We are lucky to announce that we have 5 students who played their way through the Local Qualifying of the U.S. Open and are now headed to Sectional Qualifying. Once through that stage, they'll be playing on the big stage at The Olympic Club in June.
Many people contact us and say what makes us different from other golf teachers or academies in town. Here at our golf academy we like to coach across all levels of mastery. That means that we work with students on (1) Understanding what they're doing and what they need to do to gain better ball control ... improved mechanics to better move the ball from Point A to Point B (2) Intentional Practice: we expect them to practice and work on their game in the same manner in which we did during the lesson ... this means using a drill, training aid, mirror, or supervised practice all in a focused state (3) Transfer Practice: this is practice that simulates play or better yet, it is practice that is more difficult than what is experienced during play ... this is the bridge between practice and play and is a big part of what scratchgolfer.org is all about (4) Play: we spend a fair amount of time with our students on the course coaching them through situations, measuring risk-reward, making sound decisions, managing themselves and their game.
It's a process that has really developed some outstanding players here in our region but it does take dedication. For those who are truly dedicated this sort of plan will help you excel. Talk to someone in your area to see about taking on a similar approach. And if you don't have the time needed then spend more time working on steps 3 and 4 with a coach - you can get better simply by practicing in the Transfer mode and learning some helpful on-course tactics.
Enjoy,
