On-course coaching · 9 holes at Ravenspark Golf Course
On-course playing lessons
A range session teaches you to hit a golf ball. Nine holes with Ronnie teaches you to play golf — club choice, where to aim, when to take your medicine, and how to stop one bad hole turning into a wrecked card.
What nine holes together covers
Club choice off the tee
Driver is not always the answer. Ronnie will show you which tee shots are worth the risk at Ravenspark and which ones quietly cost you two shots.
Aiming at the right target
Most amateurs aim at the flag. Learning to aim at the fat part of the green is one of the single biggest scoring changes there is.
Getting out of trouble
What to do when you are behind a tree, in heavy rough, or short-sided. Usually the answer is duller and far cheaper than what you were about to try.
Managing a round, and yourself
How to reset after a bad hole, when to be patient, and how to finish a round rather than let it drift after the turn.
Why a playing lesson is different
Plenty of golfers strike it well on the range and fall apart on the course. That gap is not technique — it is decisions, nerves and course management, and none of it shows up until you are standing on a real tee with a real score going.
- You get coached on the shot in front of you, not a perfect lie
- Bad decisions get caught as they happen, not described afterwards
- You learn the specific holes most Ayrshire golfers play
- It is the closest thing to playing with a very good friend who explains things
