Play Golf at Joe Balander Short Course

Golf is one of the most frustrating, demoralizing and addictive things you can do. I have been playing for 28 years. I spend 85% of my time conscious practicing , playing or thinking about golf. Each person learns the game differently and I have learned and taught myself through a variety of methods.

"Working with Lanam has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my game. He is incredibly patient and creates such a comfortable, encouraging environment to learn in, no matter your skill level. What really stood out to me was his gentle, positive, and fun coaching style — he never makes you feel pressured or discouraged, and instead builds confidence with clear guidance and thoughtful feedback. (Without overloading you) What impressed me most was how quickly I saw improvement. Within just a few adjustments my swing felt more consistent, and my confidence improved. He has a great ability to break down complex mechanics into simple, actionable adjustments that actually work. If you’re looking for an instructor who is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping you improve quickly while still enjoying the process, I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
