 One on One Private Instruction
In the game of golf all skill are not created equally. First and foremost, a player must achieve a consistent point of impact to achieve optimal ball control. This specifically applies to driving the ball in play, hitting greens in regulation, control of distance and direction in putting, chipping and pitching.

As your coach, I will help you determine which skills are lacking and costing you the most strokes. This will be done using skills assessments and adopting skill-set handicaps relative to your overall handicap. From this analysis, Steve will facilitate the learning process and with your input, set realistic goals for learning and performance. These goals will be directly tied to the player’s time commitment and ability.
