Sid Hunt - Golf Coach & Performance Specialist
Sid is a dedicated and highly knowledgeable golf coach with a First Class Degree in Golf Coaching and Performance. During his time at university, he gained invaluable experience working alongside some of the golf industry's leading experts, shaping his evidence-based and player-focused approach to coaching.
While studying, Sid worked with Lancashire Golf, supporting the county's coaching team and spending time observing the Lancashire Performance Squads. This hands-on experience gave him a strong understanding of player development and performance coaching at a high level.
Sid currently coaches several county players, including a few club champions, but his coaching isn't limited to elite performers. He works with golfers of all skill levels - from complete beginners to experienced elite level golfers offering tailored support to help each player reach their goals.
Sid's coaching philosophy is centred around the individual in front of him. He doesn't believe in teaching one ideal swing to everyone. Instead, he considers each players physical capabilities, limitations and any previous injuries that may influence how they move. His focus is always on improving a player's impact position, not just refining how a swing looks.
He also takes a strategic approach to game improvement, identifying the areas with the greatest potential for progress, whether technical, tactical, physical, or psychological. If Sid feels a player would benefit from working with a specialist such as a physio, strength and conditioning coach or sports psychologist, then he won't hesitate to recommend seeing someone qualified in that area, it's all about doing what is best for the golfer.
A committed learner, Sid continued to study and learn from the world's best golf coaches and instructors, ensuring his coaching remains modern and effective.
