If we are meeting at Newport Beach Country Club, we are going on the golf course. We will play nine holes and assess your golf game. All lessons will be done on the course with a few exceptions. We have learned over time that to play better golf we must learn and practice where we play. We will coach you how to lower scores guaranteed.If we are meeting at the indoor Studio - AA Golf Academy, we will use the GC QUAD by Foresight Sports during the lesson. This is an accurate launch monitor that gives the player exact feedback on what the club and ball are doing during the golf swing. It measures the following:Club Data Clubhead Speed Smash Factor Angle of Attack Club Path Face Angle Loft and Lie at Impact Impact location on the Club Face Ball Data Horizontal and vertical launch angles Spin Side Spin Carry Distance,My Approach - We always start with a Body Assessment by one of the therapists. We will talk about what your gaols would be and what it may take to reach those goals. After that it's time to hit some shots, make corrections and use the launch monitor as a guide for feedback on the swing. We may also use swing aids, drills, visual demonstration, reading assignments, or video analysis to assist with making improvement faster.
