GB 50 is very much a family run business. Paul Johnson, head coach and 30 years experience and responsible for the day to day running of Golf Begins at 50. Wife Jay, the student. Although married to a golf pro, life has just been too busy to play, so we take Jay through the whole process of learning to play. The kids, Felicity, Ladies European Tour player for over 13 years on tour and a couple of wins, she helps out and gives us an idea of what life on tour is like plus a few tips. Nick, 5 handicapper, graphic designer, so he's responsible for the logo, he'd do more but he says he is too busy! And finally the youngest, Luke, also a 5 handicap golfer, and just graduated from University with a degree in marketing so he's responsible for our social media when not caddying for his sister.

Burn over 1000 calories!

Golf can help you live longer, cut the risk of many chronic diseases and improve your self-esteem, according to a research project. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh reviewed 5000 papers to assess the health and well-being benefits of the game. These include a five-year increase in life expectancy and improved quality of life, as well as physical and mental health benefits. Golf is expected to decrease the risk of more than 40 major chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, colon and breast cancer. Current research shows that golf has positive impacts on cholesterol, body composition, metabolism, and longevity. The project highlights that in a round of golf a player will take up to 17,000 steps, walk up to eight miles and burn up to 1200 calories.

GB50 Coach

Meet the coach of Golf Begins at 50

PGA Head Instructor

Paul Johnson

And just a bit about  your instructor, I am a PGA Golf Professional based at Halesowen Golf Club in England and have been coaching for almost 30 years. Helped many people of all ages and abilities take up the game and hopefully many of them are still playing today. It might take some a bit longer than others but it's possible to coach everyone to a standard that they can play a few holes. After giving so many lessons over the years and running a very successful beginners academy I thought it was about time to go online and help many more.

FAQ

  • Do I need any golf knowledge?

    Not at all, we take you through everything you need to know. We assume that everyone who joins has no prior knowledge. We won't bombard you with information either, it is drip fed over a period of months.

  • What equipment do I need?

    We will cover equipment over the first few weeks as this is a minefield in itself but ideally you would have at least a 7 iron and a putter to begin with.

  • How do I access the course?

    You can access the course from any desktop computer, tablet or smartphone device with an internet connection. Our software is also very clever and remembers your progress so you don't have to remember where you last finished.

  • How does the 30 day money back guarantee work?

    Hopefully you'll love it as we guide you into golf or help you become a better golfer. But if for some reason you decide it's not for you, you can get a full refund of your course within 30 days of your enrolment on 12 month course memberships. You can cancel your membership at any time but if you cancel after 30 days you will not receive a refund. If you are paying monthly you can cancel at anytime, you will not receive a refund but your monthly subscription will stop. Unfortunately once you have cancelled you will loose access to your course, your PGA Professional and the community group.

  • When will I be able to play on a golf course?

    A question we often get asked and a tough one to answer as everyone is different. Some feel ready to have a go on a golf course after just a couple of months but for some it can be 12 months. This really depends on a number of factors including how much opportunity you have to practice.

How do I Practise?

A large percentage of the time, especially at the beginning, you can practise at home. We’ll show you how in each section. A PuttOut practice mat (pictured) are a perfect way to practise your putting although putting on your carpet is fine. Don't forget to ask us about training aids and make use of your membership discounts. But when you are ready we can help you find your nearest golf range and course.

We have been running beginners courses for many years - both individual and in groups and from we're going online in 2022.
