Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe’ll start with the foundations — you’ll learn basic golf etiquette, how to navigate the course, and get comfortable with essential equipment. We’ll cover grip, stance, posture, and introduce you to the full swing using short irons so you can build confidence right away.
Lesson 11+We’ll bring everything together through on-course simulation, targeted practice games, and real-time feedback. We’ll also introduce you to specialty shots like bunker play and trouble shots, and prepare you for independent play or friendly competition with a strong, complete foundation.
Lesson 4-10We’ll expand your skills by focusing on shot accuracy, distance control, and introducing more clubs like your driver and wedges. You’ll also learn course management strategies, pre-shot routines, and how to practice efficiently between lessons to build lasting confidence.
Lesson 2-3Next, we’ll refine your fundamentals by dialing in your swing mechanics and introducing rhythm and tempo. You’ll also learn the basics of putting and chipping to round out your short game. These sessions are all about building consistency and control.
Youth players
Working with kids
When coaching young kids, I prioritize making golf fun, active, and approachable. Lessons are built around simple movement patterns, visual cues, and creative games that build coordination and confidence. I introduce core fundamentals like grip, stance, and swing through age-appropriate drills designed to keep energy high and attention focused. My goal is to create a positive, encouraging environment where every child feels supported, celebrated, and excited to come back and play again.
Working with teenagersWhen working with teens, I tailor lessons to challenge and engage them both physically and mentally. Whether they’re new to golf or building toward competitive play, I focus on refining technique while developing course strategy, confidence, and decision-making skills. I incorporate individualized practice plans, performance feedback, and optional fitness routines to support their growth. Lessons also emphasize independence, accountability, and self-belief — helping teens improve both on and off the course.
