Private Golf Instruction
To all golfers,
It is my contention that learning to play golf correctly, without experiencing a common problem associated with golf instruction called “paralysis from analysis”, students needs a sustained period of “clear and concise” input. Trying to learn golf in an hour, even five or six one hour sessions over a few weeks or months, will not and does not work!
Given sufficient time, an experienced teacher can make a huge difference in a veteran golfer’s game and provide the “new to the game” golfer invaluable assistance that will introduce them to the game in a manner that will keep them in the game for a lifetime.
Over the last several years, with students ranging from beginners to touring professionals, I have conducted a considerable amount of private/semi private half-day and full-day sessions. The results have been extremely promising. In fact, the students felt these experiences were some of the most productive of their golfing careers. Ultimately, the common response was that these sessions provided them with a much more enjoyable and efficient approach to game improvement.
The success of these sustained periods of instruction lies in the fact that we have sufficient time to simplify the fundamentals, which most golfers tend to complicate and during this same time, have the student experience “properly struck golf shots”. Quite frankly, my goal is to systematically reprogram their perspective and understanding of Absolutes. These are facts that cannot be ignored or neglected in the learning and execution of the golf swing. While it obviously readily applies to the recreational golfer, I am constantly surprised by how this technique simplifies and compartmentalizes even the most talented player’s game improvement plan.
We all have heard “the customer is always right”. If you only have time for a one hour lesson, we’ll oblige and provide you with the best lesson you can get. Just understand, “more is better” when it comes to learning to play this great game. This is not an attempt at an “up sale”. We just want you to see improvement during the lesson and leave better than when you arrived.
Sure, time and money have a direct influence on your decision. However please consider that the cost for a series of five or six lessons may be better spent with a great teacher for a few hours that enables you to “get it” while your teacher is standing there with you. You will also go home with the tools to continue to improve and then a few phone calls and an occasional checkup will keep you on track.
Golf School Philosophy.....”EXPECT TO GET BETTER”®
After 30 years of helping beginners to PGA and LPGA touring professionals, it has become extremely apparent to me that the average golfer needs only to acquire three basic capabilities: solid contact, direction control, and sufficient distance. If you can't hit it, you don't care about direction. If you can hit it, direction is everything and once direction control is repeatable, you want to hit it far enough! Our staff will spend the time needed for you to get these elements under control so you can begin to play with enjoyment and improve with rehearsal and practice.
