I go to Matt when my game is off a touch and it’s only a matter of minutes before he has me back in the groove. His ability to identify issues and offer an array of ways to change the problem is second to none. Even if you are keen to further explore your shot arsenal, he has the talent to show, execute and then teach what you are wanting. I’ll never say golf is easy, but Matt certainly makes it a lot more manageable.

I have been training with Matt for 2 years already. I like his flexible approach, we do not make the same exercises, but always look for my mistakes together and work on them, which allows me to constantly improve my swing.

Also, since Matt still plays and participates in tournaments, he has big practice experience and he gives very useful advice about the game.

All these give results, and I see progress in my score card.

I started my golf journey with Matt, and he was exactly the coach I needed as a beginner. On my first round ever, I even made a birdie (pure luck!). With his guidance, I broke 100 in just 3–4 months and broke 90 within 7–8 months. Matt gave me the perfect foundation, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game!

Matt is amazing, I started with him and I know nothing about golf , he is extremely patience and helpful to walk me thru . I’m loving golf now , will recommend Matt to anyone who’s looking for golf coach.

Thailand definitely didn't steal my heart, didn't cause any hot impulses to immediately plan my next visit (as usually happens with other locations).

But Thailand introduced me to golf and my mentor Matt. And I consider it just a gift. I'll note (this is important): I never liked golf. I considered it not dynamic enough, "stretched out" and incomprehensible. How wrong I was.

In general, Matt became my guru, teacher, guide. And of course, I fell madly in love with this game. And I fell in love so much that I was ready to arrive for training at 8:00 in the morning. Believe me, I'm not an early bird. But not in this case. I just flew to Matt's training!

Best golf coach I’ve ever had!!Thank you Matt Richardson!

As someone who’s been taking golf lessons all around the world (from Dubai to Cape Town) I can confidently say that Matt Richardson is the best golf instructor I’ve had the pleasure of learning from so far.

I spent a week training with Matt daily at Laguna Golf and it was honestly the best golfing experience ever. Each session was packed with insight, encouragement and passion for the game. Matt has a rare ability to break things down in a way that’s easy to understand, while still challenging you to push your limits. His coaching helped me improve so much in just one week.. more than I ever expected.

Coming back to Dubai, where I’m currently continuing lessons at the Peter Cowen Academy, I can clearly feel how much better and more confident I’ve become, all thanks to the solid foundation Matt helped me build.

Beyond his expertise, Matt is super humble, genuine and seriously funny. He made every lesson not just valuable but truly enjoyable.Saying goodbye was emotional because of how much I learned from him.. I’m nothing but grateful for this experience. Matt is not just a coach, he is someone who really cares and is deeply passionate about his craft. Thanks to him, I’ve become a better player.

Also a huge thanks to instructor Jeff Craig for recommending Matt. It was such an honor to meet you as well and see you in action, both of you are undoubtedly some of the best people I’ve met at Laguna Golf Phuket.

Can’t wait to come back for more sessions soon!!
