Q. I have never played golf before. Does this mean that these golf-training weeks are too difficult for me?

A. No, not at all. We cater specific weeks for beginners to the game. In fact, we encourage those that want to start golf to get the right start and learn the fundamentals from us early on.

Q. I take lessons with my club professional. Will your courses upset what training and advice he has given me?

A. We believe that a professional who has spent considerable time with a golfer should know just about everything that there is to know about your game. Saying that, we also feel that sometimes a second (or indeed a third) professional opinion can be helpful. If we were to be the slightest bit helpful then surely that will result in better scores, hopefully a lower handicap and most importantly a more enjoyable experience on the golf course. Our professionals have varied skills and often, local professionals are unable to have the same level of experience as our professionals have combined.

Q. I have played golf for the last 10 years and my game has deteriorated a lot lately. What will these courses do for me?

A. We feel that it is important to discuss what people's expectations are as well as discussing your mental attitude and physical condition. That way, we can access what improvements to your overall approach could benefit you.

Q. I am an assistant club professional with aspirations to play full time competitive golf. Does your course cater for my level?

A. Yes definitely. Our professionals have played competitive golf at an international level as well as instructing golfers with the same caliber as you. We will fine-tune you in areas that can make the difference of lowering your stroke average and look intensively at the mental game.

Q. My wife thinks I play too much golf as it is now. How am I going to try a get a week off in February to play more golf?

A. No problem. Bring her. Seriously though, it is fine to bring a partner along whether they play golf or not. We are generally located near a beach in a country where the sun shines most of the time. Costs are adjusted accordingly for non-golfers.

Q. If I find that the week's course is too intensive am I able to take a day off?

A. Yes, we would like people to advise us a day or two in advance if you want to have a break.

Q. I play golf regularly with three friends is it possible for all of us to come on the trip and play together.

A. Yes and No. It is no problem to bring friends or family along but we mix playing groups up as our golf schools are designed to give you the most exposure as possible. Very often playing with different people can show you other people's shot making skills (or weaknesses) which can in the long run, let you see the game from different prospective.

Q. Am I able to go on more than one training week a year?

A. Generally not. Due to high demand for these training weeks we try and allow as many people get an opportunity to experience the schooling.

Q. Are there basic requirements in order to apply for the school?

A. Yes. We expect people to be mannerly, considerate and honest as the game of golf itself demands. Except for the beginner's courses, a handicap certificate authorized by the appropriate country of origin golf governing body is required.

Q. What qualifications do these professionals have?

A. Please see the 'Professional Profiles' section.

Q. I am unable to attend the schools in the spring. Do you arrange summer training schools?

A. Yes. We switch country location for availability and temperature reasons. Please see our European Schools section.

Q. I would like my kids to come along to the training schools. Is this possible?

A. Yes indeed, however we try and arrange a kids and parents school separately depending on demand. As kids are the future we encourage parents to introduce their kids to a game for life that encourages discipline, health and honesty.

Q. Am I able to pay for the schools on an installment basis?

A. Yes. After an initial deposit of 25% we can arrange monthly payment schemes that are subject to terms and conditions. See 'Booking Agreement'.

Q. Do you cater for public or private organizations as well as golf societies?

A. Yes, group bookings are most welcome with special discounts offered.
