Foxy's Golf is an Accredited PGA Golf Professional and Head Professional at Bearsted Golf Club. I turned pro in 1991 and have played, taught and retailed ever since.
Although having a playing career, I've focused my time mainly on my real passion, teaching. I've worked with a wide range of players from total beginners to elite tour pros. Most of my teaching is assisted with TrackMan technology, giving you great insight into your swing using data and video recording.
I'm a big believer that when it comes to golf, we're all individuals, and we all have little nuances that make us unique. However, there is a need to stay within a basic blueprint to allow success and continuous improvement to follow within your golf game.
My goal has always been to provide my students with the fun and excitement that the game of golf can bring to people.
Richard clearly knows what he is doing - one lesson and I have improved!
Foxy's golf experience is awesome. From the teaching where foxys knowledge of the golf swing is very good, he keeps his coaching method very simple to understand, and works with what you've got. He delivers lessons with fun and is always there for advice after a lesson. Has a great stocked pro shop and will help you with anything when looking for that special deal. Foxy has great staff all very much in his own style of friendliness, Callum. Steve. & Jeff. If you are looking for a friendly welcome for anything Golf Bearsted Golf Club Pro is the place to go.
Great service as always
Great service and Great price on the products I bought strongly recommended.
Professional expertise and always friendly and helpful advice.
Fantastic professional service but with a personal feel to it
My wife and I, along with my nephews, have been taking monthly golf lessons from Richard, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Not only is he a highly skilled and knowledgeable instructor, but he is genuinely invested in the progress of his students. His dedication goes above and beyond—I’ve even been able to text him while on the course, and he can spot and correct my faults through messages. That level of commitment is rare and speaks volumes about how much he cares. I would highly recommend [Instructor’s Name] to anyone looking to improve their golf game with a teacher who is both passionate and attentive.
Richard is a truly brilliant coach. He is a golfing expert who can work with anyone from beginner to pro. I initially planned to have a couple of lessons and move on but I find his coaching so valuable that I have continued working with him. I would recommend him to everyone from complete beginner to veteran player.
Yet again another great lesson with Richard! He always makes it fun and I come away from the lesson feeling good 😊 Highly recommend
Can not recommend Richard enough, he will always be willing to go that extra step to help. If you are new to golf or just want to improve, Richard and his team are all willing to help.
Richard is just a pleasure to be coached by. He helps you relax in the session and works to find the right balance between your physicality and the techniques that will improve your game. After 3 great sessions it’s all started to click and I can’t thank him enough. Would recommend Richard wholeheartedly for any golfer looking to improve their game and consistency……..as importantly for me he’s just a great guy and good to spend time with learning.
My Trackman lesson was very helpful. What I particularly liked was that Foxy focussed on a single development point without tinkering with grip / alignment / stance etc. Already starting to see a gradual improvement in shot accuracy.
What a great lesson that was. I told foxy what I wanted to work on and he spent the time doing exactly that. As a newbie to golf I obviously have a lot to learn but foxy made me feel comfortable throughout the lesson, we had a good laugh and he got me playing shots like I never thought I could. I’ll be back again soon. Thank you
What a great golf shop. Staff are very friendly and have excellent knowledge.
Everything was explained in a clear and understandable way I didn’t feel in any way confused or overwhelmed with intricate detail and felt almost immediate improvement in my performance Thanks Richard
I have had a series of lessons with Richard after two hip replacements and he has got me playing as well as I was before my surgery. Can't recommend him highly enough. This was not Caroline but her father Ralph.
Great bloke, who can teach anymore how to play golf. He is really teaching me a lot. He is easy to learn from and I always have a enjoyable lesson. Can't thank him enough.
One of the best golf coaches I have had. For me Richard’s teaching was just about playing to my best abilities. I went from a 28 handicapper to a 18 with his help.
I have had several lessons with Richard over the past few years. We has always identified the issue with my swing very quickly and given Clear advice and coaching on how to improve. He has a first class swing studio with TrackMan technology. I have no hesitation in giving him the strongest endorsement.
