Our Instruction:
1. First, we concentrate on training the small movements of the hands, wrists and arms,
movements required to control the club face. We then progress to engage the larger
muscles in the legs and torso to add distance for shot-making and improved control.
2. Lastly, we believe in properly learning the fundamentals of golf and we know that to
play good golf, these must be mastered.
3. When we do, you will strike the ball more solidly and have a wider range of shots.
Our key fundamentals
We place great importance on learning how to feel the club head, and how to take advantage of its basic state of inertia. In doing so, this provides the student with an effortless and effective swing.
The club and the club face itself is at the heart of your lesson program. You will learn how your body works in tandem with the movement of the club, and acts in response to the weight of the club head and where this connective system is directing you.
