Golf Lessons for Low-Handicap Players
Experienced players with a handicap of 10 or less have certain expectations when taking a golf lesson. You’ve already reached a level of skill and experience that allows you to get around the course and score. You aren’t looking for a swing overhaul, a magic bullet tip, or an hour of swing theory. You want to optimize your swing and all aspects of your game.

First, you can be confident that I will work with you and your swing. Helping good players usually means small tweaks to optimize what is already working. These can range from adjustments to your posture and stance, weight transition, ball position per club, or whatever is needed for that individual golfer. Maybe it’s down to club path control a couple of degrees on either side of zero so you can rely on a stock shot shape. Or improved clubface control to avoid those tug days. Or your irons could benefit from a higher trajectory to increase GIR. You may want to learn the flighted wedge from 100 and in for better distance and spin control. Or master the difference between pitch and chip shots and when to use each. My better players stop in every few months when they have something specific to work on, and we go after those things together. Because we speak the same language, and I would never try to break down and rebuild something that already works. My style is suited for helping players improve within the framework of the swing and game they’ve already developed over a long period. Some coaches prefer to teach the same swing and give all lessons based on their success teaching that swing. Good players know their current weaknesses relative to the other parts of their game, and they know where strokes are lost. I’ll help you attack those as your next best opportunity to get strokes back and lower your handicap even more.
As a follow-up to each lesson, you will receive an email from me with 2-3 focus items and relevant insights from the shot data and video analysis. You will also receive the TrackMan 4 report by email, which details every shot of the session. This report includes the critical “golf swing” metrics such as Club Path, Clubface Angle, Face-to-Path Angle, Attack Angle, Low Point Distance, Launch Angle, Dynamic Loft, and Spin Rate.
