Profile: The London Golf Performance Academy

The London Golf Performance Academy, based at two golf clubs, is only five years old but plans to go from strength-to-strength as soon as this year.

The London Golf Performance Academy, located at both Bexleyheath Golf Club and Aquarius Golf Club, has moved from strength to strength since opening in 2017.

The academy offers golf tuition, practice sessions, custom fitting – with a shop – and has grown from a self-funded startup to one of the most popular places to take golf lessons in London.

With now more than 6,000 clients, The London Golf Performance Academy has helped people of all ages and backgrounds into the game; winning ‘Golf Academy of the Year in South England’ for 2020.

The founder, Paul Elvin (pictured), said “It’s a great accomplishment and we’re very proud but we are also looking to the future.

“We will be pushing hard on expansion during the final quarter of 2022.

“We have a great team and we work hard together with long term goals in mind.”

Paul, who is a PGA professional, manages both sites and focuses on the entrepreneurial side of the business.

“I spent a lot of my early 20s with a great mentor in BBC Million Dollar Trader and former vice president of Goldman Sachs, Anton Kreil.

“He taught me a lot and I still have a long way to go to be working on his level.”

The startup company has helped provide jobs for PGA professionals and has received over 500 five-star reviews.
