Charles has been teaching golf for over 20 years.
First, its important to really understand each student as an individual. We ask new students to please fill out the new student questionnaire. Next, we look at how the golfer moves from an athletic standpoint and do our best to help transfer any learned athletic motion that correlates to a biomechanically sound golf swing.
Pre-swing fundamentals help us to put the golfer in a ready state in order for optimal athletic movement. We incorporate process orientated practices plans to help build strong patterns that creates the unconscious athletic golf swing the tour professionals posses. Our 2-1-Go Protocols are process orientated so the golfer can build or create a new motor pattern between body and brain.
We build you up so you can own your motion and own your game!
