Before you consider becoming involved in our training programme please
be aware that Instinctive Golf Coaching is not simply for professional
coaches. IGC is for anyone committed to the game and helping others. Coaches
embark on our training programmes simply as part of their own self-development
and, currently, IGC does not offer jobs to qualified coaches.
Instinctive Golf Coaching and its coaches are totally committed to moving
golf coaching away from the super-technical, super-analytical culture
which ultimately failed them as both players and as coaches. Unfortunately
an all too common theme that runs through our amazing family of coaches
is that they found their chosen vocation, for which they had so much passion,
had become simply a 'job'!
As a team we are moving golf coaching towards exploration, inspiration,
discovery, fun, freedom and learning!
At IGC...
- We do not believe "golf is different"!
- We do not believe in analysing the swing to the nth degree
- We do not believe in split-screens and comparisons!
- We do not believe telling is teaching!
- We do not believe in coaches who are not committed to 'walking-their-talk'
and growing their own games as well as their coaching!
- However we do
believe in constantly questioning ourselves, our actions, and everything
we once believed in!
At IGC...
- We believe in people’s amazing instinct to learn and problem-solve
- We believe in guiding our pupil’s exploration
- We believe that awareness precedes choice and choice precedes change
- We believe passionately in coaches who are on a journey towards mastery in
their own games and their coaching
- We believe in questioning skills
and 'drawing out'
- We believe in people!
If you are tired of 'fixing' swings and telling people what they are 'doing wrong',
and you can see the green in your life from the red then IGC is for you.
So get in touch and COME ON BOARD!!!!
Instinctive Golf Coaching Summits
At Instinctive Golf Coaching we believe that being a truly effective coach goes way beyond having an in-depth technical knowledge of the golf swing. Coaches that attend our summits join the ever growing band of like-minded people who are totally committed to being the best they can and making a difference!
During the summits, IGC Master Coaches Paul Affleck and Paul Eales along with
Founder Kendal McWade will share their coaching and playing experiences and give
you the tools to help integrate the knowledge you already posses have with your
pupil’s innate instinct to learn.
Our summits are a mixture of presentation, clinics, live coaching sessions and
'instinctive' work on your own game.
We believe that only through our own exploration can we truly understand the challenges our pupil’s face. Only through our willingness to look outside the culture of logic and conventionality can we discover how to be the best!
The Route Ahead
There are 3 levels for a person to achieve to become a fully-fledged
coach:

To achieve these levels, coaches must attend three 4-day coaching summits over
a minimum period of 12 months. These summits are held throughout each year at
various locations and give all interested parties plenty of opportunities to
