I'll help you actually improve your golf

Who I am

As a player I know the frustration of being stuck. As a coach I see golfers every week getting stuck on the exact same things. That's why I prefer to work without the noise. Not a pile of loose tips, but clear improvement step by step.

I'm Youri van Koppen, golf coach at Golfcenter Seve in Rotterdam. As a PGA Teaching Professional, I help you train smarter, build more confidence on the course, and shoot lower scores.

My work doesn't start with a list of tips. It starts with the question of what's holding you back. First find that pattern, then start building. You're just starting out, or you want to seriously lower your handicap. Either way, it has to be clear and practical.

My approach

It works on the range, then falls apart on the course. I hear that a lot. Usually it comes down to training hard without direction. That's why I work on three things:

• Technique — A solid foundation and clear improvement points that fit your swing, measured with TrackMan.
• Strategy — Better choices on the course, so you score lower.
• Confidence — Calm and a routine that keep you playing when the pressure is on.

Every session has one goal. You get clear feedback and a plan. That's how you make progress.

Where I work

I work at Golfcenter Seve in Rotterdam. An illuminated and heated driving range, TrackMan, a short game area, and a 9-hole par-3 course. Everything you need to work on your whole game, from the first shot to your putt.

You can train there year-round, even when it's grim outside.
