WORLD-CLASS COACHING in the Midlands
Take your golf game to the next level with expert coaching at Gowrie Farm Golf Academy
ABOUT THE ACADEMY
At the Gowrie Farm Golf Academy, coaching goes beyond technique - it’s about building a complete, lifelong game. Led by Master PGA Professional and DP World Tour Coach Martin Whitcher and 2023 International PGA Professional of the Year Jonathan Menteath, the Academy offers personalised coaching in a countryside setting that reflects the heritage of the sport.
With over 80 years of combined experience coaching at the highest level, Jonathan and Martin deliver world-class instruction in a calm, focused environment where players of all ages and abilities can grow with purpose.
Jonathan’s personal philosophy is anchored by three lessons that continue to shape his work:
- Strive for excellence in every detail
- Big things can grow from humble beginnings.
- Always make it enjoyable for both your team and your guests.
This ethos carries through to the Gowrie Farm Golf Academy, which has already seen strong interest across all age groups. With its proximity to leading schools, the Midlands is ripe for nurturing young golfers. While the immediate focus is refining on-site and school-based coaching, Jonathan envisions potential for wider expansion down the line.
