I will personally guide you step-by-step over time, helping you build the skills, mindset, and strategy required to reach the top.

There are no shortcuts, no quick fixes, and no five-minute hacks that can unlock long-term success.

You don’t need another YouTube video or gimmick — you need real, proven guidance, and that’s what I offer. With my experience, we will build your path to excellence, brick by brick, ensuring sustainable improvement that lasts.

With over three decades of experience coaching elite golfers worldwide, my online coaching is designed to replicate the impact of working with me in person, standing right by your side on the range. When I coach in person, I rarely, if ever, physically adjust your position. 90% of the time, I show and demonstrate exactly what you need to do, guiding you visually — and that’s precisely what I will do through live sessions on your phone. These live sessions are as close as you can get to having me right next to you, delivering the same detailed feedback and instruction.

The beauty of this online approach is that you’re not tied to a rigid schedule. You can practice on your own time and revisit the videos and demonstrations as often as needed to fully absorb the instruction. In person, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by information, but with this method, you have the freedom to learn at your own pace, refining your skills without pressure.

The Only Way To Master Your Game

A Holistic Approach to Golf Improvement

To truly become a better golfer, you need to focus on more than just one aspect of the game. It’s not just about having the perfect swing, nor is it solely about being in great physical shape or having the right mental attitude. Golf is a complex sport that requires a harmonious balance between the physical, the technical, and the mental. My philosophy is that all three of these elements must work together as one system. You can’t ignore any of them if you want to reach your full potential.

The Physical
Everyone’s body is different, and your physical condition plays a big role in how you swing the golf club. Whether you’re limited by injury, flexibility, or general fitness, it doesn’t mean you can’t develop a good swing. Your physical state determines what your body can do, but it doesn’t stop you from achieving consistency. The key is understanding your body’s limitations and working within them to find the most efficient way to swing.

Consistency in your alignment, posture, and address position is achievable for everyone, regardless of your physical condition. A good golfer is someone who can consistently hit the ball within their capability. Whether you’re a junior, a senior, or a pro, the goal is the same: consistency. A professional might hit the ball farther, but the principle is the same for every golfer – consistent, repeatable results.

The Technical
Your technical ability – the mechanics of your swing – is directly influenced by your physical condition. However, you can always improve or modify your technique to optimize how you strike the ball. The key elements you want to control are the club path, strike, and clubface angle at impact. If you can achieve consistency in these three areas, you’ll see better results in your ball flight and distance, regardless of your physical state.

It’s not just about trying to swing like the pros; it’s about making the most of your own capabilities. You can always refine your technique to be more efficient, even with physical limitations. A technically sound swing that works with your body is essential to hitting the ball consistently straight and far.

The Mental
The mental side of golf is the glue that holds everything together. No matter how good your physical and technical abilities are, if your mind isn’t in sync, you’ll struggle to perform at your best. The mental side of the game is what allows you to plan, strategize, and build confidence around your unique level of ability. When your mind is in the right place, it helps you manage the challenges of the course – water hazards, tricky lies, or windy conditions – and remain focused on executing the best possible shot.

Your mental approach must be realistic about what you can achieve, but it should also push you to improve. When you know what your body and technique can do, your mind becomes confident. And when you feel confident, your performance improves. The mental aspect is what allows you to stay patient and build the repetition needed to develop new skills and new levels of confidence.

The Holistic System
Improving at golf isn’t about focusing on just one area. Sure, you can make small improvements by tweaking your swing or getting fitter, but real, lasting improvement comes from addressing the physical, the technical, and the mental together. When you work on all three aspects in harmony, you can truly unlock your potential.

It’s a holistic system – your body, technique, and mind must work together as one. That’s how you achieve consistent improvement, and that’s how I coach my students. Whether you’re looking to gain more distance, improve accuracy, or lower your handicap, my coaching takes a complete, balanced approach.

I’ve been there – as a junior, an amateur, a professional, and now a coach. I know how hard it can be to improve, and I know what it takes to get there. Together, we’ll work on all aspects of your game, ensuring that every area supports the others. With a holistic approach, we’ll get you playing the best golf of your life.

Hendrik Bührmann - Elite Technique Coach

The Importance of Technique in Golf

Technique is critical, especially from a young age. It’s much easier to build sound fundamentals early than to correct bad habits once you’ve already developed a high level of skill. A solid technique leads to consistency and helps you perform at your best, particularly as a competitive golfer. Think of it this way: first, you build the best car you can, and then you learn to drive it—not the other way around. In the same way, you must first own your golf swing before you can perform at your peak with it.

As the experts say, "Work on your technique while you're young and teachable."

My Philosophy: The Technique of the Golf Swing

The most important aspect of the golf swing is being “on plane.” But what does “on plane” mean? It’s the natural path the club follows when it swings smoothly through space without wobbling. Each golfer has their own unique plane, tailored to their body’s specific mechanics and structure. The laws of physics determine the natural orbit or plane that each golfer’s swing follows.

Being on Plane

Being on plane is critical, because it allows you to swing with varying levels of power—whether you’re hitting softer or harder—while maintaining consistency. If you’re on plane, your swing remains stable and doesn’t wobble or fall off the correct path, no matter how fast or slow the swing is.

There are fundamental laws that govern the golf swing, involving forces and joint movements. Understanding and mastering these mechanics is key to unlocking your full potential as a golfer. I have dedicated years to perfecting the understanding of these principles and their application to every golfer, no matter their level.

Hendrik Buhrmann - Elite Golf Mental Coach

The Mental Side of Golf: A Holistic Approach

At Bührmann Golf, we understand that peak performance in golf requires more than just physical skill; it requires a deep connection between the mind and body. Think of the mind and body as the hardware and software of a computer—neither can function properly without the other. This is why we take a holistic approach that synchronizes both.

How It Works: Mind and Body in Sync

The body experiences the external world through the golf swing, generating speed and control. This includes mastering elements like strike path and clubface angle, which directly impact the shape and outcome of the golf ball. These technical skills are learned through practice, but to truly perform at your best, the mind must also create patterns of feeling and emotion tied to these physical movements.

The more you practice, the more your mind remembers these feelings and emotions, eventually making them subconsciously available. When your body and mind work in harmony, you can execute shots confidently and consistently, based on past experiences. This is where true performance lives—when the mind and body are in perfect sync, delivering the shot you see in your mind’s eye.

My Experience

I’ve spent years coaching top players, juniors, and beginners alike, helping them harness this unique relationship between mind and body. Whether it’s helping professionals make millions or guiding young players to discover their full potential, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful this holistic approach can be.

It’s not enough to focus on just one aspect; to perform at the highest level, both the mental and physical aspects of the game must be aligned. I’ve helped many golfers achieve this balance, and I invite you to experience it too.

Guaranteed Success

Try me, like many top players and juniors have done. With the right guidance, you too can unlock the potential of your mind and body working together, transforming your golf game in ways you never thought possible.

After developing your physical abilities and refining your technique, the mental aspect completes the cycle. Confidence in your swing and body builds resilience and ensures long-term success on the course.

    "I'll guide you in mastering strategy and building confidence"
