Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: August 5, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of YourGolfGuru.com (the "Website") and any lessons, courses, consulting, downloads, or other services offered through it (together, the "Services").

By accessing the Website, booking a lesson, subscribing to our newsletter, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

Who We Are

YourGolfGuru is operated by Kiran Kanwar, Ph.D., and provides golf instruction based on the Minimalist Golf Swing System, along with golf science education, research reviews, academic consulting, and related written and video content.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to book lessons or purchase Services directly. If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must make the booking on your behalf and accept these Terms for you.

Golf Instruction and Lesson Bookings

Lessons may be delivered in person or virtually. Virtual lessons typically involve the following:

  • You submit swing videos (usually one down-the-line and one face-on) using a club of your choice
  • You receive a biomechanical and anatomical assessment based on those videos and any gait, posture, or movement information you provide
  • You are shown the movements of the Minimalist Golf Swing System and given practice guidance
  • You submit follow-up videos and receive written or recorded feedback

You are responsible for providing accurate information about your physical condition, injury history, and playing background. The quality of any assessment depends directly on the quality and honesty of what you provide.

Scheduling and Attendance

Lesson times are confirmed in advance by email or WhatsApp. If you need to reschedule, please give as much notice as possible. Missed appointments without notice may be treated as a completed lesson.

Payments, Cancellations and Refunds

Prices for lessons, certification programs, and other Services are listed on the relevant page of the Website or quoted directly to you. Payment is due before the Service is delivered unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Because instruction, swing analysis, and consulting involve personalised work prepared specifically for you, refunds are not available once the work has been delivered. If you believe there has been an error in billing or a Service was not delivered as described, contact us and we will review the situation in good faith.

Digital products, downloadable materials, and course access are non-refundable once accessed or downloaded.

Golf Science Certification and Courses

Certification and course materials are licensed to you for your own learning and professional practice. Enrolment does not grant you the right to teach the Minimalist Golf Swing System as your own system, to train or certify others in it, or to reproduce course materials for third parties, unless you hold a separate written agreement permitting that.

Completion of a certification does not create an employment, partnership, agency, or franchise relationship with YourGolfGuru.

Health, Fitness and Injury Disclaimer

Important: Golf instruction, fitness suggestions, and nutrition or psychology tips provided through this Website are educational in nature. They are not medical advice, physical therapy, or treatment, and they are not a substitute for care from a qualified healthcare professional.

Any physical activity carries risk of injury. Before beginning or changing a golf swing, practice routine, fitness programme, or nutritional approach, you should consult a physician or other qualified healthcare provider, particularly if you have an existing injury, a medical condition, or are recovering from surgery.

You participate in all instruction and practice at your own risk. Stop immediately and seek medical attention if you experience pain, dizziness, or any symptom that concerns you.

No Guarantee of Results

Golf performance depends on many factors outside our control, including your practice habits, physical condition, equipment, playing environment, and consistency. While the Minimalist Golf Swing System is grounded in published research, we do not guarantee any specific improvement in ball striking, handicap, distance, consistency, or injury outcomes.

Testimonials and reviews published on the Website reflect the experience of individual golfers and are not a promise of comparable results.

Intellectual Property

All content on this Website, including the Minimalist Golf Swing System and its terminology, articles, research summaries, videos, images, ebooks, course materials, and site design, is owned by or licensed to YourGolfGuru and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

Governing Law
