Basics Golf Private Lessons

Coach can play! But as this 1:18 video describes, these sessions are not aimed so much at technical proficiency as they are in LOWERING YOUR SCORE.  I can help beginners and newcomers but the players who would most benefit are the players who already play and want a lower score.  That goal is about COURSE MANAGEMENT and the Basics Mindset.

There is no quicker way to lower your score than to improve your short game:

• Chipping
• Putting
• Bunker play
• See Yardage Grid below
