The Short Game Guru Training Principle

Effective training is based on repetition, variety and fun. Short Game Guru provides you with a variety of effective exercises.
With the training tasks you can train your routine and get better bit by bit. Short Game Guru evaluates your results and compares them to other Short Gamers and to sports science results - your playing strength, development and improvement is displayed with statistics and graphics. Additional training plans, parcour tasks and interaction with your coach make Short Game Guru an efficient training tool.

Motivation through fun in training is for us in the first place. Short Game Guru does not replace a golf professional who shows you how the basic movements work, but helps you to motivate yourself and practice independently. This will help you to improve continuously and have more fun playing golf.

Golf professionals can use Short Game Guru when working with their students. Using Short Game Guru, training tasks can be set and progress recorded. For beginners (e.g. golf course students) Short Game Guru offers a wide range of motivating training tasks. But also advanced golfers and competitive golfers can practice very effectively and focused with Short Game Guru.
This makes training really fun.

Who/What is Behind Short Game Guru

Yves Tamborini
Short Game Guru, CEO & Founder

Hello, my name is Yves Tamborini (born Nottebrock). I am a designer, web developer and passionate golfer. Short Game Guru is my idea and completely developed from me.

I started playing golf at the end of 2007 and played my first tournament at the beginning of 2008. Since 2012, I have been consistently playing a handicap smaller than 5, I'am Lower Saxony Mid-Am Champion Individual (2013)/Team (2016), Club Champion Mid-Am (2013/2015/2018/2020) and regularly play in the German Golf League for my home club Peine-Edemissen. The short game of golf is my passion. I love chipping. Over the years, I've started to think more and more about how to motivate and help golfers to learn the short game more effectively.

I have neither a training as a golf professional, nor a coaching license. But I have already gained a lot of experience as a supporting coach for beginners and experienced golfers. One day someone called me Short Game Guru. This remained positively in the memory. Later, I had the idea to develop a system to effectively train the short game in golf. The name was thus quickly decided: Short Game Guru.

With the web app solution Short Game Guru I developed, I want to help all golfers to improve their short game and thus their golf game. During the development I relied on the experience of various PGA pros and competitive golfers. The first Short Game Coach and supporter of the first hour is Jens Knoop at the Golf-Club Burgwedel. There also took place on 3.4.2017 the first release event as part of the OpenRange.

A very special thanks to my blonde angel Lena - thank you for your patience and the many support!

Short Game Network

Under the name Short Game Network I combine all my activities in the golf area for the future. The training app Short Game Guru is the first product and the start. With the Short Game Tools (first tool is the so-called Basic Set for measuring and marking the short game exercises) new and innovative training aids will follow. The other projects in the golf area will be announced soon. As a Short Gamer I will inform you of course. Be curious ...
