On-Course
Instruction
They say the longest walk in golf is from the practice tee
to the first tee. You'll make that walk a breeze. Our on-course instruction
immerses you in solving the problems and facing the challenges of actual play.
In addition to the fundamentals, you'll also learn game flow, timing, course
analysis, and specialty shots. Many other programs do not have access to the
golf course, forcing students to spend all their time on a driving range or in
a "learning center".
4-to-1
Students to Pro Ratio
Learning requires
a balance of advice and practice. Our low students to pro ratio ensures you get
personalized instruction along with time to work with new methods, learn from
other students, and try things over and over until you understand what you're
doing wrong and what you're doing right.
The
quality of our coaching reflects its philosophy that
"Five minutes with a good teacher is better
than five days with a poor one.
Computerized
Video Analysis
Each
student is recorded individually and their swing is analyzed featuring slow
motion, stop action, and frame by frame with our pro, so you can completely
understand your swing dynamics. The video is kept in the computer library for
future reference.

Learn though Lessons
Golf lessons are, by far, the best way to learn to golf. While it’s
possible to teach yourself with numerous trips to the driving range and the
local golf courses, it’s quite likely that you’ll end up teaching yourself some
bad habits and struggle to improve.
Many struggling golfers blame their equipment for their poor play.
Some of them go out and buy thousands of dollars worth of premium golf clubs in
hopes of correcting their swing. Does that make sense to you? If the golf swing
is flawed, more expensive clubs won’t help to fix that…Lesson will…!
A golf professional will teach you to use a proper grip, swing
with the correct posture and a good stance, keep your head and shoulders lined
up correctly, use your body and arms to achieve full swing power and get you to
learn how to practice productively.
Premium golf clubs will drain your bank account and make you “the
guy with the nice clubs that still can’t hit a decent shot.” Don’t be that guy.
In the end, the guy (or gal) that scores better is the one that gets to brag.
The Golf Game
The game of golf can bring you years of enjoyment, exercise and experiences. People have
been playing golf for centuries and now it's time for You to start.
Our mission here is to provide you with all the tools and information you need
to get started. Your first lesson in our program is to teach you about the
basics of golf grips, postures and golf swing dynamics.
Before you head out on the course, it might help to know a little bit about the
game, the rules of golf, the terminology of golf and why golf might be a great
sport for you.
We want you to know that in addition to being fun, learning to golf can be
inexpensive and golfing is a excellent form of exercise.
Finding
You Balance
To create a golf swing that produces consistency and power you
must maintain balance throughout the entire swing. They key to achieving
balance is to set up with your weight centered over the balls of your feet. By
doing this you have set your legs up to feel lively and ready for action.
Objective of the Game
Let's begin by taking a quick look at the objective of the game of
golf. As you may already know, the objective of golf is to get the golf ball in
the hole in the fewest number of strokes. "Strokes" are defined as an
attempt to strike and advance the golf ball. The fewer number of strokes it
takes a player to get the ball in the hole, the lower the golf score. The
long-term objective is to complete the 18 individual holes in the lowest number
of strokes possible, while still being able to enjoy the game.
A "golf course" is where the game is played, and is made
up of 18 individual and unique holes that all have a cup in which the ball
eventually ends up in. The holes vary in distance, difficulty and terrain. The
golf course consists of Par 3's, Par 4's and Par 5's. The par numbers assigned
to each hole refer to how many strokes it should take a player to get the ball
in the hole.
Par 3's:
These are holes that are relatively short. A player should get the
ball on the green from the tee box (designated area for starting a hole) in one
shot. Once the ball is on the green it should take two putts to get the ball in
the hole. Most Par 3's are between 100 and 200 yards long and a player would
typically use an iron on their tee shot.
Par 4's:
These holes are longer than the Par 3's, and require a long tee
shot and an "approach" or "second" shot" to get to the
green. Most Par 4's are between 250 and 400 yards long. A player would
typically use their driver on their tee shot and an iron for their approach.
Much like the Par 3's, it should take two putts to get the ball in the hole
when the ball is on the green.
Par 5's:
These are the longest holes on the golf course and typically require 3 shots to
get to the green. Distant from tee to green are in excess of 450m. A player
would typically use their driver on their tee shot, a fairway wood (3 or 5
wood) or long irons for their second shot and a short iron for their approach.
Again, it should take two putts to get the ball in the hole when the ball is on
the green
What is Short Game
The short game
is generally defined as any shot within or around 100 yards from the green.
There are many aspects to the short game, and many different types of shots
played from inside this distance. A good short game is the key to cutting
strokes off your score and playing better golf. Below is a brief description of
the 5 types of shots that make up the Short Game:
Pitching:
The Pitch shot involves hitting the ball fairly high into the air
and letting it roll along the green to the hole. Typically a Pitching Wedge or
Sand Wedge will be used for this shot.
Chipping:
The Chip shot typically involves hitting the ball a short distance
in the air and rolling it along the green all the way to the hole. Depending on
the lie, and granted there is a fairly unobstructed path to the hole, a club
with less loft, like an 8-iron can be played.
Lobbing:
The Lob shot is a tricky one that requires much practice. It
involves hitting the ball high in the air in an attempt to land it close to the
target, and stopping it quickly. Typically a Sand Wedge or Lob Wedge is used
for this shot, and again, will require hours of practice to master.
Bunker Shots:
Bunker shots refer to shots played from either a Sand or Grass
Trap. For a sand shot, a player will use the Sand Wedge and allow the loft of
the club to carry the ball out of the trap. Grass Traps are rare, but you will
find them on occasion. A lofted club like the Lob Wedge or the Sand Wedge
should get you out of this type of trap. Keep in mind that both of these are
hazards, so a player is not allowed to ground the club prior to the shot.
Putting:
Putting the golf ball effectively is one part of the game that
requires practice, practice, and more practice. Getting a feel and building
confidence in your putting stroke takes time, but the time you invest will
repay you on the course. Simply put, putting the ball involves moving the
putter head back and then through in a pendulum swing motion that advances the
ball towards the hole.
Conditioning and Preparation
Before you take that first swing with a golf club, there are some
things you need to know. Although swinging a golf club may look simple enough, the
mechanics that make a golf swing work involve several major muscle groups
working together. Some critical areas and muscles involved in the swing include
the back, the shoulders, the hips and legs. Stretching and strengthening these groups is very important
prior to playing golf. The golf swing is an unnatural movement, and proper
stretching and preparation will help to avoid injury.
Taking care
of Your Health
Each of these muscle groups is important, but most important of
these is the back. Since most
golf injuries occur to the lower back region, we take great care in that area.
A golf swing requires twisting of the torso, and can apply pressure and stress
to the upper and lower back. As a player addresses the ball, proper flex in the
knees can alleviate some of this stress, but not all. At address, the lower
back muscles support the upper torso weight as it is angled forward to the
ball. As the club is taken away to top position, the back twists, and is still
responsible for holding the head and shoulders steady and upright.
As the swing
proceeds downward, and then into the follow-thru, the arms transition around
the torso, causing the back to twist in the opposite direction. This unusual
motion can cause strain to an unprepared lower back. The golf swing can
generate club head speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour. It's this speed,
power, and momentum that a player must understand and be prepared for. The key
is to stretch, strengthen, and condition
these muscle groups to avoid injury. So before you dig into that large bucket
of range balls, take your time and sufficiently stretch out those muscles,
especially the back! Consult your Golf Pro for exercises you can do to prepare
your body for the game of golf.
