  • Steve Khatib Director Of Instruction 'The Golf Science Center'

    "I have been taking lessons at Steve Khatib's Golf School for just over five years now. When I started my best score over 18 holes was 127. Through Steve's personal lessons and golf seminars I have improved my game where I can now score in the high 80's and regularly par holes with some birdies in my rounds also. Steve's equipment fitting knowledge has allowed me to build a set of clubs that are tailored to my personal style, I can now concentrate on my game rather than struggling with wrongly fitted equipment. I am also very grateful for being invited to Steve's Golf Seminars where he has flown in top golf coaches from the US. The seminars have allowed me to fast track my progress.

    Thanks Steve for inviting me to your golf seminars this year. I was impressed that you flew in both Bobby Schaeffer, Gregg McHatton, Billy McKinney & Ben Doyle from the US , along with the other Australian coaches from Sydney. Bobby was inspirational in his teaching, and having Ben who is considered to be the Guru on GOLF, explain the components of the swing really helped my understanding of the game . Gregg 'the hat' really put in simple terms how to apply the energy system of the swing. I am looking forward to the next Seminars"

  • When I was in my early thirties my brothers invited me to my first golf game at East Malvern Golf Course. The outcome was dreadful and disheartening for me, as I felt I've been ‘digging trenches' for the entire 18 holes.

    As time went by, my husband suggested I should start taking golf lessons with his Golf Coach Steve Khatib. A few months later my husband invited me join him and his business partner for a game. Well, it's been the biggest thing since sliced bread for me. For the first time I enjoyed a game of golf!

    To this day I still can remember what Steve asked me at my first lesson: "What do you want to achieve with your golf?" My answer was to learn to play properly on a golf course.

    How time has flown by, it's been a very good long four years of learning and understanding how to play golf properly in my program. Now when I play golf with friend's and associates I always get comments like I have a nice golf swing. This golf swing I have is with my thanks to my golf coach Steve Khatib who is the greatest golf coach who breathes and loves his golf with a passion.

    Along the way I've learnt many things from Steve, such as how to use my hips as a power source, to swing the club with my hands as only an extension to my turning hips and only for holding the club. Only recently a light bulb came on for me about how to read extreme slopes on greens correctly. For me this is my greatest achievement.

    Finally, I still have a long way to go to in playing every hole with consistency. But in the meantime I've come to love this game they call "GOLF" with a passion plus having fun along the way and continuing my program with Steve & improving my the golf skills.
