Why handicap permission

What you can do once you have Handicap 54.

Welcome on almost any course

With Handicap 54 you're welcome on virtually any public and club course in the Netherlands. Without course permission you stay on the driving range. With it, you can finally get into the real game.

Play with friends or colleagues

A club day, a company outing, a friend who asks you along for a round. All of that is only possible once you have your own course permission.

Play while traveling

France, Spain, Scotland. Most courses abroad ask for proof of handicap before you can play. With Handicap 54 you're set.

About me

Hi, I'm Youri.

Almost everyone who finishes the 8 sessions gets their course permission. My job is to bring you there calmly, step by step, without burying you in tips.

Three paces

Which pace fits you?

Standard

8 sessions, your pace

One or two sessions per week, done in 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how often you come. This is what most people choose. €450 for the full program, valid for 12 months.

Accelerated

Intensive, 4 weeks

Two sessions per week for four weeks. Handy if you want to play this season or have a golf trip coming up. Same price, higher pace.

Refresher

Restart after a break

Played before but not for years? Then we skip the parts you still have down and pick up what's faded. We tailor it to what you need, and the price too.

Still on the fence? Start with an introduction before you step into the full program.

Four phases

What does the program look like?

01

First swings

Sessions 1 and 2: grip, stance, ball position. Your first real contact with the ball. We build feel, I won't load you up with technique.

02

Control

Sessions 3 and 4: distance and direction per club. Your swing becomes more reliable. With TrackMan you see your progress in black and white, not on feel.

03

The short game

Sessions 5 and 6: chipping, putting, getting out of the bunker. This is the part where your scores really come from. And without it you won't pass the test.

04

On the course

Sessions 7 and 8: rules, etiquette, choices on the course. We get you ready for the Handicap 54 test. By the end you know what to do when you stand alone on the tee for the first time.

From a coaching client
"After getting my Handicap 54 I booked several lessons with Youri, and eventually a lesson package. Together with a good friend we also took shared lessons. The experience is very positive and I have seen a lot of improvement in my game, across all areas, from putting and chipping to better striking with the driver. All lessons are calm, constructive, and in a relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely keep taking lessons with Youri."
