That lesson left me energized, and Shane’s patience and depth stood out, really grounding my swing details in solid feel. The highlight landed, and I’m eager to build on it while continuing to learn and improve. If you’re deciding, a quick nudge toward booking again could pay off.

We were really impressed by Shane’s clear verbal guidance that kept us focused on maintaining the right grip and posture, which made a big difference in consistency. The continuous feedback helped my son and I stay on track throughout the lesson.

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonThe first lesson is all about comfort and confidence. We’ll start with an introduction to the basics — grip, stance, and posture — then move into simple contact drills to get you striking the ball. I’ll also explain golf terminology, practice habits, and set realistic goals so you know exactly what to expect on your journey.

How it works

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonIn the first lesson, I evaluate the player’s current skill level through a full-swing, short game, and putting assessment. We’ll establish baseline data with launch monitor metrics, discuss the player’s goals, and identify key priority areas for improvement. The focus is on building trust, setting expectations, and creating a customized development roadmap.

Lesson 11+Now the focus is on peak performance. Players can expect tournament-style preparation, advanced practice structures, and detailed statistical tracking to measure improvement. Lessons include strategy planning for competitive rounds, pressure training, and fine-tuning swing adjustments for maximum efficiency. Each session builds toward making the golfer self-sufficient in diagnosing their own swing and performing at a high level under competition conditions.

Lesson 4-10The emphasis shifts to advanced mechanics, course management, and mental performance. Players work on shaping shots, controlling trajectory, and managing distance gaps. Short game practice expands to bunker play, wedge distance control, and lag putting. On-course sessions may be introduced to simulate pressure situations and decision-making. Consistency, repetition, and building reliable routines are the main priorities during this phase.

Lesson 2-3These lessons focus on building strong fundamentals. We’ll address grip, posture, alignment, and balance, while working on swing sequencing and contact consistency. Short game practice (chipping and pitching) is introduced to highlight scoring importance. Players can expect drills tailored to their weaknesses and video feedback to see early progress

Youth players

Working with kidsWhen working with kids, I keep lessons fun, engaging, and simple by using games, visual aids, and short activities to hold their attention. I focus on building confidence and celebrating small wins so they stay motivated. I also adapt my communication style by using clear, easy-to-understand language and keeping the learning environment positive and encouraging.

Working with teenagersWith teenagers, I make lessons more interactive and relatable to their interests, while still keeping structure and goals in place. I encourage independence and let them take ownership of their progress, but also provide clear feedback and guidance. I focus on building trust and respect so they feel comfortable asking questions, while also challenging them to grow and push themselves.
