Warm Welcome and Connection
Greet the student warmly and get to know them. Ask about their experience with sports, why they’re interested in golf, and what they hope to achieve.
If it’s a youth, he might ask about their interests outside of sports to build rapport.

Review progress, celebrate wins, and set future goals. The final takeaway: golf is a continuous journey of learning and growth, just like life.

Lesson 5: Reading the Green and Putting
Introduce putting techniques and how to read the green. The takeaway: success comes from attention to detail and learning to trust your instincts.
Lesson 6: Course Etiquette and Sportsmanship
Teach the importance of golf etiquette and respect for others on the course. Students learn that how you carry yourself matters in both golf and life.
Lesson 7: Bunker Shots and Overcoming Obstacles
Work on bunker shots and recovery techniques. The key takeaway is that challenges are part of the game, and with the right mindset, any obstacle can be overcome.
Lesson 8: Club Selection and Strategic Thinking
Teach how to choose the right club for each situation. Students learn that making smart choices leads to better outcomes — a metaphor for making thoughtful decisions in life.
Lesson 9: Playing a Few Holes (Real-World Application)

Lesson 10: Review and Reflection
In Lesson 2, Coach Damean would focus on refining grip, stance, and posture while introducing balance, alignment, and the short game, emphasizing patience and the impact of small, consistent actions. Lesson 3 would shift to the mental game, teaching students to stay present, manage frustration, and make strategic decisions on the course, reinforcing that confidence comes from preparation and resilience. Both lessons would blend golf fundamentals with life lessons on focus, perseverance, and adaptability.
