The Short Game Guy · Lower Hutt, New Zealand
I am Dean Kingsbeer, and I coach one thing properly. Not your full swing. The scoring shots: putting, chipping, pitching and bunkers. Sixteen years on the lesson tee, 1,000 golfers in more than ten countries, and one job every time, which is to get you shooting lower scores.
Three ways to work with me
On the lesson tee in Lower Hutt, in your own time from anywhere, or coached by me every week.
Three hours over six weeks. Assess, rebuild, then test it on the course.
My complete short game course. Everything I teach on the lesson tee, in one place.
Me in your pocket. Send a swing, a putt or a bad round and get a proper answer back.

In person
Pick a time, pay, done. No app to download and no account to create before you can book. Most golfers arrive having watched a hundred videos and practised none of them in order. We fix the one thing costing you the most shots first.
About Dean
I turned professional in 2009 and I have spent most of it in Wellington, coaching everyone from first timers to single figure players, and juniors who are only here because a parent dropped them off.
Along the way I worked out what I am actually good at. Not rebuilding golf swings from scratch. The scoring shots. The chip nobody wants over the bunker, the putt from six feet that decides the match, the wedge from an awkward number.
That is why I coach the short game, and why golfers in more than ten countries now work with me online as well as in person.
You do not need a better swing. You need to stop dropping three shots a round from inside 100 metres.

What golfers say
Fantastic coach. Dean gives clear, professional instructions that even my 12 year old daughter, a complete beginner, can easily understand.
Very quick response, valuable and detailed feedback.
Great skills, knowledge and teaching techniques.
Before you book
Yes, and beginners improve the fastest here. The short game is where a new golfer saves the most shots, and none of it needs speed or strength.
Inside 100 is my course. You learn it in your own time. DK Direct is me looking at your game every week and telling you what to do next. Members get the course as well.
Yes. Most of the golfers I work with now are not. You film your shots on a phone, send them over, and I send back a breakdown with the drills to fix it.
A lot of them. I was named a Top 50 junior coach by Operation 36, and the Junior Reset is built for ages 8 to 16.
One hour on the lesson tee, or a course you can start tonight. Either way you stop guessing.
