Your Hosts

Chris Hanson

Enjoy a relaxed coaching atmosphere and learn from Chris’s experience of playing with many of the best players in the world in 94 tour events on the DP World Tour.

Chris specialises in performance coaching and the short game.

Working with Chris, you’ll learn how to improve chipping, pitching and bunker pay as well as how to control trajectory, improve your shot selection & lower your scores.

Mark Bentley

Mark is one of the UK’s most popular and well known putting coaches and AimPoint green reading instructors.

He has worked with golfers of all abilities through to DP World Tour Winners.

Once you understand AimPoint you’ll be able to read greens quickly and effectively in exactly the same way as the majority of players on PGA Tour.

Mark Bentley offers a 5 star service for golf putting tuition

Met Mark for the first time yesterday. First thing to say is that he came across a real gentleman and a good guy. As a beginner golfer and not been playing a year, I was made to feel very relaxed. The coaching was excellent and I left with a whatsapp summary video of the things I need to focus on. I also wanted a new putter, but Mark advised against it at this moment, showing me he wants what’s best for his client rather than his sales sheet. Would highly recommend.
