What stood out most in the lesson was Ben’s ability to clearly identify problem areas and offer simple, practical steps for improvement. His straightforward approach makes it easy to follow and apply. If you’re looking to sharpen your golf skills, Ben’s lessons are definitely worth trying. The session left me feeling confident and ready to improve further.

Ben is extremely knowledgeable, which is great, but in addition he puts it in a language that I understand. He also pulls from my sports history to find movements I am familiar with. This communication make the movements understandable, and very coachable to me. I highly recommend Ben to anyone who is looking to improve their golf game.

Response time was quick and very thorough. He did a good job of explaining why one thing lead to another mistake and pointed out potential long term issues. He sent some drills that he voiced over and explains the most important parts for me to pay attention to.

I am a high handicap golfer…I saw Ben for a fitting and I feel it is probably more of a challenge as high handicappers are anything but consistent. He was incredibly patient and put together a combination that really made a difference.

I’ve had a love hate relationship with golf for many years. I was struggling with my game and realized no matter how many videos I watched, or gadgets I bought, I needed professional help. Thank you Ben Nelson for changing my game.

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonWe always start with an intro to your clubs and which ones do what. We then start on grip, aim, stance, alignment, and posture to try and build a solid foundation to swing from

Lesson 11+We keep working on the impact position until that’s consistent and solid. From that point we’ll start working on curve and power.

Lesson 4-10We’ll just continue to review where you are mentally but also how the swings looking. We’ll review swing video and build from there.

Lesson 2-3Well continue to work on the set up until that’s easy. From that point we’ll start swinging and I’ll explain what the impact position is supposed to look and we work back from there.
