LA MANGA CLUB, SPAIN. TRAINING WEEK
A week that changes
how you play
Five days coaching, skills testing and on-course strategy with Steve Thomas - Every area of your game assesses and worked on, at one of Europe's best golf resorts
What this is
A training week. Not a holiday with a lesson bolted on.
- You learn the system I use to develop golfers — and how to apply it to your own game.
- Every area is assessed on three things: technique, skill and playing ability.
- Strategy is taught in the classroom and then played on the course, every day.
- You leave knowing what to practise, how to practise it, and why
HOW THE WEEK WORKS
Four parts. One connected system.
Each part of the week feeds the next, so what you learn in the morning is tested, played and planned for by the evening.
01.
Technique
Technical work on every area of the game, guided by what your pre-week assessment shows needs developing.
You will: work on your swing, short game and putting with data and video feedback.
02.
Skills Games
Standardised tests that measure your application of your technique and how well it holds up.
You will: test each area of your game, get a score, and see where you stand.
03.
Playing strategy
How to play and plan a round — from the fundamentals of course management to advanced decision-making.
You will: learn it in a short presentation each day, then apply it live on the course.
04.
Practice
The theory of practice, and how to build a session that matches where you are: technique, skill or playing.
You will: build your own practice session and a plan for evolving it after the week.
YOUR WEEK, START TO FINISH
It starts before you arrive.
01.
Before you arrive
You complete a short pre-week assessment — your scoring, your strengths, where shots are being lost. It tells us which areas of your game to prioritise.
02.
During the week
Two coaching sessions each morning, a strategy session and golf each afternoon. Technique, skills tests, strategy and practice-building — every day.
03.
When you go home
You leave with your assessment results, your priorities, and a practice plan you built yourself — so the improvement carries on after the trip.
WHAT WE COVER
Every area of your game.
Each area is assessed three ways — so you know whether the shot needs a technical change, more skill under pressure, or better decisions on the course.
Tee Shots
Approach
Pitching
Chipping
Bunkers
Putting
Technique
Can you make the movement? Measured with video and data.
Skill
Can you do it to a target, with a score on the line? Measured with Skills Games.
Playing ability
Can you do it on the course, under pressure? Measured in play.
PLAYING STRATEGY
Learn it and prove it on the golf course.
- ● Fundamentals — how to plan a hole, choose a target and manage your misses.
- ● Advanced — the decisions, routines and pressure management that separate scores.
- ● On the course — you play it the same afternoon, with Steve alongside you.
