Dates: 11 Jan – 18 Jan 2025

The objective of the ‘Golf & Coaching Weeks’ is to provide long-term improvement to your golf game, whilst providing you with the opportunity to play some most enjoyable and fascinating golf courses. You will learn the keys that will ensure continuing improvement to all parts of your game, as well as learn how to take your game to the course and how to develop your course management skills in order to play your best golf. Please note that the ‘Golf & Coaching Weeks’ are not suitable for novices.

The ‘Golf & Coaching Week’ is based at the superbly appointed Robinson Club in Tavira, in the eastern Algarve, which has both the Quinta da Ria and Quinta da Cima Golf Clubs onsite. The Robinson Club is one of the finest resorts in the area, with excellent accommodation, facilities, service and cuisine. The terms of stay are ‘All Inclusive’, which provides additional value for money. The coaching facilities at the resort are first class, as indeed are the two golf courses. Located only 35 minutes from Faro Airport, the Robinson Club provides a wonderful venue for the ‘Golf & Coaching Weeks’.

Join me for an excellent week of coaching, golf, socialising and hopefully some warm winter sun!

Gloria, Turkey Golf & Coaching

6th – 13th Mar 2025

Experience Golf Coaching Excellence at Gloria Verde Resort, Belek

Book your place on an unforgettable golf journey at the fabulous Gloria Verde Resort in Belek, Turkey. Known as one of the first resorts for golf in the region, Gloria Verde offers an exceptional blend of world-class courses, luxurious accommodations, and superior coaching facilities. This all-inclusive experience promises not only to enhance your game but also to soak you in warm Autumn sunshine and the beauty of Turkey’s golfing paradise.

Meet Your Expert Coach: Sam Head
This year’s tour is co-hosted by the Sam Head, a former European Ladies Tour player with an amazing 15-year career and six reputable titles to her name. Sam has since transitioned into a leading PGA Coach, earning acclaim for her expertise and personalised coaching style. Now an integral part of the ‘David Short Golf’ team, Sam brings her vast experience and passion for the game to every session.

Sam’s Golf Philosophy:
“To improve your game, don’t just focus on the swing. Shots from 40 yards or less, and putting from 6 feet or closer, are just as crucial. Golf demands a complete set of skills, which take time to develop. A structured golf and clinic programme with a trusted coach is key to lasting improvement.”

Sam’s approach emphasises the importance of mastering all aspects of your game, ensuring you leave with skills that stick.

The Gloria Verde Experience
Throughout the week, you’ll get to play the two brilliant courses at Gloria, both immaculately designed and challenging. From playing the fairways to sharpening your short game, the facilities on-site will make it an excellent week.

The Gloria Verde Resort itself offers luxury, featuring all-inclusive terms, superb dining, and a relaxing atmosphere. Located in the heart of Belek, this resort combines convenience with elegance, making it the ideal venue for golfers seeking both improvement and leisure.

Why Choose This Golf Week?

Expert Coaching: Learn from one of the best in the industry, Sam Head, who tailors her sessions to meet your individual needs.

All-Inclusive Luxury: Enjoy premium accommodation, fabulous meals, and fantastic facilities, all designed for your comfort and convenience.

Gloria, Turkey Golf, Coaching & Pilates

27th Mar – 3rd Apr 2025

It is with great anticipation that we are returning to Turkey, and to stay at the Gloria Verde Resort, which is one of the founder resorts for golf in the Belek region of Turkey. And this particular week is quite unique in the sense that it will be hosted by Sam Head and Sam’s sister, Jo Mundy, both ex-Ladies European Tour players. In addition to the golf, Sam is providing a golf coaching programme for the week, whereas Jo is providing a Pilates programme for the week. Clients will have the choice of whether to join Sam on the range or Jo in the Pilates studio each day.

Sam is a former European Ladies Tour player, who spent 15 successful years on the tour, winning six prestigious titles. Since her time on the tour, Sam has become a leading qualified PGA Coach, and has now joined the ‘David Short Golf’ team and is rapidly gaining a DSG following!

Jo also spent 15 years on the tour from 1995 to 2010, winning the 1999 Malaysian Open and the 2002 and 2003 Hassan Trophy du Maroc. After retiring in 2010 to have a family, Jo re-trained as a Pilates Teacher to share her love of Pilates to the golf world. Having used Pilates in her golf from very early in her career, she realised the benefits to keeping mobile, improving core strength, flexibility and mindfulness, and now sharing this expertise with fellow golf enthusiasts.

We therefore have a traditional golf week format, but with the option of coaching with Sam and / or Pilates with Jo.

With regards to the golf, both Gloria courses will be played during the week. With the golf, the coaching, the Pilates, a super hotel, All-inclusive terms and pleasant warm spring sunshine, an excellent week should be in store.
