How often should I come?

Honest answer: it depends on your goal. If you want to really overhaul your swing, six to eight sessions in twelve weeks works best. If it's about one topic, two or three is sometimes enough. After the intro we'll talk through what's realistic.

How does this work for low handicaps (under 18)?

TrackMan stays the foundation, but for low handicaps the focus shifts. Less pure swing technique, more choices on the course, your routine and shots under pressure. We then talk more about strategy than about your swing itself.

What is TrackMan and why does it work?

TrackMan is a radar that measures your ball and your club, twenty data points per shot. The difference with coaching on feel: we see what's really happening, not what you feel. That often saves months of searching.

How long is a session?

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

What if I'm not playing better after a few lessons?

Then I'll tell you that too. Sometimes you're already so close to your optimum that the gains are small, sometimes you simply need more time than a session or two. An honest evaluation is part of the deal.

TrackMan 4

Where it usually breaks down

Four things you probably recognise.

Nobody has all four. Usually one or two. That's what we'll work on.

A slice that won't go away

Three months of YouTube, five grip changes, and it still goes right. Often it's not your grip, it's your swing path. TrackMan shows you in black and white.

Distance you've lost

Two years ago your driver went 220m, now it's 195m. The swing feels the same. That's almost never strength, almost always your contact with the ball. On TrackMan you see exactly where it's leaking away.

A short game that leaks shots

From 100m in it's suddenly a different game. One time too fat, the next too thin, and you no longer know what you were even trying to hit. Once you know again when to pitch, chip or go full, that alone saves you three shots a round.

Putting that goes everywhere

One round 32 putts, the next 38. No idea why. With data on speed, aim and your stroke we get a grip on it, and that often drops strokes straight away.

How I work

Measure, work, measure again.

No loose tips, no technique on top of technique. Three steps, in every session or in a short path.

TrackMan diagnosis

Fifty minutes, all the data visible. We honestly find where it really breaks down, not where it seems to. Then you know exactly what you're working on.

Targeted drills

One topic per session. Not three at once. Drills that fit your swing, not a standard list everyone gets.

Data check

After a few sessions we measure again. Not on feel, on numbers. That way you see whether it's working, and what the next step is.

What it costs

No fixed path, no required package.

Beginners follow a fixed 8-session path. For improvers it depends on what you need. Most start with a TrackMan intro and then book single private sessions or a pack of 5 or 10. All pricing is on one page.

"Youri always works with a lot of enthusiasm and genuinely wants to make you better. 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."

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."
