Introduction
Golf is a sport enjoyed by millions worldwide, yet it remains a game that only a few truly master. Though simple in theory—hit a ball around a field and sink it into a hole—golf in practice becomes far more challenging. Mastering the game requires understanding a wide range of factors, including anatomy, psychology, equipment, course management, and the elusive art of Swing Technique.

Testimonials
“I just wanted to express my thanks to all the staff for making the EGTF Diploma Course such a fun and informative week. I learnt a lot about teaching and the golf swing which will be most beneficial for me personally and in my coaching. Your enthusiasm to help those to become better teachers and to pass the Course was fantastic and it has given me a lot of confidence to want to develop my skills further. It is great to be part of an organization that is willing to encourage their members at every opportunity. I was thrilled to get my Diploma and punched the air when I got back to my hotel room, as if I had won a tournament.“

“Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff, for making my week on the Diploma Course one of the most enjoyable weeks I have ever experienced in all the years I have played golf.
I would like to tell everyone who is a true golfing nut like myself, who wants to improve their knowledge of the game, their own standards and give something back to golf, to go and do the EGTF Diploma Course. It has certainly opened up my eyes to another side of golf and renewed my enthusiasm for playing and now teaching.
I have no hesitation in recommending the EGTF training course to any person who would like to get involved in coaching.”
By Corinne Dibnah – Ladies European Tour player- winner of 19 titles including the Ladies British Open – EGTF Professional

“May I first say a massive thanks to the EGTF for their hospitality this week.
My name is Steve Shingleton and I have a handicap of 8 and a passion for golf and a shareholder/Director of a Golf club in Ashford Kent.
I decided after long deliberation to sign up for this course after hearing so much positive information and thought it can only improve my own ideas as long as I attended with an open mind. I have to say I was blown away by the knowledge transferred by the EGTF staff and their professionalism.
Additional to this their work ethic and delivery was first class and I would recommend anyone who chooses to follow a career in Golf Tuition to consider the European Golf Teaching Federation.“
