Our Golf coaches here at the Mornington Golf Club are passionate about the game of golf and about achieving results in all levels of golf improvement from beginner and junior golfer to the Tour Professional.
Instructors continue to attend educational programmes and seminars to remain at the forefront of golf instruction and equipment technology. Swing analysis software is also used to highlight the swing changes and improvements required.
Golf Lessons & Clinics
Individual lessons are ideal to achieve maximum improvement. An individual lesson helps to identify golf improvements specifically for your swing and all parts of your game. Information regarding Junior and Women’s clinics will be available soon.

Teaching Professional – Ollie Woj P: (03) 5975 4171 E: ollie@olliewoj.com
Certified PGA Member – Advanced in Coaching & Game Development
Keep it Simple – Make it Fun – Improve Your Game
These three values form the foundation of my entire coaching philosophy!
Golf has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I spent countless days on the course as a kid and developed a child’s curiosity of golf’s constant challenges, which sparked a lifelong fascination with the sport—both as a player and now as a coach.
A successful amateur career naturally led me to the professional ranks, highlighted by reaching the final qualifying stage of The (British) Open.
Over the past 20 years as I moved away from competitive play into coaching, I have developed a deeper appreciation for the art of teaching. During this time, I have completed a diploma in Coaching & Positive Psychology, certified as a David Leadbetter Coach and I am a qualified coach of All Abilities athletes, to name a few.
The ability to communicate clearly and effectively with individuals is invaluable, and I always focus on keeping things simple and fun.
I also believe that coaching should reflect real-life. So don’t be surprised if we head out for a few holes on the course during your first lesson!
