Golf can look complicated.
Starting shouldn't be.
There are clubs, rules, courses and all sorts of unfamiliar words. It's easy to assume you need to know what you're doing before you begin.
You don't. We make those first steps clear, enjoyable and manageable — whether you're learning on your own, being remotely coached or meeting Rich in person.
No pressure to be good. Just the chance to discover a game you might love.

From “I've never tried”
to “shall we play?”
One enjoyable step at a time — with a proper route towards becoming a golfer, not just a one-off lesson.

Become a golfer.

Learn with Rich.
I'm Rich Coffin, a PGA golf professional. My approach is simple: help you understand what matters, enjoy learning and take each next step with confidence.
Whether we're working together in person or you're being remotely coached, I'll help you take the next step towards feeling confident on the golf course.
Questions are welcome
“Am I going to be any good at it?”
Maybe. Maybe not straight away. Nobody starts as an expert. You just need somewhere comfortable to start.
Do I need my own golf clubs?
Not for your first in-person steps. Ask Rich about equipment before buying anything.
Can I learn without going to a golf club?
Our planned online course is designed to help you begin learning at your own pace. When you're ready, we'll help you understand how to move towards playing on a course.
What does “remotely coached” mean?
Rich personally reviews your submitted swing videos and helps you understand what to practise next. It is real coaching, just without needing to meet for every session.
Do I have to commit to ongoing coaching?
The proposed core beginner course runs for three months. After that, you can decide whether ongoing support is right for you.
Already played a bit and want to improve?
RC Golf Coaching is designed for golfers looking to improve their game, with personal coaching and ongoing support.
