Hi, my name is Ben Guilford. I coach golf at Templeton Golf Course and Ferrymead Golf in Christchurch.
I am a fully qualified NZ PGA Coaching Professional with a decade’s worth of experience. I began my career on the circuit and transitioned to become a coaching professional in 2014. I have coached at Akarana and Pupuke Golf Clubs in Auckland before relocating with my family to Queenstown to be the head teaching professional at The Hills and now relocating to Christchurch.
I love everything about golf and want the best for my clients. I use some of the best technology in golf to inform my work with quantifiable data such as Trackman, BodiTrak, K-vest and more. Many of my clients have found my coaching to be really valuable, and in conducting up to 45 lessons per week I have plenty of experience coaching people of all ages and abilities -from multiple winning tour players, to beginners who have never swung a club. I look forward to bringing my passion and expertise to help you improve your game.
