will be out there making me look good.

Jack on Course for the Big Show

Could a 7-year-old local prodigy become Australia's next superstar golfer?

When you're seven Years old you don't bother limbering up. Practice swings? Also superfluous. With precisely zero ado Jack uses his 8-iron to knock a dozen balls high and true into the near distance. The and at contact - a crisp thwack - indicates this Mona Vale lad plays at a level incompatible with someone who is the same age as Prince George.
