Your Path
To Scratch.
Scratch Academy is our coaching programme: six PGA of Canada and LPGA professionals — tour players, national team members and a Player of the Year among them. They teach on the same launch monitors we fit clubs with, so every change has a number behind it.
Formats
Ways to work with a coach
Four ways into the Academy, from a thirty-minute tune-up to nine holes out on the course. Rates vary by coach, and all instruction is one-to-one with a qualified professional unless stated.
Semi-private duo
From $190 / hour
Two players, one coach. Works well for partners and regular playing pairs at a similar level.
Book this formatCoach & Play
From $399 / 2 hours
Nine holes out on the course with your coach. Club selection, course management and how you play a bad lie — the parts of the game a bay cannot put in front of you.
Book this formatBeginner group programme
$300 for 4 weeks
Four weekly sessions covering grip, setup and contact, in a small group. $75 a week if you would rather pay as you go.

Buy your lessons up front
A single lesson fixes what is in front of you that day. A block is how a change actually sticks — and every lesson inside one costs less than booking it alone.
The Turn
5 lessons
Five lessons with one coach. Enough to change a single thing properly and find out whether it survives a week away from the bay — which one lesson on its own never tells you.
$5 off every lesson — $25 over the pack
Use within 6 months of purchase.
The Full Round
10 lessons
Ten lessons and a year to play them. Long enough to rebuild a swing, groove it and carry it out onto the course, with the biggest saving on every lesson in the block.
