ali orchard

Hello, I’m Ali Orchard. (My juniors call me Coach Ali. But Ali is just fine!) I’ve been surrounded by golf since I was born and honestly believe that golf is a game for everyone. I currently work with all ages and skill levels – including women, men, juniors and elite players aged between 3 to 94.

20+ years as a player and golf coach have taught me a lot about the game of golf. My unique skill is being able to pass on all that knowledge to you in a way that feels easy and fun.

Golf is a game of continual improvement and change. I’m passionate about working with people to increase your skill level over time. I guarantee that after working with me, you will understand why good and bad shots happen, and have clear instructions on how to play the right shots at the right time to improve your game.

My background as an amateur and playing professional, life experience and university studies in Business and Psychology all help me get the most out of you as a player. When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me hanging out with family and friends on the beautiful Gold Coast. And playing golf on course!

So whether you’re just starting out, keen to improve your game or play competitively, my private golf lessonsgroup golf programs and golf drills are all tailored to your unique skills and personality. Together we can maximise your results from practice and playing. So let’s go!

craig chandler

PGA Member for over 30 years, I have coached golfers around the world, including on the Japan Ladies Tour; where I communicate fluently in Japanese. I have also coached players in the United States, New Zealand and throughout Asia. I believe golf is about both improvement and enjoyment, setting clear short and long term goals; then building a structured game plan to achieve them. 

As a TPI Fitness Certified professional, I use advanced technology such as swing data analysis, K-Vest, video analysis, and Capto to understand how each player moves and learns. This personalised approach leads to lasting improvement. 

Whether you’re aspiring to compete on the PGA Tour, aiming to win your club championship or just starting the game, there is a tailored improvement plan designed specifically for you.
