TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

At The Golf Academy, we know that golfers want to start hitting more quality shots and posting lower scores. That’s why we have designed a performance-based curriculum. We will build your game, your understanding and your confidence so that you can produce immediate and lasting results. Results you can see on the scorecard.

We start by evaluating each golfer’s game to determine their strengths and weaknesses. Then a complete improvement plan is customized to the needs of each individual. And we take the time to get your input, so that we’re sure the game improvement plan makes sense to you and your commitment level.
