with Kaye Maxwell

I like to keep it simple with easy check reference points in the swing so that when I am not with you, you can check your own swing.

I work a lot with balance and rhythm, good posture, good grip – so much of the swing is determined by the way the body is set up before the swing starts.

Golf like many sports is based on centrifugal force. All this means is that the power comes from the inner core of the body like winding up like a spring. You keep the base flexed but steady and wind the top like baseball.

From there watch out because the bottom half unwinds the top half and releases the spring effect and there you have it. The better you wind up the more distance you get from your release.

The short game is my specialty. Learning the play with touch and feel being more concerned with the contact of the ball on the club than the result. You can then learn to really feel the shots.

“Maxwell’s” Golf Retreat has been set up over the past 3½ years for learning to play and up-skilling the short game. Consisting of 5 bedrooms, the homestead has accommodation for 6 guests, a putting green, chipping and bunker 6 hole challenge, driving range undercover and outdoor and a 9 hole par 3 course. The holes range in length from 90 – 170m.

It has been my dream to set up “‘Maxwell’s” Golf Retreat and for a coach it is heaven to teach in such a beautiful part of the countryside surrounded in gardens and tranquillity. It is more than golf visiting “Maxwell’s” it is a chance to chill out, our motto “a place to be”.

To find us turn off the Southern Motorway at Ramarama, turn right over the motorway for 1km, turn left into Gt. South Rd and travel 3.4km, turn right into Ingram Rd and travel to the end (2km) you will see the sign.
