Group Instruction

I am pleased to announce for the 2012 season a new class program designed for golfers of all levels.  This program is structured similarly to a martial arts school in that for one monthly fee, you will have the opportunity to attend any class offered at your level during the week.  In other words, you will have the opportunity to attend as many as five classes in one week, and 20 in one month, for one fee, and this fee will include any range balls used during the session.

The reason I have developed this program is that I have found that conventional golf instruction for beginners is woefully inadequate.  Over the course of a typical 5 week beginner program you are “shown” the fundamentals of the golf swing, some putting and chipping, but you never actually LEARN!  It is simply not possible to become very good at this game without either exceptional talent and athletic ability, or a proper instruction program.  Golf is a complex game with many aspects to learn, similar to a martial art.  Therefore, it should be taught in a similar fashion to a martial art.

Have you noticed the success of the Korean and other Asian players on the worldwide tours in recent years?  They are learning the game in a more structured environment, particularly at a younger age.  In fact, in some instances, a student must make a commitment of at least one year in order to learn the game at a top junior academy. These students develop their skills at a fast pace through structured training.  This is why I have developed my program in a similar fashion.

Ultimately, this program is designed to be a continuous, year round training program, and the training will be moved indoors as the weather requires.  Three levels of classes will be offered.  The first level is for beginners.  Beginners will go through an eight week program, and they can join in at any time.  The program will be offered on a rolling basis so that the student will get all of the instruction in the program no matter when they begin. This program is designed to provide the new golfer with enough information and ability to begin shooting scores under 100 if they apply what they learn in the manner that the information is presented.

The next level is for the intermediate golfer who is able to break 100.  This is a two month program designed to build upon their existing knowledge and ability so that when they are finished they will have the ability and knowledge to shoot scores under 90.

Finally, the advanced level instruction is for the golfer who can already break 90, and wants to become a single digit handicap golfer.  This is also for the golfer who prefers a group setting over private instruction.

Similar to a martial arts school, you will be tested at various levels of achievement.  Golf is similar to the martial arts in that you never stop learning.  Even as an instructor, I never stop learning, and I will continually provide you with new content as you pass through the ranks.

The ultimate goal is to develop a complete golfer.  In other words, you will be trained in all areas of the game, including the fundamentals of the full swing, short game, putting, rules and etiquette, and even golf fitness.  As you progress through the levels, you will learn more advanced skills such as reading greens, shaping shots, shots from trouble lies, golf course management and the mental game.

This program is obviously designed for the serious individual who really wants to learn how to play this game well.  The training will be intense, and expectations of the student will be high.  Therefore, every prospective student will be interviewed to determine whether this program is truly suitable to their needs and desires.

Benefits

These programs provide a step-by-step process for learning the game of golf.  This process will help the prospective and seasoned golfer develop and improve their skills at a much faster rate, and with substantially better success, than traditional golf instruction.

All students will also have membership access to my online instruction website, www.yourgolfswingfix.com.  This site provides instruction videos to assist with the learning process.
