Meet Russel, a Golf Coach in Prosper, Texas.
I’m a PGA member and have been teaching golf to men, women, and juniors for over 40 years so I have some great teaching experience. In working with beginners I usually stress the basic fundamentals of grip, alignment, and stance for the first couples of lessons as well as getting the students a feel for how to swing the club. A very important part of learning the game is to go out on the course to see how everything works on the course. We will try to do that in several lessons.

Meet Carlos, a Golf Coach in Prosper, Texas.
Growing up, I never expected to develop a deep love for golf, but in 1996, everything changed when I witnessed Tiger Woods' remarkable ascent in professional golf. His skill, determination, and sheer passion for the game captivated me from the start. Following his journey inspired not just my admiration for his athletic prowess but also his resilience and unwavering dedication to the sport. Since then, golf has profoundly enriched my life in countless ways. It has taught me invaluable lessons in patience, precision, and the pursuit of continuous improvement. The physical exercise and time spent outdoors have significantly enhanced my overall well-being. Moreover, golf has connected me with a vibrant community of like-minded individuals, fostering enduring friendships and providing enriching experiences that I cherish deeply.

Meet Kirsten, a Golf Coach in Prosper, Texas.
I am an author for Avid Golfer Magazines instruction articles. I grew up attending the Jim McLean full time golf academy in Fort Worth, TX and practicing alongside Jason Day, while traveling all over the country playing in the top junior tournaments and then went on to play college golf on scholarship. I spent numerous hours throughout the years shadowing Jim McLean, Butch Harmon, Lanny Bassham, Olympic gold medalist for the psychology side of golf and many other top instructors in the world. Always thought I wanted to play professionally but realized I did not like being gone for extended periods of time enough and always had a passion for helping others through teaching and golf fitness. I have a degree in Kinesiology and studied TPI golf fitness as well as worked with Jeff Banaszak who has coached many PGA Tour players for fitness.I love teaching and helping others, it is my passion. I adjust to the player and do not teach a one swing fits all method; I think it is important to build a swing around how the student moves best.

Top 8 Questions to Ask Before Starting Golf Lessons
9 min read
Starting golf lessons? Ask these 8 questions to save time, money, and get the best results: 1. What are your goals? Decide if you want to play casually, improve specific skills, or compete. 2. How much time can you commit? Weekly lessons plus 1-2 hours of practice are ideal. 3. What’s the coach’s background? Look for certifications, experience, and teaching style. 4. What do other students say? Check reviews or observe a trial lesson. 5. What are the costs? Private lessons cost $50-$150/hour; group sessions are cheaper. 6. Are discounts available? Look for bulk deals or junior rates. 7. What should you bring? Golf clubs, balls, tees, proper attire, and water. 8. What should you focus on? Master the basics: grip, stance, swing mechanics, and practice routines. Quick Tip: Use platforms like TeachMe.To to find qualified coaches and compare options. Start with clear goals and the right coach to ensure a smooth learning journey.Setting clear goals and understanding your time commitment helps you approach golf lessons with purpose and direction.Having specific goals ensures you get the most out of your golf lessons. Most beginners fall into one of these categories: Goal TypeDescriptionFocus AreasRecreationalPlay casually with friends or familyBasic swing mechanics, etiquette, and rulesSkill-SpecificImprove certain parts of your gameShort game, putting accuracy, or drivingCompetitivePrepare for tournamentsAdvanced techniques, mental focus, and strategy Make your goals precise and measurable. For example, instead of saying, "I want to get better", aim for something like, "I want to lower my score by 10 strokes in six months" or "consistently hit drives over 200 yards."Your progress depends on the time you dedicate to learning and practicing. A good starting point is weekly lessons (30-60 minutes each) paired with 1-2 hours of practice between sessions, adding up to 2-4 hours a week.Take a close look at your schedule and block out regular time slots for lessons and practice. Early mornings, evenings, or weekends often work well. Use tools like planners or apps to track your progress and plan drills.Focused practice is key. Even 30 minutes of intentional practice with clear goals can be more effective than hours of aimless hitting.Once your goals and schedule are clear, you’re ready to find a coach who matches your needs.Once you’ve set clear goals and figured out how much time you can dedicate, the next step is finding a coach who can guide you toward success. A good coach can speed up your progress and make the learning process more effective.When considering potential coaches, check for certifications like PGA membership, which signals professional training and adherence to standards. It’s also worth asking about their experience with beginners, their teaching techniques, how they track progress, and whether they customize lessons to fit individual needs.Some coaches might use tools like video analysis or data-driven methods, while others focus on hands-on adjustments. Choose someone whose methods align with your learning preferences and goals.Reviews, testimonials, and references can provide valuable insight into a coach’s reputation. If possible, observe a lesson to get a sense of their teaching style. Trial lessons are another great way to see how well their communication and approach work for you.Here are a few things to keep in mind when evaluating a coach: * Their teaching experience and areas of expertise * How clear and effective their communication is * Whether they adapt to different learning styles * Success stories or positive feedback from other students Steer clear of coaches without proper certifications, those who rely on one-size-fits-all methods, or anyone making unrealistic promises. Lesson costs can vary widely - from $25-60 for basic sessions to $75-300 for top-tier coaches at premium facilities [3][5]. Pick someone who fits your budget and aligns with your goals.Once you’ve found the right coach, you’re ready to plan your lessons and manage your budget effectively.Once you've chosen a coach, the next step is figuring out the costs and lesson options to plan your golf journey.Golf lesson prices can differ depending on the instructor's expertise and location.

Here are three key areas to prioritize: * Grip and Stance: How you hold the club and position your body sets the tone for every shot. A correct grip plays a big role in improving swing accuracy and consistency. * Basic Swing Mechanics: Work on creating a steady pre-shot routine. Many beginners skip this step, which often leads to uneven swings. * Practice Routine: Golf improvement takes time and regular effort. Most instructors suggest practicing at least once a week between lessons to reinforce what you’ve learned. Find out if your coach offers additional tools to support your learning. These might include: * Video Analysis: Slow-motion recordings to fine-tune your technique. * Practice Plans: Organized routines to help you stay consistent. * Digital Feedback: Remote evaluations using apps or online tools. * Drill Libraries: Specific exercises designed to target areas for improvement.

What to Ask a Good Golf Coach: Maximizing Your Learning Experience
5 min read
Finding the right golf coach can transform your game from frustrating to fulfilling. Whether you're a beginner looking to build proper fundamentals or an experienced player aiming to break 80, asking the right questions during your search helps ensure you're making a worthwhile investment in your golf journey. With hundreds of qualified golf coaches available, it's crucial to find one who matches your learning style and goals.Start by asking, "Can you describe your coaching philosophy?" A coach's response reveals their teaching approach and whether it aligns with your learning style. Some coaches emphasize technical precision, breaking down each swing component with scientific precision, while others focus on feel and natural movement. The best coaches adapt their methods to each student while maintaining core teaching principles. Listen for how they balance mechanical instruction with the art of the game."What is your experience working with golfers at my skill level?" This question is crucial because teaching a beginner requires different skills than coaching a single-digit handicapper. Your coach should have demonstrated success with players at your level and understand the progression required to reach your goals. Ask about specific success stories and how they've helped players overcome challenges similar to yours. Be wary of coaches who claim expertise across all skill levels without concrete examples.Ask, "How do you assess a golfer's skills and provide feedback?" Top coaches use a combination of visual assessment, video analysis, and on-course evaluation. They should explain their process for identifying swing flaws, measuring improvements, and communicating adjustments. Look for coaches who provide clear, actionable feedback rather than vague suggestions. Great coaches can break down complex movements into digestible steps and explain why certain changes will improve your game."How do you help golfers set and achieve their goals?" and "How do you track progress?" are essential questions. Effective coaches create structured improvement plans with measurable milestones. They should explain how they'll document your progress, adjust your training plan, and help you stay accountable to your goals. Ask about their system for tracking improvements in key metrics like driving accuracy, greens in regulation, and scoring average. The best coaches maintain detailed records of their students' development."What teaching methods and technologies do you use?" Modern golf instruction often incorporates launch monitors, swing analysis software, and other training aids. However, technology should complement, not replace, fundamental teaching skills. Your coach should explain how they balance traditional instruction with modern tools to enhance your learning. Ask about specific technologies they use and how these tools will benefit your development. Understanding their approach to technology can help you gauge whether they're staying current with teaching innovations while maintaining sound instructional principles."How do you incorporate mental training into your coaching?" Golf's mental aspects often separate good players from great ones. Strong coaches integrate psychological elements like pre-shot routines, stress management, and course strategy into their lessons. They should have specific techniques for building mental toughness and maintaining focus under pressure. Ask about their approach to helping students overcome common mental challenges like first-tee jitters, recovering from bad shots, and managing tournament pressure."What is your preferred communication style?" and "What is your availability?" Clear communication and consistent access to your coach are vital for steady improvement. Discuss lesson frequency, practice supervision, and methods for between-lesson support. The best coaches maintain professional boundaries while remaining accessible for questions and quick feedback. Ask about their policy on video swing reviews between lessons and how quickly they typically respond to student questions."How do you structure your lessons and what are your rates?" Understanding the coach's pricing model and lesson structure helps you evaluate the value proposition. Ask about lesson duration, package options, and any additional costs for technology use or practice facilities. Some coaches offer playing lessons on the course, which can be invaluable for strategy and course management training. Consider how their pricing aligns with your budget and development goals.When evaluating responses to these questions, consider: * How clearly the coach articulates their methods and philosophy * Whether their approach aligns with your learning style and goals * Their enthusiasm for teaching and student development * Their track record of student improvement * The value they offer beyond basic swing mechanics * Their commitment to continuing education and staying current with teaching methods * The quality of their practice facility and available technology Remember, a great golf coach does more than fix your swing—they become a trusted advisor in your golf journey. The right coach will understand your goals, create a clear path to achievement, and provide the support and accountability needed for consistent improvement. Take time to find someone who combines technical expertise with effective teaching skills and genuine interest in your development.Start your search today and use these questions to find a coach who can help you achieve your golfing potential. With the right guidance, you'll develop faster, avoid common pitfalls, and enjoy the journey to better golf.
Mastering Your Golf Swing: A Guide to Hitting Your Target Every Time
4 min read
Are you tired of watching your golf balls sail into the rough or splash into water hazards? You're not alone. Many golfers struggle with accuracy, but the good news is that with the right guidance and practice, you can dramatically improve your precision on the course. As experienced golf instructors, we've helped thousands of students transform their wayward shots into confident, accurate swings.Before diving into specific techniques, let's address a fundamental truth: accuracy in golf isn't about raw power or expensive equipment – it's about consistency and proper form. Think of your golf swing as a symphony where every movement must be in perfect harmony. When one element is off-key, the entire performance suffers.Your grip is quite literally your only physical connection to the club. A proper grip acts like a steady rudder on a ship, guiding your shot exactly where you want it to go. One of the most common issues we see in our lessons is students grip the club too tightly, creating tension that throws off their entire swing. Instead, imagine holding a small bird – firm enough to keep it secure, but gentle enough not to hurt it.Alignment is where most recreational golfers go wrong without even realizing it. Picture railroad tracks: your feet, hips, and shoulders should form one rail, while your target line forms the other. They're parallel but never meeting. During our lessons, we often see dramatic improvements in accuracy simply by correcting a student's setup position.Your hips are the engine of your golf swing, but many golfers either ignore them completely or use them incorrectly. Think about throwing a ball – your hips naturally lead the motion. The same principle applies to golf. A proper hip rotation creates power while maintaining control, much like a figure skater pulling in their arms during a spin.The transition from backswing to downswing is where accuracy is often won or lost. Many golfers rush this crucial moment, creating a jerky motion that sends the ball off target. The key is to think of your downswing as being pulled by gravity rather than forced by muscle.The most accurate golfers don't just swing – they see their shot before they take it. During our lessons, we encourage students to develop a pre-shot routine that includes clear visualization. Imagine your ball's flight path like a laser beam cutting through the air to your target.Through thousands of lessons, we've observed that most accuracy problems stem from three main issues: * Over-gripping the club, creating tension throughout the swing * Poor alignment, often aiming far right or left of the intended target * Rushing the transition, leading to inconsistent contact Improving your accuracy isn't an overnight process, but with professional instruction, you can make remarkable progress. Our network of certified instructors specializes in helping golfers at every skill level achieve their accuracy goals. They use video analysis, hands-on instruction, and proven teaching methods to help you understand and improve your swing.Don't let inconsistent shots hold back your golf game any longer.
