Our philosophy in golf schools is that we don’t teach a strict method. However, we do have a strict system of how we teach. The system is unique—there’s room for individual differences, and our teachers are encouraged to use their creativity. Everybody is built differently; there are many ways to make a golf swing and play well. We keep the basic fundamentals in mind: body motion and club action.
Outside those corridors, virtually nobody has succeeded. We recommend immediate change for super-poor body positioning or an off-plane downswing. In that sense, we do have a system, and you could fairly classify us as system teachers.
Consistency & Clarity
From Ken Venturi we learned the power of consistency. Visit any of our teachers and you’ll get the same fundamentals and concepts, year after year. A clear system provides consistency for students—far better than constantly changing messages, which creates confusion and erodes confidence.
Room for Individuality
We’ve taught this system since 1985. Our schools operate in a consistent pattern, but we judge each player individually and give the help most likely to lead to improvement. Many elements help every golfer: golf-specific stretching, body drills without a club to build awareness, and mastering setup and alignment (“the universal fundamental”). Correct grip pressure and low tension are critical to a smooth, effective swing.
3 Steps to Improvement
- What am I doing now? Be honest about today’s motion—use video from your phone.
- What should I do instead? Identify the correct motion that fixes your flaws.
- How do I make the change? Use our concepts, drills, and coaching to implement it.
In lessons we first listen and watch you swing, then quickly size up strengths and weaknesses across the entire game—often starting somewhere other than the long game. That’s total-game teaching.
The 25% Theory
The cornerstone of our schools is the 25% Theory: the game divides into four equal, essential parts.
- The Long Game (full swing / ball-striking)
- The Short Game (100 yds & in for better players; 75 yds & in for mid/high—putting, chipping, pitching, bunker)
- Course Management (planning, routines, smart targets, playing to strengths)
- Mental/Emotional Game (focus, composure, taking your range game to the course)
To play tournament golf, you must be strong in at least three of the four—and the great players are great in all four. Most golfers over-invest in the long game and under-invest in management and mental skills, even though those often reduce scores the most.
Total-Game Teaching
Every lesson addresses the areas that will move your score the fastest. We analyze body and club positions, identify “death moves” (patterns far outside the corridors of success), and correct them immediately. Our goal is to give you a solid, repeatable foundation while preserving your natural athletic DNA.
