Simplifying Golf Coaching
with Kendal McWade



Self discovery, task-led and problem based learning have been acknowledged in coaching and academic circles historically as some of the most effective ways to learn new motor skills. Thus this masterclass presents coaches with a fantastic development opportunity which will enable us to reflect on our current practices.

The 'concept' of Instinctive Golf Coaching was born out of Kendal McWade’s own experiences both as a coach and a player. Kendal has gone on to work with a number of professionals including numerous Ryder cup players.

This masterclass will entail live coaching sessions where you will witness the power of Task-Led learning and how simply it alters poor techniques and develops skill. You will also and more importantly experience it for yourself. This day is a mixture of presentations, clinics, live coaching and practical so please bring your clubs!

The itinerary for the day is as follows:

9.30:   Simplifying Golf Coaching Presentation. Meeting room.

10.45: Live lesson: On range or short game area.

12.30: Lunch

1.30:   Skill Development Practical. Here you will have the chance to solve a number of skills challenges for yourselves. This section always creates lots of learning opportunities where we bring everyone together to discuss a specific scenario that has arisen.

3.30: Review + Q&A.

4.00: Close

Date:Tuesday 27th March

Venue:Merrist Wood Golf Club  (A hot breakfast and lunch will be provided)
