Level 1 is for beginners here we learn the a basic set up so they can start hitting some shots and start enjoying the feeling of playing golf and having fun ,in some cases I use tennis balls instead of golf balls which makes it easier to start hitting shots and grows the confidence.no swing thoughts just let them hit some balls at this stage .
Level 2 Here we start working on the swing again nothing too technical more set up work ball position and a few simple swing thoughts like swing back and swing through and more work on the grip and alignment and how to transfer the weight and finish the swing and we start going to the golf course to play a few holes and start learning about etiquette and how to be safe while on the course and enjoy playing.
Level 3. Here is where we start learning the kids more in one on one sessions starting to learn them about the swing mechanics and start using video cameras to let them see their swing and where we need to improve to start taking their games to the next level and start them playing in the junior club competitions and learn about competitive golf and show them some good practice drills to start honing their skills
Level 4 This is the group who have progressed through the ranks and are now playing golf in competitions and have handicaps and are improving rapidly .This group are taught both in group sessions and one on one sessions ,the practice sessions are designed to test them in all parts of their game .We use video cameras ,launch monitors and in the winter we use an indoor training facility complete with a simulator to work on all aspects of their game .
