Why Coaching?
We’re passionate about helping you play better golf.
Every golfer enjoys the game more when they’re hitting good shots and playing well. This is our mission for you.
Think back to your last few rounds and try to pinpoint an area that cost you shots…
Maybe, you had too many three-putts as a result of poor distance control? Or did you miss too many fairways to the right meaning you had to chip out sideways? It could be that you play well in practice rounds with your friends but struggle to replicate that in competitions?
Through our experiences in the game and our PGA education, we appreciate that every golfer is different. That’s why we offer a range of lessons and packages to suit everyone.
Lessons will cover:
- Golf Fundamentals
- Swing Basics
- Short Game
- Long Game
- Course Management
Our Staff
Chris Cousins - PGA Head Professional
I started my golfing career at Worsley GC (Manchester) where my father Ceri was PGA Professional. I played my junior golf at Worsley and was selected to represent my county (Lancashire) as a junior. I turned Professional at 18 and embarked my PGA training; I became a fully qualified PGA Professional in 2008 and become one of the youngest Head PGA Professionals in the country, my first post being at Bentham Golf Club (North Yorkshire). In 2012 I made the move to Helsby Golf Club (Cheshire) where I remained Head PGA Professional until September 2020, where I joined the team at Beau Desert Golf Club (Staffordshire). My aim is to develop a Professional Services Team that deliver a first-class golfing experience to all members, guests and visitors to Beau Desert Golf Club. I come from a family of Golf Professionals, my 2 brothers, Alyn (Ulverston GC) and James (Darlington GC) are both Head PGA Professionals.
Anthony Dempsey - PGA Professional
I first started playing golf at age 13 where I attended some junior classes and immediately fell in love with the game, at age 15 I joined Bromborough GC and was given a handicap of 6. At 16 I moved away to Preston for two years to attend Myerscough College and complete my National Diploma in Golf Studies. Once I had completed my Diploma I decided to see how good I could be so alongside work I played and practiced as much as I could, however it became clear that unfortunately I wasn’t going to be good enough to make it as a playing professional, but I still wanted a career in golf, by chance I was approached by Chris Cousins in 2013 with regards to becoming the Assistant Professional at Helsby Golf Club (Cheshire), I accepted and began my PGA Training which I completed in 2017. I remained the Assistant Professional until September 2020 when Chris offered me the opportunity to work at Beau Desert GC. The decision to move was an easy one, the quality of the course and facilities is of a very high standard and the chance to be part of the team tasked with improving the professional services is very exciting to me.
Luke Aston - PGA Assistant Professional
I am an accredited PGA professional with 8 years of coaching experience, helping golfers of all levels achieve their goals. As a player, I represented Staffordshire, competed in national tournaments, and won the CCCA State Championships in California during my college career.As a coach, I take a personalized approach, focusing on tuning your current swing to make it more functional rather than teaching a rigid method from a text book. My aim is to help you play your best golf by working with your natural abilities and physical capabilities. I am also TPI Level 1 qualified, for those who are interested in their golf fitness this enables me to assess and improve players' mobility allowing me to create a swing that works best with their body. I also utilise technology including a Flightscope launch monitor and hack motion wrist sensors to enable me to gather in depth data about your swing. I proudly coach the Staffordshire Under-14s team and work with a range of golfers, from elite players to beginners so matter what level you are at i am confident that i can help you improve your game!Whether you're looking to fine-tune your technique, improve your fitness for golf, or take your game to the next level, I am here to help you reach your full potential.
