Teaching Experience

The Costa Golf Clinic has a team of PGA Professional Golf Instructors headed by:

Mitchell Harrison
Head PGA Professional
Costa Golf Clinic

Mitch is a PGA (Professional Golfer's Association), Class "A" Member and has been a teaching professional for the last 15 years, working with many of the world's finest players and coaches. Mitch has coached under the watchful eye of Scott Cranfield, one of the top 5 coaches in the world at the Cranfield Golf Academy achieving the post of Senior Instructor.

Having dedicated his professional golf career to the study of the technical and mental sides of the game, it was clear to Mitch that teaching golf is best applied and understood in a relaxed and warm environment away from the stresses of everyday life. This is why he switched his golfing operation to Southern Spain and set up a personal, customer friendly golf tuition service, namely Costa Golf Clinic.

Since then, his students have been coming from all over the world to learn and to improve their golfing skills on world class driving ranges and golf courses with a backdrop of golden beaches and stunning mountains and more importantly under a warm blue sky where the hassle of being coached in your usual working environment simply fades away.

Teaching Philosophy

At Costa Golf Clinic our philosophy is:

"Whatever level or age you are, improvement is achievable"

Having played golf for many years as an amateur and then a professional, Mitch understands that if coaching is taken to its lowest common denominator then anybody can change the way in which they perform. Everyone who plays the game is striving for to basic elements – “Improvement” and “Consistency” These are best achieved when your brain is clear of complicated swing thoughts.

The golf swing takes around 1.5 seconds from start to finish, therefore the brain needs clear, accurate instructions to control the required muscles that perform the movements in such a short space of time. This is why the average player suffers from inconsistencies during a round of golf.

At Costa Golf Clinic our teaching methods are clear-cut and precise, thus concentrating on the strengths and weaknesses of your swing. Hence improvement is simple and effective.

The Golf Clinics

The clinics developed are aimed at all standards of golfers from anywhere in the world. Although in a group every client is assessed on his or her own unique game, everyone can work within the contents of the Clinic at their own pace. The language of effective golf improvement is the same worldwide because it is mainly visual.

Beginners

Having completed a 5 Day Clinic, clients will have enough solid technique and understanding to allow them to compete and feel confident about all areas of the game including Rules and Etiquette. This will allow them to become self-assured regarding playing the game or help them to pass their Green Card Exam if resident outside the UK and Ireland .

Established Players

Improved scoring is the biggest guarantee the Costa Golf Clinic can give anybody who already is established at a certain level. Quickly identifying the general areas of the game needed to improve scores is imperative, whether that is technique or the often ignored mental side of the game. At Costa Golf Clinic clients will be made aware of "Winning Formulas" in terms of Practice Regimes and Golf Course Management, hence allowing their scores and subsequent handicaps to tumble. We have a special 3 Day Golf Clinic which is especially tailored to intermediate and advanced players and is popular with returning Costa Golf Clinic clients.
