New to Golf? Wanting to be the best you can be?
The name Mark Gibson is synonymous with golf. For it seems a lifetime Mark has been associated with golf. It was destined that Mark would have a deep love of golf and it would be a large part of his life when at four years of age he was regularly on the golf course caddying for his father and had his first golf lesson on his sixth birthday. With that start in golf it is most likely that you might spend a fair amount of your life’s work on giving golf lessons.
Mark grew up on the Gold Coast, Australia with golf as a major part of his life. He was a gifted player who tried his hand as a tournament professional when the money in professional golf was not as it is now. Mark always had a passion for teaching the game he loved. He also had a thirst for knowledge. He has a desire to not only be the best he could be but be the best there is as a golf coach. From his start as a golf coach at Royal Queensland Golf Club in the late 70’s Mark’s journey has been one of learning and discovery for this golf coach. Today Mark is the owner and coaching director of Mark Gibson’s Exceptional Golf @ Royal Pines Resort, leading a team of coaching professionals at one of the premier Golf Resorts in Australia.
Mark has been quoted as saying there is no better sight than the smile of a struggling player hit that super shot and this phosliphy has unpinned Mark’s coaching career from those just starting out to the Elite Professionals.
Mark is a passionate student as well as a passionate teacher. He has seen his passion for study result in being 1 of only 3 with Certified Professional Advanced in Coaching PGA Accreditation and Master Fitter status as a club fitter out of the 1200 PGA members in Australia. Mark has won the PGA’s top teaching award not once but twice being the PGA’s National Teacher of the year while winning Queensland PGA Golf Teacher of the year an unprecedented three times.
Every day is a fresh adventure for Mark who lives by the creed:
“Those who dare to teach must never cease to learn” –

Chris & I would like to thank you for sharing your experience and expertise. Your lessons are certainly paying off. Not only are our handicaps coming down but most important, our confidence is rising. It feels great to at least be competitive. Remember when I as blaming my new clubs, they are now working a treat! Once again many thanks, by following your advice we look forward to lowering our handicaps even further. We can recommend your lessons to anyone who wants to improve their game.
Ken & Chris McGrailMy son Edward has been under the watchful eye of Nancy several times each week for the last 12mths now both in her group short classes and private lessons. Nancy’s dedication and commitment to sharing her knowledge and skills to the younger generations is remarkable. The improvement of my sons skills is very noticeable….. he just loves his golf and loves Nancy. I also have enjoyed both private and group lesson with Nancy, thus enabling myself to enjoy a gold social game of golf with friends. It’s is so pleasing to see a former LPGA professional champion golfer giving so much back to the sport. Thank you Nancy for taking Edward under your guidance. I would not hesitate to recommend Nancy a for either group or private lessons golf for both junior’s or adult’s.
Christopher DanI’m blown away with my progress over the past 12 months. Did you know that I was on a handicap of 26 when we first started working together? I am now playing off 12 thanks to our weekly lesson schedule.

Chris & Ken McGrailWhether you’re a professional athlete or a young aspiring athlete, Nancy Harvey is dedicated tremendously to her students. Nancy’s energy and enthusiasm is contagious. Her training technique not only builds a strong/well-conditioned athlete but her approach more importantly builds confidence in athletes to believe in their ability to reach new heights. Nancy has a deep understanding of “the swing” and of people’s strengths and abilities. Her knowledge of “the swing” allows her to break it down into simple key components for a student to easily understand. Nancy Harvey is an incredible coach and mentor. Without a doubt the best I have ever worked with!
Tahnee Jade BensonJust letting you know that I’ve just won the Lord Mayor’s Trophy here in Bundy. It was a two round stableford event. I’ve just turned 70 and am playing the best golf ever thanks to your expert guidance. Will be coming down soon for a refresher! All the best,
Kay TischlerNow back in Sydney. Enjoyed my lesson last Sunday, then played a round. I hit consistently and solidly off the tee, as well as with the 3 hybrid off the fairway, finishing three under my handicap. A good lesson indeed!
PaulNancy welcomed me into her golf world of knowledge, fun, and enthusiasm. With time she has turned my golf around with a degree of successful achievements and personal challenges. Her passion for this game rewarded her with many International Professional achievements which has now enabled her to teach all levels of golfing enthusiasts, from beginners to the experience golfers, her professional ability and sensitivity adapts to the individual. Ten years down the track, with a desire at 70 to crack the single figure handicap, I cannot think of anyone else who could possibly get me over the line. Nancy is an amazing lady, a true competitor
with outstanding humour which makes golfing for us all, such a fun sport.
Thanks Nancy for your continued interest and support.
