Lesson Cancellation Policy

As a Professional organisation I would expect maximum courtesy from my clients as we operate a full courtesy towards “you” my clients.

To ensure a consistent business relationship the following conditions are in place.

• A client cancelling an individual golf lesson directly with SCOTT MCGOVERN must be received by email within 24 hours of the lesson date. If the full notice is not given then the client will lose that particular lesson forming part of the package or be liable for full payment of the lesson fee.

• A client cancelling less than 24 hours of a scheduled lesson will be liable for 100% of the lesson fee or lesson part of the package total.

• In retrospect of “potential” weather cancellation, the client should contact SM GOLF COACHING LTD by phone to check on course conditions if in doubt. Any lesson deemed to be detrimental due to Health & Safety concerns may be cancelled at short notice by SM GOLF COACHING LTD

• ​

• If sudden illness prevents the client from attending their lesson outside the above time frames please call SM GOLF COACHING LTD where he may consider an allowance for a period of time.

• Lessons are purchased with SM GOLF COACHING LTD and not Oulton Hall, therefore from time to time lessons may have to be conducted at another facility to Oulton Hall in the instance of closure to the driving range or facilities not being appropriate for the lesson. You will receive at least 24 hours notice should this be the case and facilities will be within an appropriate distance to Oulton Hall.
