Lesson Information

Thank you for your interest in golf instruction at the National Golf Center. The following is intended to help you understand and prepare for your lessons.

-3 components of score:
1. Full Swing
2. Putting
3. Short Game
At National Golf Center we will work on all 3, in order to reduce your score.  (Includes player evaluation)

- Our teaching philosophy will address all the different components of golf including full swing, putting, sand, specialty shots, short game, mental, physical and equipment. Each of these will impact your score and ultimately your enjoyment of the game. Our philosophy is based on teaching sound fundamentals vs. a quick fix.

- During your lesson a digital swing analysis video/computer system will be utilized to tape your swing. The software will allow your swing to be viewed immediately for observation and discussion. You will also receive written material and printouts to take home.

- Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your lesson time to warm up.

- At the conclusion of each lesson you will receive a coupon toward your next bucket of range balls.

- Our expanded grass tees and sand trap will open as soon as the weather permits.

- For your lessons please wear shorts (if possible) golf shoes/tennis shoes and bring your putter, 9 iron, 6 iron and 1 wood.

- We ask that each student complete a 2 page golfer profile, which is available at the counter, prior to your first lesson

- Because cell phones can be a distraction, we ask that you please silence your phone during your lesson.

- Our staff at the National Golf Center looks forward to working with you and helping you to achieve your goals.

Commonly asked questions about lessons

- How does a student prepare between lessons?

Review written notes and computer printouts. Practice at home following your instructors suggestions. In some cases teaching / learning aides may be suggested (i.e. Mirrors, balance disks, heavy club etc.). Slow motion drills are critical for improvement. Keep a written log of what you are doing during practice. If you play, keep a written summary of putts and any trends good or bad.

- How much should I practice?

That will be discussed between you and your instructor. Please provide input in terms of what is realistic based on your schedule. Remember small doses of practice are extremely valuable. As your endurance (mental and physical) increases more practice will gradually become necessary. Quality practice is more important than large quantities of poor practice.

- What else can I do to help my long term progress?

Consider a golf stretching and strengthening program. I am able to provide three excellent sport specific programs and trainers. Check the conditions of your grips. Based on usage your grips should be cleaned twice during the summer and regripped every two years. Putt at home (focus on the score saving range, 2-6 foot).
Check the loft on your driver. Consider adding some type of hybrid club. Also consider adding a gap wedge and check the loft and bounce angles on your sand wedge.

- How many lessons should I take?

Until we meet and discuss where you are at, this question is nearly impossible to answer honestly.

- Can we before our first lesson meet to have a consultation?

Yes, I feel that gives an opportunity for us to understand who we are and answer some additional questions you may have.

- What is the first step(s)?

Set up our first lesson.  Complete the golfer profile. 
We look forward to working with and helping you to improve your game.
