Lessons are available for adult beginners, juniors (under 16), seniors, intermediates and anyone wanting to improve and have fun. Get in touch with Jay.

Golf Swing Instruction:
Most of my students tell me “I just want to be consistent.” Unfortunately, golf is a game of inconsistency for everyone, you just need to learn how to manage it. Consistency has three components: contact, distance and direction. Of those, contact is the most important. Let’s build a swing that starts with solid contact.

Adult private lessons: 45 minutes - $65
Junior private lessons: 45 minutes - $50 
Group lessons also available. Contact for details.

Golf Playing Instruction:
Swing instruction is necessary but how do we transition to the golf course?  Whether you are a beginner or a mid-handicapper we need to move to the golf course where the fun really begins.  Playing instruction takes you through full swing to putting and course management.  Calm your fears and play some solid golf!

Adult lessons: 4 lessons, 45 minutes each - $240 
Junior lessons: 4 lessons, 45 minutes each - $180

Short Game Instruction:
We are never going to score better if we don’t have a short game. The fastest way to improve scoring is through short game technique and practice. Let’s turn double bogies to bogies and bogies to pars. Double chipping and three putting are the fastest ways to ruin a good round and damage your confidence.
