My experience, backing your game

A fully qualified PGA Professional since 2001, I bring over two decades of experience in both playing and coaching golf at a high level. I’ve competed in tournament golf, with a career highlight being my victory in the 2006 Regional Qualifying for The Open. My coaching journey has taken me to prestigious venues such as The Mere Golf Resort in Cheshire and The Tytherington Club in Macclesfield. More recently, I launched my own state-of-the-art indoor golf facility, offering Trackman-enabled practice and lessons to a thriving base of players. I’m also a certified Mind Factor coach, trained under renowned performance coach Karl Morris. Now based in Hertfordshire, I offer in-person coaching as well as online programmes via the V1 Golf app. When I’m not on the course or in the studio, I’m a passionate fan of both football and golf.

Player testimonials

As a 25Hcp player with some very bad habits and getting frustrated playing, I found coach Darren Cain. A friendly welcome and good first impression meant I was in the right place. He assessed my swing and worked with me to massively improve my game. His approach to getting the coaching right for my goals, and the knowledge and understanding of the technique and mental aspect, is second to none.


Due to his engaging style of coaching and with the added benefit of the Trackman system to track my progress, l'm now playing off a 10hcp and enjoying my golf so much more.
 

Can't thank Darren enough for the time and effort he's put into my training over the past 4 years.
