Instructional Components:
Putting:
Our teaching professionals understand that mastering the putting fundamentals-speed, distance, and accuracy-separates
the good putts from the bad ones. Our professionals will work with you to improve all three, and shave strokes off your game.
Short Game:
Touring professionals realize the importance of a great short game. It can either make up for an errant shot, or
capitalize upon a great shot. Every shot has a combination, just like a lock. Our experienced teaching professionals
understands these combinations and will show you how to accomplish these delicate shots including up-hill and downhill
lies, chips, and even difficult bunker shots. This will radically improve your scores
Long Game:
It is not uncommon for a touring professional to drive the ball over 300 yards with accuracy. We will show you how
grip, stance, alignment and posture will allow you to hit "the big drive."
Course Management:
Course management is a critical element of golf. Our professionals will work with you to identify whether it's time
to lay up, or time to go for it, and the risk reward factor. Eliminating mental errors will make your game more consistent
and fun.
In addition to on-course instruction, state-of-the-art video analysis is included for you to be able to view and
re-view your swing, and instructor comments are recorded for future student reference.
