We know exactly what it will it take
for you to improve your golf game.
We know why most amateur golfers are not playing to
their potential consistently. In most cases they simply
don’t know how to. We’ve been helping golfers to play
better golf and enjoy their game for more than fifteen
years. In that time, we’ve literally taught thousands of
golfers how to hit better shots and have more a lot more
fun playing this great game. Playing golf better faster is
not as much of a mystery as many think it is; golfers are
not improving because they simply don’t know how to
learn and practice their game so they can improve it.
When you enrol in our golf school we will show you how
to tap into your potential and produce the results that
you strive for each time you play.

After more than fifteen years we’ve worked out
a few things about what the majority of golfers
want. For instance we know that many are very
busy with their lives and they need a flexible
instruction program that zeroes in on the most
pressing problems and solves them as quickly
and painlessly as possible. We also know that
many of the golfers that attend our golf school
programs are confused about their game and
need the clarity about what’s important to focus
on to improve their game. At Gold Coast Golf
School we offer a variety of programs to cater for
your exact needs from one on one instruction to
group instruction, we can build you a program to
satisfy your needs.
Take the first step to
improving your game
by enrolling in one of
our flexible programs

Learn how to practice
to get the most out of
your game
Would you practice more if you knew that it
would significantly improve your game? We
are experts in instructing golfers how to
practice properly. Part of your program at
our golf school is learning how to spend less
time practicing incorrectly and replacing it
with methods that get far more out of your
practice sessions. There are so many people
today with so little spare time, so it just
makes good sense to learn practice
methods that develop your skills faster
leading to more effective results.

We use numerous golf training aids
and techniques to fast track your
golf skill development.
There’s an old saying in golf teaching that
“you can’t talk a lesson.” At our golf school
we strictly follow this wisdom; we don’t
believe you can learn golf effectively by
simply receiving your instruction verbally.
You will develop your golf skills by receiving
your information verbally, visually and
through your kinaesthetic awareness. We
construct all our learning programs taking
this into consideration so you can be sure
that you will really develop your skills using
our different training tools such as high
speed video/computer graphics, and a wide
and varied assortment of training aids and
drills designed to help you to learn particular
aspects of your golf swing techniques easily
and effortlessly.

We have programs for men,
women and junior golfers of all
ages and levels of ability.
One of the misconceptions we come across
often is that our golf school is just for “good
golfers,” nothing could be further from the
truth. Gold Coast Golf School caters for every
golfer and over the years we have worked with
every possible standard of golfer from
absolute beginners to tour level golfers. The
truth is that we are motivated to help all
golfers play better faster, so we get excited
about every student who enrols in our golf
school programs.

What golfers are saying about their Gold Coast Golf School experience?
Dear Lawrie,
It has now been a month since I attended my 3 day Golf School. On the
weekend I have finally managed to get out on the course for the first
time since attending your school, and the benefit that I gained in
fundamentally improving my game is evident.
When I initially hit the course some elements of my "old" swing were
present, but with my focus being put on the simple fundamental
elements that you have given me, this was quickly addressed! Your
system for around the Greens delivered me a level of confidence and
success that I have never had before, and I benefited immediately.
The simplicity of your system makes it one that I am able to self assess
on the course and focus on the 4 things that give me the consistency I
reached on day 3 of the school. Thanks for teaching me a Golf Swing for
Life, and I look forward to our next meeting.
Best Regards, Eddie - Townsville
A Few Testimonials… Hi Lawrie,
Thanks for dedicating your time on specifically, what I wanted from the 2 days with you. I
understand it was only a very small portion of what you have to offer, however I learnt
more about the swing plane, it's effects, and more importantly (to me) illustrating plain
and simply how to achieve the correct path. All this on the first day! which was more than I
learnt trolling the Internet for the past five years.
Thanks again, Russ - Bellingen
Not having any idea of what was ahead of me at golf school it was an unbelievable
experience the potential for massive improvement is evident and so logical when shown
how. The experience was something so far beyond my expectations and I'm looking
forward to putting the things I have learnt into practice. Thank you again Lawrie your
school really is top notch
Regards, Troy - Brisbane
Golf and how to play golf has always interested me. This fascination was confirmed when I
had my first lesson this year at KDE Driving Range, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. After the 5
hours lesson at KDE driving range I continued to practice and I felt like I needed more
lessons. In September this year I went home to Brisbane and I decided to get more lessons.
I went to Gold Coast Golf School. The lessons were more comprehensive and well
structured than what I had in Malaysia. I had a better understanding of what golf is all
about which was very good for me as it helps me play better golf. The lessons are delivered
professionally and clearly. My teacher was professional, patient and flexible. I will always
remember my first 3 holes experience on the golf course. The school has a fantastic,
beautiful green grass course and the weather was just perfect. It was fun and I had a great
time. I am glad that I decided to get lessons at Gold Coast Golf School. I am proud to be a
student and I feel like I belong to the elite class compared to my previous school. I am
serious about my golf and I want to do well. I hope to learn more from GCGS next time I’m
in Brisbane.

What golfers are saying about their Gold Coast Golf School experience in 2010?
“I am 58 playing of a 6 handicap but had developed
some significant swing problems over the last few
years resulting in a poor flight with resulting
excessive spin and loss of distance. I decided to
enroll in the 5 day course with Lawrie while
questioning if 5 days would be too long.
Without doubt 5 days was for me the optimum time
to make the real meaningful changes that I desired.
Lawrie’s tailor-made program following his initial
analysis of my game and goals was superb,
incorporating step by step incremental changes each
day, both to my swing and long game as well as my
short game.
His knowledge of the fundamentals of the golf swing
and his ability to explain the unique changes that I
needed to make in simple terms, while keeping my
focus and interest throughout the 5 days, resulted in
me exceeding the goals that I set for myself for the
week. I recommend the 5 day program.
Throughout my golfing career I have been privileged
to have been coached by a number of very respected
coaches and without doubt Lawrie is the best coach
that I have had. Although I am New Zealand based I
intend to keep in contact with Lawrie, both by email
and with ongoing, regular coaching.”

Hi Lawrie,
I just wanted to express my appreciation to
you for the recent golf school. You are a
great teacher and your insights into the
way golf should be taught are truly
enlightening. We covered all facets of the
game and in particular I have seen
immediate results with improvements in my
wedge play, pitching and chipping. Also
many thanks for the supporting links to
your e-book and video lessons.
Hi Lawrie,
I hope you are well. I just thought I’d quickly
update you with the results of my Coolum
tour over the last 4 days. 16 of us played 3
stableford rounds at Coolum and 1 at Twin
Waters. I was the lowest Hcp off 10 My
results in order at Coolum were 27, 38 & 37.
Twin Waters was 36. I came in 2nd
overall.
My wedge play, pitching and chipping were
much improved and together with better
club selection and course management I
think that was the difference in my game. I
submitted all cards to Golflink and I have
now achieved my goal of reaching single
figures – 9.3
Kind regards
Paul Moyle - Sydney
I had a need to regenerate my interest in golf, and
decided to start by improving my game. I enrolled in the
five day school because I thought it would give me the
best opportunity to totally concentrate and focus on my
game. I was not disappointed.
The 5 days of personal tuition from Lawrie were just
great. It was not just a general approach to golf and
how to play better. It was all focused about my game,
my problems, and ways to improve my game.
All aspects of my game were discussed and explained
down to the psychological approach and attitudes I
needed to adopt to improve my score. The detailed
physical side of the game was outlined so I understood
what I have to do to execute the theory.
The 5 days allowed for concentration on everything
from my grip, stance, and swing, through to the
direction, and distance of each shot. And over the time
it gave me an understanding of the simple ways to
address my specific needs to improve. I would think this
school would be of benefit to all golfers, from beginners
to professionals.
I had a terrific week and look forward to seeing the
results over the ensuing months. I can unreservedly
recommend the five day Gold Coast Golf School under
the leadership and guidance of Lawrie Montague.
