The Golf Swing is "Simple" but it is not easy!


"The Instructional Process"
  • Getting comfortable and learning to communicate.
  • Goal Setting.
  • Achieving your goals - Practive vs. Play.
  • Creating a budget - Time vs. Money.


"The Game"
  • Build a balanced platform - Swing on this platform.
  • Indentify the target - Make a motion toward the target.
  • Create a "Feel."
  • Have the necessary tools.


Students' Responsibilities
  • Arrive early, eager to learn, ask questions, and have fun.
  • Check in at the golf shop, fill out the questionare, and do some stretching exercises.
  • Wear comfortable athletic shoes, preferably golf shoes (they're safer), and a glove is recommended. All of these items are available on site.
  • Properly fitted clubs greatly enhance your game potential. We recommend review of this after a few lessons and before purchasing. Bring your own clubs, or we can provide you with some.
  • Get the most out of each lesson - Bring a tape recorder, or write things down. Understand each concept delivered.
  • Set a Schedule - Lessons vs. Practice Time, Remember: Best Results - Lesson Tee, Practice Tee, & First Tee.
  • Be patient with yourself and your learning process. Don't be surprised if there is regression before there is progress.
  • Stay with the program. Practice the specific lesson assignment with the club or clubs used during instruction. It takes time to develop a feel through muscle memory.
