"A golf school gives me the opportunity to work with a small group of players over an extended period — and that changes what's possible. In a single day, or across multiple days, we can cover ground that takes months in weekly lessons."

Gary Cooke — Head Coach

The Playing Academy Golf Schools are intensive, structured coaching days — half day, full day or multi-day — for small groups of up to 6 players. Every school is topic-specific and purposefully designed. The theme, format and audience are announced in advance so you can choose the school that's right for your game.

Golf schools are a particularly effective option for players whose time or availability makes regular weekly lessons difficult — and for those who simply want more concentrated time with Gary. One focused day can achieve what takes months in weekly sessions.
