About your golf coach

I don't teach on golf on practice range. It's a waste of time because a mat or a level fluffy lie on a golf range is not what you will encounter on golf course. Chipping. Pitching, putting and 100 yards in will determine your practice needs- this is where you score lower or continie to fail.I have seen thousands of swings being a caddy and golf coach and one thing for sure is golf is missing agreed upon universal fundamentals. The PGA has failed for 30 yrs+ with novice players getting worse in 2025. I teach the Jim Venetos universal golf swing concept for newcomers or someone who can manage timing, sequence and body manipulation (see the attached vid in profile) it works for beginners to scratch golfers especially great for seniors. Commitment to golf instruction extends well beyond the range. I have a professional caddie background that enhances golf management skills in a fun way to score well on any course. Utilizing Jim Venetos' teaching methods, the focus is on simplicity, injury prevention, and playing from a closed, weight forward, setup position (different from stack and tilt). I practice and play rounds with two clubs a 3 wood and pitching wedge 48 degree what I learned over the years is how these levers works, club face awareness - what my misses tell me and stillness, strong core and maintaining a position setup will make you more consistent. If you play the appropriate tee boxes and have a 150-240 yd drive you can lower your scores. This doesn't mean hit more dull shots on a golf range means playing more golf and practicing more chips, pitches, putts and 100 yard shots in.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson is chip, pitch, putt* maybe 3/4 swing with the proper setup. If you want to skip this because you CAN hit a driver 175 yards min, chip 10 balls 30 ft away to 3ft or less feet from hole AND make five 3 ft putts in a row then that would be a good test if you're ready for the golf course. Then go to package #2. We don't talk about nonsense movements i.e. weight shift, wrist cock nonsense, and all the other hard timing PGA instruction that is very hard and time consuming for most. I recommend you check some or ALL of Jim Venetos videos out on YouTube. My personality and tone is just like Jim's Venetos . I don't do range testing. Range lessons are terrible for golf instruction, waste of money that could be used on greens fees, the range is not set up for all the obstacles you will be challenged with on the golf course. * The actual field you should be practicing on is a golf course. I recommend the first package #2 on course lesson you being only three clubs 3Wood, a wedge 9 iron, that you can hit 25-110 yards and putter * you can turn a 9iron into a wedge that's it!
Lesson 11+You should not need 11 lessons with any coach or golf instructor. If you want more golf caddie instruction we can do that.
Lesson 4-10Get into putting and the set7up for putting which is using the trail arm properly. Lead arm and trail arm only work one way on a human body. Might be time for a 9 hole par three or par 4 where we take 2 clubs. That's it.
Lesson 2-3Your back for more! Great. Hopefully practicing pitches/wedges and short no more than half swings for at least 3 weeks. Now let's go to the golf course. The cost of greens fees will be your cost responsibility- I will walk or ride 9 holes with you. We will be using two- three clubs wedge, putter and club that one you hit at least 170+ yards. I recommend the seven spring little course very small course under 7,000 yards * evening hours are great. On the course- focus on setup again, ball flight direction with obstacles, ball positioning, ball placement strategy, how to setup scorecard up for mental win, analysing your misses, go to stock shots, can you correct your swing on the course? Hopefully you videoed yourself 5min continuous-face on where I can review the misses. We can skip more short shorts, chips and pitches with wedge or 9iron (this needs to be nailed down) Focus on the other game on the ground. Putting. Which is a separate position and a game on the ground- rolling golf ball..Remember the golf ball range is not the same as an actual course. The more you put yourself in different situations with this swing - uphills, downhill, rough, fairway bunker, thick rough, poor lies and more the confidence and correcting mistakes works. * Vs a range mat and a perfect lie does nothing in the run. After all we are here to play the game of golf not the sport of range golf ball hitting.

Advanced training plan
Your first lessonAdvance training is working on golf management- as a professional caddie I can help to make better decisions on the golf course. Range work is useless. I can look at your setup in a chip/pitch and put an determine where your failing and adding strokes.

What you need to bringβ›³ First lesson needs a 9 iron, pitching wedge or gap wedge that fits you, that's it! And putter bonus . Following lessons are on the golf course. **You pay greens fees. Recommend 9 holes twilight golf most economical. Walking over cart riding. We will only need three clubs for golf course coaching/instruction: putter, wedge, and club you can hit 150 yards on tee, ground.

What I can bringI have a full set of women's and men's golf clubs, various metal woods, putters, wedges that can utilize along with tons of golf balls to putt, chip and take if you need some. * Range balls will be your cost however I don't teach on the range. It starts with a chip, pitch and 1/2 swings and a rage is not needed. Better approach is practice!& On the course the actual place you play golf not on the range. Greens fees and or ride along or walk fees will need to be paid by you in full including teach to lesson feees. Remember most range balls are under compressed causing improper distance and spin measurements. I rather see you use the range costs to play golf then Beat range balls with no purpose. Golf should be practiced on the field you will be playing a range is never like the golf course or even close simulation.
