Golf Lessons & Coaching Breaks

Welcome to Algarve Golf Coaching Breaks. These coaching breaks are designed to help players of all abilities to not only improve their short game and putting but help them improve their overall scoring, thus gaining more enjoyment from their golf. We will also be looking at various aspects of the long game.

The venue for these coaching sessions is the fantastic Dom Pedro Golf facilities, situated at the Vilamoura Golf Resort. The facilities allow us to coach in a relaxed and friendly environment, and because we coach in small groups, we are able to focus more individually on each golfer, allowing them to learn more effectively and to gain more insight into their own personal game.

We will cover all aspects of the short game, chipping, pitching and bunker play. With the right set up and mechanics golfers can be sure of improving their approach play.

On the putting green we will show you how to read greens, to judge the speed of putts and improve your confidence with simple putting techniques.

Along the way we will also provide insights to successfully hit your longer clubs more consistently.

About Robin

Scottish PGA Professional Robin Wilson brings with him a wealth of experience of working within the game of golf. With 25 years’ experience as a Club Professional, managing golf schools and as a Cranfield Golf Academy coach, Robin is delighted to welcome you to our Algarve Golf Schools and is proud to be associated with the Instinctive Golf method of coaching and convinced it is a ‘must experience’ way of playing and coaching golf. Robin speaks English, Portuguese and French.

After years of working on his game, reading ‘How to’ books on making the perfect swing whilst listening and following the latest fad on the golf swing, he finally found the way forward through Instinctive Golf… “It was within me all the time, lights came on and a world of possibilities opened up to me. All I had to do was commit to exploring the way I wanted to play, understand that having fun also meant that I could learn and trust in the swing I was born with”.

Phillip and Robin both continue to work on and improve all aspects of their personal games, as well as playing with and passing on a wealth of experience to help others to improve theirs.
