On course instruction allows me to see firsthand a student's playing and decision making skills on the course. It is the natural place to work on course management, strategy, recovery play and trouble shots such as playing from uneven lies. Being on the course is also the best place to work on pre and post shot routines and learn how to take your swing changes to the course.
The on-course sessions are tailored to the specific needs of the individual so that players of all levels can benefit from this type of instruction.
The Fleming 9-Hole Course at Harding Park offers an excellent venue for on-course instruction. With the same conditioning as the championship course, it has three - four holes that require a driver or fairway wood from the tee and several really great par 3's. The small greens provide a great challenge that will test all parts of your game.
