What do you need help with?

Golfing Partner is a coaching website offering FREE & Premium Golf Lessons in a video format that have been designed to assist you and your game by purposefully focusing on fundamental points and positions that create a stable foundation for any swing motion to perform from! 

Every shot in golf has an 'Address & Posture', which is the starting position created before any swing motion takes place AND every shot has two forms of 'Balance' that must be in place to suit the Shot, the Club and the Lie. These points are 'Static (Still) Balance' within the Address & Posture Position that creates a stable foundation of angles & lines for 'A Balanced Swing Motion' to perform from therefore understanding balance within the shot is a key fundamental to achieve shot success! 

Any loss of Balance will cause manipulation in the Hand & Arm Swing to occur and typically cause Grip Pressure to increase as the Hands try to realign Balance. With this in mind Golfing Partner's coaching philosophy is very similar to building a house "It can't be built from the roof down it's built from the ground up!" SO all instructional points will start with fundamental and essential positions before progressing to any Swing Motion because if it's wrong at the ground (Foundation) I'll guarantee it will be wrong at the Club-Face! (Roof) 

This coaching philosophy has purposefully been instilled in to every area of Golfing Partner for you to benefit from!! 

All instruction can be viewed on a wide range of mobile devices such as Mobile Phones, Tablets, LapTops as well as PC's. So whether you are making the longest swing with a Driver or the shortest swing with a Putter there's something for you to view that will benefit your golf game!

Address & Posture

Every shot has an Address & Posture Position and every shot has two forms of Balance that creates a foundation of Angles & Lines for any Swing Motion to perform from. Checkout this all important lesson series to understand 5 fundamental & basic positions and the importance of applying them 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 maintaining scoring momentum in the round and lower scores. Within this lesson series I'll explain the importance of working through a 3 Step Shot Process of 1. Working the Putt Out to see the Putt before you play the Putt, 2. Create the Address & Posture Position, 3. Commit to the Putting Stroke!

+

Chipping

When Chipping having the ability to maintain scoring momentum is key to lower scores. In this Tutorial you can learn about the importance of Working the Shot Out to make a committed shot choice, then Address the ball correctly to suit the chosen shot that will enable an efficient swing motion to deliver the Club-face back to the ball to control Ball Strike, Flight, Bounce and Distance in the chosen shot.
+

Pitching

When Pitching having the ability to maintain scoring momentum within your round is key to lower scores. In this Tutorial you can learn about the importance of 'Working the Shot Out' to make a committed shot choice, then how to Address the ball correctly to suit the chosen shot that will then enable an efficient swing motion to deliver the Club-face back to the ball to control Ball Strike, Flight, Bounce and Distance Control therefore the key to Pitching is Ball Flight Control !!
+

Chip & Run

A Chip & Run Shot is one of the simplest but under used shots in golf today. Getting the ball on the ground as quickly as possible where ever possible can greatly reduce risk in the shot and widen the margin of error to achieve consistent Chipping results. Within this lesson series you can learn how to incorporate this simple BUT effective Shot into your Game by using it where ever possible to manage 'Risk in the Shot' that will ultimately improve your scoring results!
+

Greenside Bunkers

When playing from a Greenside Bunker it can be a frightening experience that if not checked can damage confidence and commitment to the shot! If basic fundamental points and positions are applied and combine this with a positive mindset it’s not difficult to achieve shot success. In this lesson series you can learn how to play effectively from a Bunker by applying a 3 Step Shot Process.

About Ian Bailey

A Little Bit About Me

My coaching philosophy is very simple!!

Every shot has an Address & Posture Position and every shot has two forms of Balance, namely Static (Still) Balance and Balance in Motion.

Static Balance is within the Address & Posture which is the starting position formed before any swing motion takes place. This all-important positional foundation must be created correctly to suit the Shot, the Club and the Lie for any Balanced Swing Motion to perform from!

If this Basic and Fundamental Position ‘Fails' the Hands instinctively manipulate the Swing Motion and the Club around the Fault!

Also 'Grip Pressure' in the hands typically increases with this tension travelling through the wrists and up the arms that activates a tightening of stronger muscles. This tightening or tension causes a breakdown of a 'Balanced & Sequenced Swing Motion' from the ground!

My coaching will always start by checking and correcting any failing 'Address & Posture Position' or any 'Balance Point' within the Address & Posture before looking at a Swing Motion or any type of Club-face delivery to the ball.

"The House can't be built from the roof down it's built from the ground up therefore if it's wrong at the ground (Foundation) I'll guarantee it'll be wrong at the Club-face!" (Roof)

I've purposefully instilled this coaching approach in to every area of Golfing Partner for you to benefit from!!

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
