Lessons
Your First Lesson: Building a Baseline
Your first lesson starts with a conversation. We discuss your golf goals, any previous instruction, and what you hope to achieve. We also talk about physical limitations or past injuries so we can adapt the session to your body.
After a brief warm-up, we ask you to hit a few shots with the club of your choice. This initial swing gives us a snapshot of your current technique. We may record a short video from two angles to show you what we see. We do not change your swing during the first session; the goal is simply to understand where you are starting from.
By the end of this first lesson you will have a clear picture of your strengths and one or two priority areas to work on. We provide a simple takeaway drill to try before your next visit.
What a Lesson Series Covers
A series of lessons builds on itself. Typically we begin with the foundation: grip, stance, posture, and alignment. Once these fundamentals are reliable, we move into the full swing with irons and then woods.
We also dedicate time to the short game. Putting, chipping, and pitching are covered in dedicated sessions because they make the biggest difference to your score. Course management and strategy enter the conversation as you progress, helping you make smarter decisions on the course.
Each lesson in a series has a clear theme and a set of objectives. We review your practice and progress from the previous session, then introduce one or two new concepts. You always leave with a specific focus for your next practice session.
Video Analysis and Launch Data
We use video analysis to show you exactly what your swing looks like. Slow-motion playback, side-by-side comparisons with a reference swing, and on-screen drawing tools let you see the positions you are hitting and the ones you want to achieve. This visual feedback is often the fastest way to understand a swing change.
Launch monitors add another layer of data. We measure ball speed, clubhead speed, launch angle, spin rate, and carry distance. This information removes guesswork. For example, if your driver shots are too low, the launch data tells us whether the issue is angle of attack or dynamic loft. We use these numbers to confirm that the changes you make are producing real, measurable improvement.
Data and video are used together. We show you the video of the swing and the corresponding numbers from the monitor so you can connect the feel of the swing to the actual result.
Practice Plans Between Lessons
What you do between lessons determines how fast you improve. We give you a written or digital practice plan after each session. The plan is designed to be done in short, focused blocks of 15 to 30 minutes, two to three times a week.
Each plan includes:
- One or two specific swing drills to reinforce the lesson’s key points
- A short putting or chipping routine to sharpen your touch
- A simple practice game to keep you engaged and give you a clear target
- A reminder of what to ignore so you do not overload your swing
We encourage you to practice with intention. Hitting a basket of balls without purpose does not help much. Instead, we suggest you rehearse slowly, check your basics on every shot, and step away for a break when your focus drops. If you have questions between sessions, you can reach out to your instructor by email for quick clarification.
