Helping Golfers Perform Better, Not Just Swing Better
Player-centred Golf coaching in Devon, combining competitive playing experience with a modern approach to skill development to help golfers improve where it matters most, on the golf course.
Hi, I'm Jack
Based in Dawlish, Devon, I'm a PGA Professional golf coach with a passion for both coaching and competing.
Competing has always been a huge part of my golfing journey and remains a passion today. I continue to compete professionally on the PGA circuit, with highlights including multiple PGA tournament victories, competing at Final Qualifying for The Open Championship, and winning the Devon Amateur Stroke Play Championship. Staying involved in tournament golf allows me to keep learning and bring current, real-world playing experience into my coaching.
Alongside my PGA training, I completed both a BSc and an MSc in Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Exeter, where I developed a particular interest in skill acquisition and how golfers develop and retain new skills. This understanding continues to influence the way I coach today.
My coaching experience includes working with golfers of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to elite players, through my work with the University of Exeter, Exeter College, Devon Golf and my own coaching.
Great coaching is about helping players perform better on the golf course, not simply improving their golf swing. Golf is a game of individuals, so coaching should never be one-size-fits-all. My role is not simply to tell golfers what to do, but to work alongside them, guiding the learning process and helping develop skills that transfer from practice into better performance on the course.

Set on the beautiful South Devon coastline, Dawlish Warren Golf Club provides an outstanding environment for coaching and practice.

What players are saying
Real feedback from golfers coached by Jack Pope.
"First session today following last week’s playing assessment where Jack could see what improvements were needed. Had an in-depth putting session where a clear putting strategy was formed for practice and in play. We then looked at approach work, again setting out a clear strategy to take onto the course. I am glad that I have committed to Jack’s winter coaching program and feel confident that improvement will follow."
"Had a great golf lesson, Jack was friendly, patient and very helpful, offering some excellent advice and tips to improve my game. Thank you for a great lesson ! ⛳"
"Today we focused on swing speed. Jack has a very easy manner and way of explaining things that could make a difference. He is able to explain how to make the changes required, and follows the lesson with a summary and practice plan. This is my second lesson, and my next is booked already!"
"Jack was an excellent coach - encouraging, and patient with a complete beginner. I learned a lot both on the simulator and the putting green. He has certainly inspired me to take further lessons."
"Great varied experience and I got to ride in a golf buggy. I guess it was about getting weight on the front foot with an aim of not falling backwards, hope that's it."
"I had a lesson today focusing on putting and bunker play. I found the lesson to be hugely valuable in both areas. Jack took time to assess the current position and suggested some changes with great clarity. I look forward to putting these into action and to my next lesson. I recommend Jack very highly - he was calm, clear and his analysis and direct explanation of what I needed to do by coaching of my stance and swing were very helpful."
"Great on the course lesson. Didn't need to talk technical and just gave a simple setup to swing focusing on swing path. Great bunker lesson aswell. Thanks Jack."
"Great bunker lesson with Jack with clear instructions to help my recovery shots, hopefully knock a few shots off my score when put into practice."
"Jack was giving a lesson to my 16 year old grandson, Jamie. I thought Jack was really good. He put Jamie at ease and rather than just telling him what to do he encouraged Jamie to think about what he was doing and how to change things and improve. Jamie really enjoyed it and asked when can he go again."
"The problem I wanted to fix was a very consistent pull/push to the left with short irons 7 and above. This was very evident with my first 10 strikes all being left of the centre line. With an initial tweet to the take away the next 40/50 were 95% on or right of the line. Jack explained why in the right amount of detail. For the 10 minutes we moved to how ball position influences this effect. With that I've got two dynamics to practice on the range.......baby steps sensibly not b to much to think about but I'll build the set up and practice swing into my game. Distance improved 10/20 yards on my 7 iron. Thanks Jack"
"I've been bringing my 14yr old lad to Jack's classes. (He has SEN 's and ADHT .) for around 4mts . He had only been to a driving range a few times before going to Jack's classes .. Jack's patience and coaching methods have greatly improved his technique, focus and enjoyment of his game .. Throughly recommended"
"A very interesting session. Jack was sensitive to my needs and sensibilities. He helped me to understand that there is no such thing as a 'perfect' golf swing; one that can be used for every shot. He also taught me how to develop a 'draw' - something that I have never managed. He gave me a practice routine. With all the additional technology, it a very satisfying 30 minutes."
"Very helpful, honest opinion, and improving my golf. Thanks jack"
"This was a 10 min mot, short it may be but Jack could see the issues immediately and suggested simple remedies which I will implement, followed by further lessons"
"I had a short check-in session & it was great. A couple of tips that have helped my long iron play."
"Very good, clear guidance"
