What you'll learn

Golf equipment is sold on marketing and bought on anxiety. Joe walks through what a new golfer genuinely needs, what a half set costs, when a fitting is worth paying for, and the expensive purchases that make no difference for at least two seasons.

Joe Queen

Golf Coach

Joe runs the school's beginner programme and has taken several hundred people from never having held a club to playing a full round comfortably. He is unusually good at the part most coaches skip: the etiquette, the kit, and the quiet worry about looking foolish on the first tee.
