“I have known Scott Hill since 2016, at which time he was a valued member of Sport New Zealand’s Performance Coach Advance Program (PCA). The PCA was designed to nurture the development of talented coaches identified by their National and/or Regional Sport Organisation, it has also been my privilege to observe and critique his coaching in a mentoring capacity.
As a highly credentialed PGA tour player, Scott has successfully transitioned into a coaching career that enables him to encompass many aspects of a player’s journey. Scott is an outstanding student of coaching and personal development. He is exceptionally diligent in his commitment to providing a quality environment for all players, which sees his offering extend beyond golf mechanics (where he has an exceptional depth of knowledge) through to golf course management, conditioning, nutrition, and the various psychological components of golf that culminate in an enriched capacity to manage situations that occur on the golf course.
Scott is undoubtedly one of New Zealand’s premier golf coaches, and I would have no hesitation in encouraging any golfer (at any level) to seek an engagement with Scott on their playing journey. .”

Performance coach to world champions, national champions and world record holders, and author of ‘Lead to Succeed: What It Takes to Be the Best.’
“Friendships are at the forefront of all we do, for me the start point of coaching.
To engage, enlighten and ultimately empower the student… Scottie has the ability to deliver those ingredients. Key ingredients in my view.
Passion and a thirst comes from experience, research and ultimately confidence in what you do, Scottie has developed his way in all those areas and is constantly trying to find a better way without loosing his core beliefs.
There is no one way, but being helped by Scottie you’ll find your way.”

“If you are serious about improving your golf game, then lessons with Scott are a must.
I have had tuition from many coaches over the years but find Scott to be by far the best. He is extremely approachable and very easy to understand.
You not only have a lesson with Scott but his follow up is second to none. You feel he is genuinely interested in your progress and always only an email away for any questions you may have.”

“I have known Scott for over 10 years and have found him an excellent golf coach.
Technically very strong combined with a personality that gets the message through clearly and succinctly while at the same time making it fun. He cares passionately about the game as well as his clients and their improvement.
I have recommended Scott to a number of friends over the years and have no hesitation in providing this testimonial for Scott.”
— Patrick O’Rourke
“I started lessons with Scott a year ago as a fairly novice golfer. I'd had some previous coaching but hadn't seen any improvement and was frustrated with the progress of my game.
Scott is different - he has a knack for communicating and understands how to coach at all levels. I look forward to our weekly sessions, my golfing skills have improved and I can play with confidence.”
— Elizabeth Leitch
“I have been working on and off with Scott over a number of years. Scott has a real talent for immediately understanding my swing, working with my limitations, finding the flaws and helping provide solutions that work for me.
Having a swing coach that has been on the tour, that constantly researches the latest understanding of biomechanics as it relates to golf, uses teaching techniques that work and has the ability to explain what we are trying to achieve and what we should be feeling during the swing is invaluable.
The more I work with Scott the more all aspects of my game improve.”
