Address & Posture

Every shot has an Address & Posture Position and every shot has two forms of Balance, namely Static Balance that creates a foundation of Angles & Lines for a Balanced Swing Motion to perform from. Therefore the Address & Posture is the most important position in any golf shot especially when considering its a Static (Still) and Controllable Position! Checkout this all important Lesson Series that gives clarity to 5 key fundamental positions within every Shot to understand the importance of applying these positions correctly to suit the Shot, the Club and the Lie!

Putting

The Putting Stroke is an integral part of any golfers game as it has the most impact on Scoring that ultimately improves performance. Within this 3 Lesson Series I'll explain the importance of working the Putt Out by firstly looking from the Hole back to the Ball to understand how the Ball needs to come to rest. Lesson 2 will focus on creating the Address & Posture Position that creates a foundation of Angles & Lines for the Putting Stroke to perform from. Lesson 3 will focus on committing fully to making a Stroke that gets the Ball to roll efficiently along the Putting Line.

Chip & Run

Sometimes getting the ball on the ground quickly can greatly reduce risk in the shot that ultimately widens the margin of error to achieve consistent Shot Success. With this in mind a 'Chip & Run Shot' is one of the simplest but under used shots in golf today. Within this lesson series I'll explain how to incorporate this simple BUT effective Shot into your Game by using it where ever possible to reduce 'Risk in the Shot' that will ultimately improve your scoring results!

Greenside Bunkers

Playing from a Greenside Bunker can sometimes be a troubling experience that if not checked can possibly damage confidence and flow into other areas of your golf game. Within this Lesson Series the main focus will be on basic and fundamental points & positions that I'll endeavour to combine with a positive 'CAN DO' mindset to achieve shot success. If you walk into a Bunker believing you 'CAN DO' the chances are you 'WILL DO !!' Checkout the growing number of Bunker Drills & Games in the GP Video library designed to benefit your game!

About Ian Bailey

A Little Bit About Ian

My coaching philosophy is very simple!!

Every shot has an Address & Posture, which is the starting position created before any Swing Motion takes place and each shot has two forms of Balance, namely Static (Still) Balance and Balance in Motion (Swing Motion).

Static Balance creates a vertical foundation of angles & lines for a Balance Swing Motion to perform from. Therefore the all-important Address & Posture Position must be created correctly to suit the Shot, the Club and the Lie!

If this Positioning together with relevant Static Balance Points has been incorrectly set to suit the chosen shot the Hands will instinctively manipulate Swing Motion around the failing point to try and re-align balance.

Typically 'Grip Pressure' increases thus causing tension in the Hands to travel through the wrists and up the arms that activates a tightening of stronger muscles causing a breakdown of an efficient and sequenced Swing Motion!

Understanding and applying the correct Address & Posture Position together with the correct 'Static Balance Points' to suit the chosen Shot is essential to achieve Shot Success!

If I compare my coaching philosophy to building a House it can't be built from the roof down it's built from the ground up. Therefore if the Address & Posture Position (Foundation) is incorrectly set to suit the chosen shot I'll guarantee manipulation in the Hand & Arm Swing and the Club-face (Roof) when returning the Club to the ball at impact!

As a coach my focus will always start by checking and correcting any relevant position or balance point within the Address & Posture before looking at any type of Swing Motion or any type of Club-face delivery to the ball at Impact.

I've purposefully instilled my coaching philosophy into every area of Golfing Partner for you to benefit from - Please Enjoy

Some of my happy clients

  • Ian inspired me to play golf when I was 12 years old
    and he is still inspiring me now 12 years later and I'm now a 1 handicap golfer.

    Thanks Ian - Jonny Golding, Amateur Golfer
  • Been working with Ian ever since I started playing 5 years ago. Together we’ve got my handicap down from 36 - 5.

    I look forward to working with him for the rest of my golfing journey and definitely recommend to golfers of all abilities.

    Thanks for everything so far coach. - George Halfpenny, Amateur Golfer
  • I first went to Ian on a recommendation and from the beginning I found him to be articulate and very understanding. He gradually sorted out my swing and I suppose my golfing brain.

    Every so often I go and seek advice and that proverbial arm around my shoulder, and within a few shots I am back thinking I can play golf.

    I would thoroughly recommend Ian, and suggest you try his new golfing website. - Steve Garfield, Amateur Golfer
  • Ian is the reason I won the Club Championship and got down to Scratch. I spent to many years researching and applying Youtube videos which gave no success and made my game stagnate consequently golf become far less enjoyable.

    His unique teaching style cleared my mind on the course helping me play the game properly and with freedom. Ian removes the shackles from your game whereas sadly many pros make them tighter. Highly recommended for all golfers and of all abilities. Thanks Ian.

    - Tom Sherwin, Amateur Golfer
  • Ian’s approach is to work on the golf swing from the ground up by applying fundamental positions to create a foundation to swing from.

    I was a mid 20s handicapper who might have the odd fluky round but struggled for consistency most of the time. Through following Ian’s coaching philosophy I've now reduced my handicap to 18 and have a good understanding of my golf swing but more importantly what a good golf swing feels like.

    

I would recommend Ian to anybody, he’s a top coach! - Martin Cobb, Amateur Golfer
  • Ian has been coaching our twelve year old son for 18 months. Ian’s methods and principles are simple and easy to understand and practice with very little technical instruction.

    Our son has responded to this approach in a hugely positive way and enjoys his sessions with Ian immensely. This has led to a massive improvement in his golf which last season produced a handicap reduction of almost ten shots to 23 and the competition success that goes with it. - Mark & Leona Harris, Amateur Golfer
  • Ian has been working with Frazer for the last 3 years since Frazer was 10 years old. Frazer has improved his swing , course management, balance and alignment and golfing brain , with advice and introducing routines and drills that when practiced regularly and properly the results speak for themselves, Frazer’s recent achievements :

    Under 14’s & Under 16’s Leicestershire champion
    2018 Midlands Golf Union Champion of Champions winner
    2018 Under 14’s County captain
    Handicap reduced from 22 to 5
    Representing U14, U16 & U81’s at County level

    Ian’s approach is to work on golf basics in an easy and straightforward way. Ian has a natural ability and passion for golf coaching which offers support and guidance to help deliver goals and self-belief which is inspiring.

    Andy & Nora Jones - Frazer Jones, Amateur Golfer
  • Ian, thank you for all your help so far. My golf has vastly improved. The last two round being 71(+1) and 67(-3) today. The putting lesson has made the real difference. Again thank you and see you soon. Tom - Tom Flavell, Amateur Golfer
  • I have known Ian for a number of years now, not only is he a great friend but he is a brilliant instructor and aspires to help you to achieve the best you can possibly be. I love his outlook on golf and how he looks at the technicalities as opposed to digital animated graphics when teaching. He was extremely patient and understanding with me especially as I am on the Autism spectrum so sometimes misinterpret information.

    I have no hesitation in recommending Ian and his services a well deserved 5 star rating! - Dan Foster, Amateur Golfer
