Why Coaching?

We’re extremely passionate at The Dorset Golf & Country Club about helping you play better golf.

Every golfer enjoys the game more when they’re hitting good shots and playing well. This is our mission for you.

Think back to your last few rounds and try to pinpoint an area that cost you shots…

Maybe, you had too many three-putts as a result of poor distance control? Or did you miss too many fairways to the right meaning you had to chip out sideways? It could be that you play well in practice rounds with your friends but struggle to replicate that in competitions?

Through our experiences in the game and our PGA education, we appreciate that every golfer is different. That’s why we offer a range of lessons and packages to suit everyone.

Lessons will cover:

  • Golf Fundamentals
  • Swing Basics
  • Short Game
  • Long Game
  • Course Management

Scott Porter - Head PGA Professional

After being introduced to the game of Golf by my Dad at the age of 12, I was quickly hooked. From that day on all I wanted to be was Professional Golfer. That dream became reality where in 1992 I turned Professional at Three Rivers Golf & Country Club in Essex. Under the guidance of Graham Packer, I became fully qualified in 1997. In 1999 I left Three Rivers to lead and develop a new teaching at a prestigious hotel, golf and tennis complex in Toronto, Canada.
