Quotes from Students:
“I have been training intensively with Tamie for the past eight months and during that time she’s helped take me from a C grade handicap of 30 to an A grade handicap of 16. Tamie’s coaching style of sequentially teaching and building upon swing components was a brilliant way to establish a solid foundation for my golf game. This enabled me to make small changes each fortnight that could be steadily incorporated into my game, allowing me to continue playing at a competitive level.
The training package Tamie offered varied from driving range skills lessons to on course practice rounds, accuracy sessions on the simulator to short game techniques. This multi-faceted approach meant that improvements were noticeable in numerous areas, which saw my handicap start to reduce. Additionally, Tamie’s psychology training has helped me understand and work through some of my self-doubt barriers which had previously held my game back.
I have developed an even stronger passion for golf since training with Tamie and I now find myself striving to achieve targets that I thought were previously out of my reach. I feel I’ve found an articulate coach with an ability to explain some of golf’s more intricate and complicated parts and will continue training with Tamie for the foreseeable future.”
— DR SIMONE HERBERT
“I was already very aware of Tamie's exceptional ability as a player and her experience at the top level of international golf. However, being able to play and being able to teach and mentor are two different skill sets altogether.
I have been so impressed with Tamie's capacity to interact in an engaging and positive manner with my children. She genuinely wants to know and help them as people as well as golfers.
Tamie draws upon her vast experience with world-class coaches and players to deliver instruction that is targetted, understandable and achievable.
She is a holistic mentor who supports her players with not only technique adjustment, but course strategy assistance and a competitive psychological approach.”
