Gary Gilchrist Golf

Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy (GGGA) is a golf coaching and development program founded by professional golfer and instructor Gary Gilchrist. Drawing on his experience competing on South Africa’s Sunshine Tour and coaching at leading golf academies, Gilchrist established the academy to help golfers develop both their game and their potential beyond the course.

GGGA offers training for junior and professional golfers, with individualized plans shaped around each student’s goals, strengths, and areas for improvement. Its holistic approach addresses five connected areas: technical skills, physical preparation, mental performance, course strategy, and character development. Coaching may include swing analysis and practice drills, golf-specific fitness, decision-making on the course, and support in building confidence and resilience.

Gilchrist has coached prominent professionals, including Lydia Ko, Ariya Jutanugarn, Shanshan Feng, Yani Tseng, Paula Creamer, and Morgan Hoffmann. His students’ achievements and his recognition by Golf Digest and Golf Magazine reflect a career spanning competitive golf and player development.
