coaching

Andrew truly believes that with the correct guidance, support and quality purposeful practice, he can help everyone he teaches significantly improve their game for the long term. I have been privileged to work and spend time with many golfing greats from all aspects of the game, and from all over the globe. It is through this immersion in the golfing world and my study of learning theory that my own coaching philosophy has emerged. I have a firm belief that there are no quick fixes in golf. I work with my students to identify the root cause of a problem and address it head on. I use simple and very effective drills, which allow you the golfer to feel when your body isn’t functioning properly in the golf swing. Through purposeful quality practice I will help you to rectify any faults and train your body to perform correctly and consistently. By utilising the drills my students very rarely work on static swing positions, meaning that when they play on the course their mind can be free of swing thoughts.

Don't just take my word for it

"Andy Waple is one of the most advanced Gravity Golf instructors anywhere. Not only can you witness gravity at work in his own beautiful swing, Andy can communicate the principles of the method so that you can learn it as well."

David Lee, CEO Gravity Golf

"I would like to thank you for everything you've done for me over the last few months. I can honestly say without a shadow of doubt that your coaching has been the most effective and enjoyable I've ever experienced. I've had enough lessons from different coaches to know which have made a difference to my swing and which coaches are regurgitating the same old advice to everyone they see. As a low (ish) handicapper I found your lessons to be the most natural with regards to swing path and body movement and the most rewarding in terms of results. Your practice routines are innovative and low impact and have given me more variety making hitting those baskets of balls a much more enjoyable experience."

Lyne Hebdon, Hcp 6

"What we changed together was very simple and easy to put into practice. As a result of practicing it for a week or two my chipping is now very good. I now know that if I miss the green, I have a great chance of getting up and down. Here are my 5 gross rounds prior and post our lesson.”

Byron Stephenson, Hcp 3

"The golf school and subsequent support gave me the knowledge, tools and confidence to take 6 shots off my handicap last season, and win most improved golfer at my club!"

David Green, Hcp 16

"I first started gravity golf with Andrew after 4 months of failing to get to grips with the sport at all. I had practised hard but just managed to ingrain many bad habits and was just getting more and more annoyed. Once I started working with Andrew and doing the gravity golf drills I finally began to hit some much better shots. My handicap came down 8 shots and I had a lot of fun, winning trophies and money. He really cares about how I’m doing and I have felt very well looked after. All in all not a bad result for a 54 year old!"

Lin McIntosh

"Loved my new Gravity Golf drills tonight Andrew, really helped my down swing sequence - thanks for keeping the practice fun"

Sarah Glover, Hcp 30

"Andrews technique, knowledge and service was absolutely outstanding! He put together the 'perfect day' for all of us. His knowledge and coaching skills were second to none. Having spent a lot of time hacking around a golf course in the past, I can honestly say the help and advice Andrew gave us on the day has made a huge difference."

Ben Blackmore, b more golf day, Hcp 14

“Thanks for everything Andrew, your hard work and dedication to my game has got me to where I am. Looking at my GDL stats I am in the top 25% for short game of Elite amateurs in the UK and top 5% in putting inside 8 feet, it's all thanks to the drills and games you have devised to help me progress as a player.”

Jean-Michel Hall, Alps Tour Player, Hcp 2

"For the past year Andrew has been my golf coach and mentor. Being a late starter at 56, (now aged 75) I asked Andrew to help me improve my golf, the goal being to get from 15 back to a single figure handicap. Initially we worked on improving my swing, cutting out an "out to in" fade to be replaced with a straight or gentle draw by concentrating the swing on "in to out”. Not only has this been achieved but I understand much more clearly the fundamental movements to produce a regular swing which keeps my driving on the fairways. After several years of “yipping” with the short game, I have seen Mind Game coach, Karl Morris and gone 300 miles south to see Jon Adler author of “Golf Yips” for a day’s tuition. But low scoring has been hampered by a poor short game. Andrew has recently introduced me to a short game that dovetails into all the work we have done on woods and irons. Recent results have included winning the Cumbria Seniors (net) Cup with the best net score of the day and winning the Windermere Club Seniors 4BBB KO cup. My handicap has come down to 13 and I am confident that, with Andrew’s guidance my game is going to get better regardless of age!”

Chris Peters, Hcp 13

"Andrew has proved to be an excellent coach with top-class qualifications and experience. He is hard-working, dedicated, a great communicator and has the ability to instantly connect with the players and earn their respect."
