Discovery Golf Academy

Love to golf but want to lower your score? Then this program is for you! The basis of our method and the goal for this advanced level of instruction is that each student learns how and why things happen in their golf swing. The instruction focuses on the correction of individual swing faults and builds swings that can be executed on the golf course by your new found knowledge through our program. Much of the program teaching is based around the ball flight patterns and a sound consistent means to identify personal swing habits. Instruction will also concentrate on key positions of the full swing. The use of video, television, and swing monitors are visual means of communication between you and the instructor. The various swing habits, both good and bad, are captured and detailed through the use of still-framed sequence pictures and full-motion golf swings on video tape. Video and monitors will be used in the classes and personal swing keys will be noted by your golf instructor in your program notebook.

 

Discovery Golf Academy focuses on:

  • Exercises for warm-up & flexibility
  • Concepts and principles of the full swing
  • Swing faults and corrections
  • Perfecting the short game
  • The psychology of scoring
  • Course and game management
  • Specialty shots
  • How to practice - charting your game

 

Discovery Golf Academy students receive:

  • Professional instruction
  • Range balls with classes
  • 6 hours of instruction
  • Video swing analysis
  • Special play and range discounts
