How much do the top golf coaches charge?
Golf is the most expensive game of the world and it is the highly paid as well. Golf is not an ordinary man’s game. One has to be extremely rich to play this sport during these times of recession.
Getting a membership at one of the clubs, buying the kit and all is all but easy. The most difficult thing is to find a world class golf coach who will take your game to the next level.
There are probably hundreds of coaches all around but to find a perfect one, that too, who can fit in your range is extremely difficult.
Coaches are recommended for those players only who want to make golf their bread and butter because an ordinary man cannot afford even an average coach.
In America, an average coach will probably take around $30,000 for a very short period of time. In this $30,000, he will not give you private lessons. However, there will be a whole group which he will be guiding.
For an hourly private lesson, the fee depends on the quality and location of the coach. A good coach will probably take more than $100 per hour. This is too much, considering the fact you are only a beginner.
David Leadbetter was the person who basically invented the job of Modern coaching. He has worked with many great players, including the likes of Ernie Els.
Working with a professional player is a tricky job because they already know the game very well. So one keeps thinking what they wants to learn from the coaches.
Professional coaches charge too large an amount and until and unless you are not earning as close to some of the top golfers in the world, you will not be able afford a professional coach.
Dave Pelz has worked with the likes of Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh and Colin Montgomerie. He charges $30,000 per day. Surely one cannot afford this much until and unless, they are earning close to Tiger Woods’ income.
Hank Haney has worked with Tiger Woods and he charges $10,000 per day. All the other compatible coaches around the globe charge around the same amount of fee.
PGA should take this into notice. Otherwise good quality golfers will not emerge because they will not be having the faculties of such high profile coaches simply because they charge too much.
