Golf Lessons & Coaching
With Andrew Gurney (AKA COACH)
Elite Golf Coaching in the Bay of Plenty
Your Journey to Better Golf Starts Here. Whether you are a beginner learning the fundamentals, a club golfer frustrated by a plateau, or a competitive player seeking a tournament edge, you need more than just "tips"—you need a plan.
I work with players of all levels across Tauranga, Katikati, and Omokoroa, believing that everyone can improve regardless of age or physical limitations. The secret isn't finding a "perfect" swing; it's finding the most efficient swing for your body.
My Philosophy: No Two Swings Are Alike I coach on a strict case-by-case basis. As humans, we don’t all move the same way, so why should we swing the golf club the same way?
Using TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) screenings and Trackman data, I identify how your body moves to build a swing that is powerful, consistent, and injury-free. I coach the individual, not a method.
Why I Focus on Programs, Not Quick Fixes While I offer initial assessments, I believe that real improvement requires commitment. You wouldn't expect to master the guitar or a new language in one hour—golf is no different.
That is why 99% of my students thrive in Coaching Programs. By committing to a plan (usually in 12-week blocks), we move beyond "band-aid fixes" to make lasting changes. We set a goal, build a roadmap, and review your progress with data to ensure you are actually getting better.

My Coaching Philosophy: Evidence Over Guesswork
The "Why" I am driven by one thing: Results. whether you are a club golfer fighting a slice or an elite player looking for a competitive edge, "hope" is not a strategy. I believe that to improve, we must first understand exactly what is happening.
The "How" I don't believe in a "one swing fits all" method. We don’t all have the same body types or physical capabilities, so why should we swing the same way?
Using TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) screenings and Trackman data, I identify your unique physical blueprint. This allows us to build a swing that is efficient, powerful, and sustainable for your body.
The Process Improvement requires a plan. I treat your game like a project:
-
Assess: We measure your biomechanics and ball flight.
-
Plan: We set a clear roadmap (often in 12-week blocks).
-
Execute: We use drills, video, and feedback to lock in changes.
Success isn't an accident. It's a process.
