Chris McClatchie

Chris McClatchie Golf Academy provides golf coaching for players of all ages and abilities, from beginners to elite golfers. Based in Yarraville, Melbourne, the academy offers both in-person and online lessons led by PGA-qualified professionals Chris McClatchie and Matt Tiplady, who bring more than 25 years of combined coaching experience.

Lessons are personalised to each golfer’s needs and focus on understanding swing patterns, improving ball striking, and building confidence and enjoyment on the course. Coaches use launch monitors, advanced video analysis and 3D software to assess technique and guide improvements. Players can also work on self-assessment, fault correction, goal setting, mental toughness and the principles of ball flight. Lesson support includes notes, videos and practical plans to structure practice between sessions.

The academy welcomes juniors, seniors and golfers at every stage of development. Visitors can book lessons with either coach, review pricing and shop through the website. The site also shares golf tips and practice resources, including a free guide, along with articles and newsletter updates for players looking to keep learning.
