Anna’s students say…
I really love working with Anna. Since I started with her, I've built a wonderful friendship, and especially my short game has showed a wonderful improvement. I really recommend anybody to coach with Anna; she makes the work fun, and I never walk away without having learned a lot. I look forward to many more years under Anna's coaching.

Whilst working with Anna my whole golf game has improved tremendously as a whole. In addition, I learned so many other aspects involved in the game, which made me grow as a person. My time with Anna was extremely enjoyable and a learnt so much, helping me to succeed in the future. Thanks to Anna, I am now properly prepared to enter college in America. I can really recommend Anna's coaching to any young and upcoming golfer
- Hermine Greyling
I chose Anna because she offers what no one else can. Her experience far surpasses her competition's. The things I have learnt from her have not only helped grow me as a golfer but also as a friend towards others. The way she teaches is so unique in South Africa and is worth while to invest in. She is also really friendly and easy to get along with. Her attitude towards her students is one of respect and love.

European Golf Course Certificate
In order to be able to play on the course in Europe, you need a certificate to say that you are qualified. To obtain this certificate, there are certain tests you need to pass; a practical test and a rules & etiquette test. If you are a beginner and wish to get this certificate, I am able to assist you. I will perform the tests according to the Swedish model and give you a signed document where I explain the procedure in which the test has been preformed and the quality and standard of the test.
