What do you need help with?

Hi and welcome to Golfing Partner, where you'll find a wide range of FREE & Premium Golf Lessons to view that have a strong focus on fundamental points and positions creating a foundation for a Golf Swing to perform from. For example every shot has an Address & Posture which is the starting position created before a Swing takes place and every 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 within the Address & Posture for a Balanced Swing Motion to perform from, therefore the Address & Posture must be created correctly to suit the Shot, the Club and the Lie before any Swing Motion is made!

With this in mind take time to checkout the 'OnLine Lesson' tab in the menu bar at the top of this page or simply choose one of the picture tabs, listed below, to open up a series of helpful and informative golf lessons that have been created with this fundamental coaching philosophy to ensure a stable base is in place from the ground up for a balanced swing motion to perform from.

Alternatively take a look at our unique 'Fault Finder' that has been purposefully designed to give qualified explanation to common swing faults that typically cause problematic Ball Flights and Ball Strikes. So whether you are looking at an Online Lesson or the Fault Finder the chosen tutorial can be viewed on a wide range of devices such as Mobile Phones, iPads, Tablets, LapTops, PC's etc... Please Note - To view any Premium Content a 'Sign Up' is required that will automatically remove the padlock shown on your chosen lesson, this will also give you Unlimited Access to ALL other Premium Lessons for the duration of your 'Sign Up' term. (The detail of each package can be found at the base of this page.)

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. Checkout this all important Lesson Series that gives clarity to 5 key fundamental positions within every Address & Posture Position to understand the importance of applying these positions correctly to suit the Shot, the Club and the Lie!

The Golf Swing

A 'Golf Swing' performs from the ground up so I'm going to compare it to building a House. If the Foundation (Address & Posture Position) is poorly set I’ll guarantee it'll be wrong at the Roof (Club-Face). Poor positioning at Address creates manipulation in the Hand & Arm Swing that typically increases Grip Pressure thus causing the players skill to be re-directed to save the shot rather than it being applied to maximise shot performance! If it's wrong at the ground I'll guarantee it'll be wrong at the Club-Face!!
+

Pitching

Having an effective Pitching Game not only creates scoring opportunities it also helps to maintain scoring momentum in the round. Within this Lesson Series I'll explain how to work a Pitch Shot Out by using all the information the Shot is offering. Focus will then turn to Addressing the ball correctly to suit the shot, the Club and the type of Swing Motion to be used. The 3rd Lesson will focus on making a committed Swing Motion to deliver the Club-Face to the Ball to get the Ball to perform to suit the chosen shot.
+

Putting

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

Chipping

Maintaining scoring momentum in the round is a key facet that ultimately leads to lower scores! Within this Series of 3 Lessons I'll firstly explain how to Work the Shot Out by using all the information the Shot is offering to visually see the Shot before it is played. Lesson 2 focusses on creating the Address & Posture Position that creates a foundation of Angles & Lines to suit the chosen shot. Lesson 3 focusses on making a committed Swing Motion to deliver the Club-face efficiently to the Ball to achieve shot success. Checkout the growing number of Chipping Drills & Practice Games in the GP Video library designed to benefit your game!
+

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

Ian's Coaching Philosophy

Every shot has an Address & Posture which is the starting position created before a Swing Motion takes place and every 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 within the Address & Posture for a Balanced Swing Motion to perform from.

As a Golf Coach my focus will always start by checking and correcting any position or balance point within your Address & Posture before looking at any type of Swing Motion or any type of Club-Face delivery to the Ball at Impact. SO understanding and applying the correct Positioning together with the correct 'Static Balance Points' is essential to achieve Shot Success!

A HOUSE CAN NOT BE BUILT FROM THE ROOF DOWN IT'S BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP !!

If the Address & Posture Position (Foundation) is incorrectly set to suit the chosen shot I'll guarantee manipulation will occur in the Hand & Arm Swing that effects the Club-Face (Roof) when returning back to the ball at impact. This is caused by the Hands instinctively manipulating the Swing Motion around the problematic area to then deliver the Club-Face to the Ball at Impact!

As well as manipulation in the Golf Swing 'Grip Pressure' typically increases thus causing tension in the Hands to travel through the wrists and up the arms that activates a tightening of stronger muscles resulting in a breakdown of an effective and sequenced Swing Motion!

Therefore the Address & Posture Position must be created correctly to suit the Shot, the Club and the Lie before ANY Swing Motion is made!!

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

Iron Out Your Faults

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
    England Boys U16's Regional Training Squad

    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
