Christopher’s lesson was quite helpful. He explained everything with patience, and you could tell he genuinely cares about making sure you grasp the concepts, which made the experience pretty comfortable. Still, I’m hoping to improve my contact with the ball and really get more stable in my swings, though his insights definitely helped. If you’re looking for someone who knows their stuff and takes the time to clarify, Christopher’s worth considering.

Even though the lesson was quite good, I think focusing a bit more on the fundamentals could really make a difference, but overall, I found it quite helpful.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson, I evaluate the player’s natural motion, grip, stance, posture, and alignment. I introduce the basic structure of the golf swing and correct the main setup issues. The priority is establishing a proper foundation so the player understands how to position themselves and move the club correctly from the start.
Lesson 11+From lesson 11 onward, we refine the player’s mechanics and begin applying skills on the course. This includes distance control, wedge play, short-game versatility, putting structure, and course strategy. The goal is to build a complete, consistent game the player can rely on during real rounds.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4–10 develop the full swing and short game. We work on rotation, weight transfer, swing path, low-point control, and reliable contact across all clubs. Players also learn chipping technique, pitching basics, and structured putting fundamentals. Video analysis and targeted drills help reinforce proper movement.
Lesson 2-3Lessons 2–3 focus on building a consistent setup and improving the takeaway. Players work on controlling the club on plane, stabilizing their lower body, and making cleaner contact with short and mid irons. These lessons begin shaping a repeatable swing pattern.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson, I evaluate the player’s natural motion, grip, stance, posture, and alignment. I identify their main swing tendencies and introduce the fundamental positions needed for a proper golf swing. The focus is on establishing a clear baseline and correcting the key mechanical issues that will have the biggest impact going forward.
Lesson 11+In lessons 11 and beyond, we refine the player’s full game — full-swing mechanics, wedge play, short-game versatility, and putting fundamentals. We also introduce on-course strategy, shot selection, and distance control. These lessons help the player apply their swing reliably on the course and build a complete, consistent playing structure.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4–10 focus on full-swing development and short-game fundamentals. We work on rotation, weight transfer, swing path, and shaping solid contact across all clubs. Players also learn chipping technique, pitching mechanics, and basic putting structure. Video feedback and structured drills are introduced to help the player understand and repeat proper movement patterns.
Lesson 2-3In lessons 2–3, we reinforce the fundamentals and begin building a consistent setup and takeaway. Players learn how to move the club on plane, control the low point, and create clean contact with short and mid irons. These sessions focus on developing a reliable motion and eliminating early swing faults.
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen working with kids, I focus on making golf fun, simple, and highly interactive. I use easy-to-understand drills, visual cues, and games that keep them engaged while learning the fundamentals. My goal is to build confidence, coordination, and consistent habits without overwhelming them. I create a positive environment where they can learn at their own pace, stay motivated, and enjoy every moment on the course.
Working with teenagersWith teenagers, I combine strong fundamentals with more advanced concepts to match their growing abilities and focus. I explain the ‘why’ behind each movement so they can understand and repeat it on their own. Lessons include structured drills, video feedback, and clear goals to help them improve quickly. I also prioritize building confidence, consistency, and course strategy so they can develop a complete, reliable game.
