Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson, I need to determine how much of a "newbie" you are.
I have literally coached students who have never swung a club prior to the first lesson. I have coached a couple of students who have only experienced simulator golf and not "live outdoor" golf.
Through an initial conversation:
- I find out whether you've been to a driving range before.
- Have you played an actual outdoor golf course including par 3's only?
- Are you looking to improve to the point of competing with friends, family, and neighbors outings?
- Do you want to compete at higher levels in high school, college, and beyond?
- What other sports have you participated in?
Additionally, we may talk about why the game is so hard, your favorite professional golfers, and more.
The initial lesson is ultimately about two things:
1. Getting to know you better
2. Focusing on pure, flush contact of the golf ball. There is no consideration given to scoring in the early lessons. IT IS CRITICAL TO DEVELOP solid, consistent contact with the golf ball in the early stages.
The higher lofted clubs such as the pitching wedge, gap wedge, and nine iron are utilized the most in the beginning.
Lesson 11+There are a lot of factors here. I will have conversations with the client. We will review where we started til where we are now.
What are the students' strengths up to this point?
Are their specific positive and/ or negative patterns ?
The golf game is filled with many little things. We can really get down to all the nitty gritty details.
Even a small error in the swing plane can sometimes cause issues with ball flight or non centering of the golf ball.
If you continue to do this "tiny mistake," it may result in less than desirable outcomes.
We will grind at it together to reach your maximum potential.
