I’ll ask you what you would like to fix. We’ll discuss the root cause and then discuss the best plan of action to eliminate bad habits you may have going forward.

Lesson 1: Advanced Evaluation & Precision Tuning (60 Minutes) Objective: Assess strengths/weaknesses, tighten mechanics, and tailor a progression plan based on performance goals. ⸻ 1. Warm-Up & Intentional Practice (10 min) • Dynamic warm-up with mobility focus • Hit 10–15 balls with wedge and 7-iron while coach observes • Ask: “What’s the current miss? What’s your goal for this season?” ⸻ 2. Full Swing Assessment (15 min) • Video analysis or live feedback • Look at: • Club path vs. face angle • Ball flight tendencies • Transition tempo and lower body sequencing • Focus on one key adjustment (not overhaul) ⸻ 3. Scoring Club Calibration (15 min) • Wedge distances: 50–120 yards • Establish “stock” numbers for 3–4 wedges • Work on trajectory and spin control (TrackMan/launch monitor if available) ⸻ 4. Shot Shaping & Control (10 min) • Hit intentional fades, draws, knockdowns • Introduce flight windows or “stock shapes” for course confidence • Emphasize repeatability under pressure ⸻ 5. Putting Performance Check (5 min) • Assess stroke mechanics and green reading • Lag putt + short putt test • Identify stroke tendencies (pull/push, decel, etc.) ⸻ 6. Debrief & Plan Forward (5 min) • Identify 1–2 technical goals • Set short-term action plan: range reps, drills, practice games • Schedule next lesson with clear theme (e.g., short game scoring, mental prep)

Game play to develop better motor skills

Great question. When working with kids, the key is to simplify, gamify, and engage—while still building real skills. Here’s how to adapt your golf lessons for younger players (roughly ages 5–12): ⸻ Core Principles for Coaching Kids: 1. Make It Fun First • Use games, stories, or challenges (e.g., “hit the alien cone!” or “get out of the sand trap dungeon”) • Celebrate effort, not just results • Keep energy high and the mood light 2. Keep Instructions Simple • One concept at a time (e.g., “Big Y swing” for backswing shape) • Use clear, relatable analogies (“hold it like ice cream,” “feet like train tracks”) • Avoid overloading with mechanics 3. Short Attention Spans = Short Segments • Break lessons into 5–10 minute stations • Alternate between full swings, putting, chipping, and movement-based games 4. Use the Right Equipment • Shorter, lighter clubs (U.S. Kids Golf, SNAG, or junior sets) • Tees and balls they can hit easily • Big targets for instant success 5. Reinforce Success Visually • Use cones, hoops, pool noodles, and color targets • Scorecards with stickers or fun achievements • Build confidence with visible goals (“Can you hit the 10-point zone?”)
