Private Lessons can be an essential piece of a juniors development. The golf swing is a very complex motor pattern, and private lessons can give the coach one on one time to reinforce what material presented in class or to cover a new area. The coaches can then provide additional feedback during the weekly classes and supervised practice as well that supplement the private lessons.

Where do private lessons f i t into the mix?

Private lessons are essential for players serious about getting better, but group training is incredibly important for the juniors to learn and compete with other junior golfers. The group environment is where the junior can test his skil ls, make new friends and develop a love for the game!

Why shouldn't we only do private lessons?

The foundation of the DiscoverGolf training system is the education and golf development that our students gain through their weekly group training sessions. However, to best augment these effects we offer supervised practice as a compliment to many of our programs to assist our juniors cement concepts learned during more formal training sessions. "Learning how to learn" i.e., understanding how to create effective self-learning conditions is a foundational concept within our curriculum and something we can address with the task constraints of our supervised training sessions.

Unprecedented Coaching Support

24/7 Discovery

Acquiring the skil ls necessary to play golf is a process that requires both the guidance of an expert coach and dedicated, focused resolve of the student. To bridge this divide we created the DiscoverGolf app, an interactive coaching portal that allows our staff and student to collaborate on the exact procedures and protocols necessary for achieving short and long-term goals.

For the 2018 season, we will be extending these concepts one step further by having the

practice environment (driving range, putting green, and short game) dynamically evolving

to meet the specif ic requirements of coach prescribed games/ dril ls/ challenges. (If you

notice poles, cones, and target configurations, please note that they are serving as

feedback for a DiscoverGolf student's deliberate practice session. )

The coach- student collaboration is at the heart of DiscoverGolf. Every

student will have custom challenges sent to their account that address the

goals they have selected and the f iner details of specif ic coaching

interventions.

The DiscoverGolf app is the ultimate communication platform between

coach and student.

Parents can keep up with all of the action with their own account!
