Core Skills Development

Ball Control Skills

Ability to control the direction, distance and trajectory of a golf ball when hit with a selected club.

Committing to a course of action that is intended to yield results that are satisfying to you.

The Development Process

Step #1: Understand Cause and Effect

Here is where we look at your game and identify strengths and weaknesses. We identify areas of your game that will aid in shooting lower scores. More importantly, I will provide you with clear concepts of what needs to be learned and trained.

Step #2: Supervised Training Sessions

Players who participate in supervised practice sessions play better golf. Bottom line they get better. Golf is a game consisting of motor skills that must be trained properly to increase performance. A player cannot expect to improve without deliberate practice sessions. To see improvement in your skills you must also be receiving feedback and knowledge about your results. The time spent in a supervised practice sessions is organized and targeted towards your game and the desired results. As your coach I am there to setup the learning environment and provide effective feedback and coaching. Practice sessions are always fun, engaging and provide confidence to the player.

Step #3: Transfer Skills to the Golf Course

Congratulations! If you make it to step 3 you are in better shape than most golfers. Skipping this step in the process is why the majority golfers have a challenging time transferring their game from the driving range to the golf course. Transfer training is the process of applying pressure to a skill and training the skill to be transferred to a variety of playing conditions. Practice like you play and you can maximize your on-course performance.

Step #4: Playing golf with Karen

On course playing sessions are one of my favorite things to do with students. During a playing session I can view first-hand how the player is managing their emotions and behaviors on the golf course and whether their decision-making skills are affecting their performance. This is the final stage of the skill development process and is critical for any player looking to lower their scores and increase their performance level. Playing sessions are also a terrific opportunity to see what skills may be breaking down under pressure and if mental interference is affecting performance.
