The Coach
Greg McClurkin is an experienced PGA Golf Professional and golf coach based at Chequers Golf Club in Bullsbrook, Western Australia, providing professional golf lessons and coaching for golfers throughout Perth and the northern suburbs.
Greg has been a PGA Professional since 1992 and brings more than 30 years of coaching and playing experience to Full Swing Golf Academy. He works with golfers of all abilities, from complete beginners learning the game for the first time through to experienced and competitive players looking to improve their swing, ball striking, consistency and scoring.
Greg's career has taken him across Australia, New Zealand and Europe, combining tournament golf with an extensive career in coaching. He spent 13 years in the Netherlands, where he established himself as a successful PGA Professional and coach before returning to Perth at the end of 2013.
Today, Greg coaches exclusively through Full Swing Golf Academy, providing private golf lessons, group coaching, beginner programmes, on-course instruction and golf improvement programmes.
Coaching Built Around the Golfer
Greg believes there is no single golf swing that suits every player. His coaching focuses on understanding the individual golfer, identifying the changes that will make the greatest difference and developing a swing that is effective, repeatable and suited to the player's own physical characteristics.
Greg is also a fully qualified L.A.W.s Golf Instructor, using the L.A.W.s principles to help identify the swing characteristics best suited to an individual's body type. Rather than forcing every golfer into the same swing model, this allows coaching to be tailored to the player standing in front of him.
Combined with modern technology including FlightScope launch monitor analysis, Greg can assess ball flight, club delivery and swing performance while keeping the coaching practical and understandable.
Whether you're taking your first golf lesson, struggling with a persistent swing fault, looking for greater consistency or trying to lower your handicap, Greg's goal remains the same: help you understand your golf swing, practise with purpose and play better golf on the course.
