Christiaan Basson
PGA Associate Coach
Durbanville GC &
Hazendal, Stellenbosch
Christiaan was born and raised in the Strand region of the Cape. He progressed solidly as an amateur and began to forge a notable career for himself. In 2006, he was rewarded for his consistent golf and selected for South Africa to compete at the Eisenhower Trophy. The following year, Christiaan took the decision to turn pro, and it has paid off richly for him. He finished 62nd on the Sunshine Tour Order of Merit in his first year on tour, and has never been outside the top 40 in the years since. Christiaan only had to wait two years for his maiden Sunshine Tour win as he clinched the 2009 Coca Cola Charity Championship. In 2012, he proved this was no fluke as he won the Investec Royal Swazi Open. He got his 3rd tournament victory earlier this year at the Lombard Insurance Classic. In his time on tour, Christiaan has more than 30 top 10 finishes to his credit, firmly establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with.

Here are some of the reviews Matthew received:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
HEIN, STUDENT’S GRANDPARENT
Beginning 2022 I registered my grandson (8 yrs) with your academy. He lacked general cofidence and being small in posture has never excelled in contact sport at school. Matthew took him “under his wing” as coach and mentor.
Within ONE YEAR(!) he now is a little 9 year old boy filled with confidence. He is showing a lot more concentration in his class at school and every game played at the golfclub I can seen improvement!
He refers to Pure Motion as “his school ” and to Matthew as “my coach” – he will do whatever it takes to enhance the environment he is coached in – it is like he now has something he totally believes in.
Thank you and your team of coaches (Paul, Nina, Bob, etc) for making this year’s experience so special for him.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
CARLO SWANEPOEL, STUDENT’S PARENT
My son, Christian, started golf lessons with Matthew in 2020 aged 6 when he was mishitting the ball, usually with quite a fade. Since then his technique has improved to the extent that he is now hitting his irons with a slight draw which was what we intended. For a now 7 year old he also drives the ball pretty well. His accuracy has improved dramatically by working on his stance and has improved his ability to control his shot.
Matthew as a coach is incredibly patient, softly spoken and has great knowledge of golf. He challenges by creating ‘games’ and tasks which motivate Christian to improve. More recently, he has taken Christian out on the course which has been equally motivating and fun.
His coaching experience and ability ensures that Matthew keeps lessons interesting. This has not only really improved Christian’s game, but has also nurtured a love for the sport.
We have been very happy to refer Matthew to other parents who are just as happy as we have been.

Basic TPI Body Screen: R350
The TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) physical screen is a short screen of the player’s body movement and how the movement patterns could be restricting or affecting their golf swing. It looks at mobility, flexibility and strength and how it relates to the demands of the golf swing. The basic TPI Body Screen include a quick consultation, 10-12min physical screen of the player as well as a report of the results. This report can then be used by a player’s own biokineticist or we can refer them.
TPI Body Screen Starter kit: R470
The TPI Body Screen and starter kit option include the Body screen, the report, as well as a short Kick-Start exercise programme which is accessed via the MyTPI Pro app.
If the player requests updates to that programme it will be done for an additional R120 per update.

Here is just one of the many reviews Paul has received.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
MICHAEL DA SILVA, CLIENT
I started lessons with Paul after recovering from a broken arm, needing to rebuild my swing and strengthen my arm.
The technology of the CoachNow app was brilliant allowing me to view my swing, keep abreast of all the small changes, clearly see my progress and even enjoy share the benefits of the video clips with friends.
The personal attention to detail from Paul helped my understanding of the changes he brought about to enable me to improve. This all created a better and more detailed analysis of my swing which took me from a struggling 16 to a pretty decent 9 handicap.
I would strongly recommend Paul and Pure Motion Golf Academy to anyone wanting to improve and understand the dynamics behind their swing. He enabled me to achieve my aim.
