Our Instructors' Key Thoughts

  • There is more than one way to swing a golf club. Whether it be 1 Plane or 2 Plane golf swings. There is also more than one set of fundamentals. But there is only one moment during the swing that really counts - IMPACT! We need to understand what it takes to create a consistent club to ball contact.
  • Golfers must learn how to control the ball rather than have it control them. On purpose you need to be able to hit it high or hit it low, curve it left or curve it right, make it run or have it stop on a dime.
  • People need to be taught according to their own individual LEARNING STYLES. This makes learning faster and more enjoyable. There are many different personalities, body shapes, sizes and strengths, all of which must be considered.
  • Whatever your goal, we have a Golf Learning Program to suit your needs.
