Where are the lessons?

At Golfcenter Seve, Kleiweg 480 in Rotterdam Hillegersberg. Indoor range, TrackMan bays and short-game area on site.

What if I've never held a club?

Then you start with the beginner path. Eight sessions, from your first swing to Handicap 54, with a clear end goal.

And if I already have a handicap?

Then we first find where it's really stuck, usually with a TrackMan analysis. After that you pick a package that fits the goal.

How long is a session?

Fifty minutes. Long enough to learn something new and grind it in, short enough to stay sharp.

Can I cancel if something comes up?

Yes, you can reschedule freely up to 24 hours beforehand. After that the session goes through, even if you don't show.

Experiences

Lower handicap. More fun on the course.

"A year ago I was HCP 27.0 — now 21.3. Analysis, rounds together on-course and online, and coaching: each one pushes my limit further. Five pars over 9 holes isn't unusual anymore. Good to work with too."

Pim S.

HCP 21.3

"I've been taking lessons with Youri for about 4 years now and I'm still extremely happy with them. Youri is very enthusiastic and creative in his coaching, which keeps me motivated to keep improving :)"

Felipe R.

HCP 9.7

"After earning my HCP 54 I took several lessons with Youri and eventually bought a package. Calm, constructive and relaxed, and I've seen real improvement across my game — from putting and chipping to the driver."

Richard F.

HCP 43.2

"Despite my doubts beforehand about my own athletic ability, my swing has improved significantly in a very short time. Youri is great with beginners — his lessons have a light but goal-oriented tone. He also makes sure everyone gets enough personal attention in group lessons, with genuine interest in the person behind the club. For authenticity, Rotterdam no-nonsense, and real depth of knowledge: Youri is the one to go to."

Tyra M.

HCP 50

"Youri always works with a lot of enthusiasm and genuinely wants to make you better. He thinks carefully about what you need and which clubs suit you. Thanks to his own playing experience you learn a lot — not just technique, but tactics too. The result: big leaps forward, all in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere."

Anouk T.

HCP 32.7

"Thanks to Youri I've built a stable foundation in my swing that took away a lot of uncertainty. Friendly guy who really knows the game!"

Joop B.

HCP 8

"I've played golf for over 20 years, and a handful of lessons noticeably lifted my short game — bunker shots especially. His mental tips help me swing calmer too. A solid pro who doesn't bury you in a hundred and one tips."

Ron B.

HCP 16.9

"Youri coached me multiple times to identify the root cause of a flaw in my swing and to fine-tune the rest of my game. He taught me that you can approach ball lies in different ways, as long as you have the techniques in your golf arsenal. And of course I've expanded mine through his lessons!"

Tjard L.

HCP 16.8

"When I have a lesson with Youri he always asks the right questions and explains things well. He checks whether I understand, and if I don't he goes over it again. That's why I picked him as my coach. When we have a new lesson we sometimes revisit things from the previous one, which really helps."

Caesar S.

HCP 7.6

"Coach Youri has made it really fun to learn golf. He is very active during the lesson, but in a way that doesn't overwhelm you. Every drill has a purpose and his advice can be applied straight away. I really enjoy how much energy and enthusiasm he brings, and after 2 months of lessons I already see a huge difference in my swing. Excited to keep it going."

Radu P.

HCP 25

"Focused, effective coaching with room for the occasional birdwatching detour 🐦. Youri comes highly recommended — my swing and game are steadily improving, and above all, the lessons are genuinely enjoyable."

Anna W.

HCP 50

"Youri is a fun golf trainer and coach. He adapts to what the group needs and spots where help is required (essential 🤪). The focus is on improving skills, but there's definitely room for enjoyment too."

Brechtje B.

HCP 51.8
