GREGOR MONKS PERFORMANCE GOLF
“I started working with Gregor in February 2016 and within weeks I could already see the changes and improvements in my swing. His theories and drills are so simple yet effective and are exactly what I need to move forward with my golf. Being able to use both the 9 hole course and the par 3 course at Brucefields Golf Centre and all of the facilities at impressive Fairways Indoor Golf Arena in Coatbridge lets us work on my course planning, shot shaping and short game as well as my swing which gives me much more confidence when I’m away at tournaments. Having Gregor as my coach is most definitely the best decision I’ve made for improving my swing and the consistency in my game.”
Gregor Monks works with golfers of all abilities, from complete beginners to individuals pursuing a career in golf and he ensures that every pupil reaches their highest potential. A good relationship with your golf coach is essential and Gregor enjoys getting to know his pupils, evaluating their strengths and weaknesses, before building a coaching plan which is suitable for them. Having received his own coaching and inspiration from some of the country’s best golfers, he has a wealth of experience to share with each and every pupil and this has earned him the reputation of being one of Scotland’s top professional golf coaches.
STUART ROBERTSON GOLF PERFORMANCE COACH
“When I started working with Stuart in November 2019, immediately I knew that he was going to be a great addition to the ‘team’ I have around me. My season kicked off on the Sunshine Tour in South Africa at the end of January. It was only 7 weeks later but you would never have guessed that because from the very first tournament, it was clear that the work we had done was making a strongly positive impact on my game and my attitude, on and off the course.
I played in 8 tournaments, I had 4 x Top 5s, 1 x Top 10, 2 x Top 20s and 1 x Top 25… those include a win at The South African Ladies Masters and added up to finishing 4th in the Order of Merit. Throughout my 9 weeks in South Africa, Stuart and I had sessions via video calls, making sure that I was keeping all of our ideas and plans in order. Previously I had serious problem with negativity and just one bad hole could set me off, kicking myself for silly mistakes and my negativity and frustration would then follow me for the rest of the round, leading to a row of bogeys or higher. Now, I can honestly say that we have taken control of this, quite often I am now under par for my last few holes.”
Stuart Robertson works with golfers at varying stages of their golfing journey to improve their scoring and their enjoyment of playing and practicing golf. Using Golf Mindset, NLP, Hypnotherapy and Strategy he brings proven methods to improve to your individual golfing and also day to day life issues. Stuart helps you achieve the best golfing version of you by helping you “get out of your own way” and getting “in flow”.

GOLF DATA LAB
“Using GolfDataLab definitely helps to increase my understanding of my golf. For example, it is easy to come off the course and say… “oh I putted badly today, that really cost me” but sometimes that statement may not the root of the problem, entering my data into the system can show that in fact I had more putts because my approach shots were not accurate enough or that my short game was not strong enough. Being able to establish this then makes it easier to know which areas of my game that need the most focus when practicing.”
Golf Data Lab has a passion for improvement by measurement. We provide our clients with a unique and comprehensive analysis of their games, helping young golfers to develop, and assisting talented golfers to improve further. We focus on all aspects of your game, producing objective information, establishing trends and highlighting strengths and weaknesses that the naked eye doesn’t see and the human brain simply cannot compute. In many cases, our programme will highlight areas of your game for improvement you simply hadn’t considered before, therefore we give individual golfers a greater understanding of their game and help them to maximise their potential.
