CANARY ISLANDS AND WGTF

By John Carr

With its year-round sunshine and average daily temperatures of 25°C, the Canary Islands is a perfect place for us to help people become golf coaches! With 23 courses spread over the seven islands, it greets in excess of 16 million visitors and over 150,000 golfers per year. It’s the second-most visited Spanish territory and is unique in that the universal spoken language across the islands is English.

The islands have become a European mecca for golf, with facilities and courses being presented in such a way to ensure the players have a first-class experience and keep coming back. Many of the courses are ranked as some of the best in Europe and some have and do host DP World Tour events. Whilst the playing facilities on the islands are very advanced, the coaching environment is not as mature, and as such provides us with a great opportunity to expand the game and help more and more people become a golf coach in a perfect golfing environment.

Our new Canary Island coach, John Carr, will be delivering our onsite training content for our new coaches. John is currently a WGTF coach from the U.K. and will be relocating to the Canary Islands to help us get more coaches teaching our great game. John has been in and around golf for over 30 years and has been working in his local community (in association with Kent Golf) growing the game with younger golfers across the county. He also organises golf trips with tuition to the Canary Islands.

John’s holistic approach to the modern game includes how to incorporate strength, flexibility, nutrition, mindset and a positive mental approach to the comprehensive WGTF teaching techniques we apply for the ultimate positive experience of golfers.

Our coaching product will be offered to both male and female coaches to ensure we are capturing the opportunities to coach men, women and young golfers across all age ranges and abilities.

We will keep you updated on our progress in the area and the timeline for when the launch dates are determined.
