OG Golf Coaching Academy

A structured academy for golfers of every level — built on mastering three fundamentals: contact, curvature and carry.

Who we are

A coaching academy built around your game.

OG Golf Coaching Academy is based at Woodside Golf Club in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, led by coach Oliver Gray. We coach beginners, club golfers and competitive players — indoors on the simulator, outdoors on the range and out on the 9-hole course.

Every session is measured and recorded, so what changes in your swing is shown to you rather than described, and progress is reviewed lesson to lesson.

What to expect
A clear diagnosis, one or two changes, and drills you can actually repeat.
Who it's for
Beginners, juniors, club golfers and competitive players alike.

The three principles

Contact, curvature and carry.

Every lesson, programme and drill in the academy is built around mastering these three fundamentals — in that order. Get them right and everything else in the golf swing has a reason to exist.

01

Contact

Strike first. Low-point control and centred contact are what make distance, flight and consistency possible in the first place.

02

Curvature

Clubface and path control the shape of the shot. Once you own your curve, you can aim with confidence and stop losing balls sideways.

03

Carry

Reliable carry numbers turn a swing into a scoring tool. Flightscope radar makes your distances known, not guessed.

Three ways to train

Choose in-person, online, or a hybrid of both.
