Get Started
John Dickson has been coaching golf at the highest levels in South Africa for over 30 years. Trained in the US, with a background playing the mini-tours in Florida, John built his teaching philosophy under the mentorship of a doctor-turned-coach who taught him one enduring lesson: adapt to the person, not the method.
He has won South Africa's Teacher of the Year 5x, more than any other coach in the country's history. Recognised by Golf Digest as one of the top 75 coaches in the world outside the United States, John works online with mid to low handicap golfers who are serious about getting better, and at Country Club of Johannesburg Golf Academy.
The only thing he insists on is a cowboy hat.
