INSTRUCTION

  • Do your schools include a club evaluation / club fitting?

    Yes, we have a club specialist / fitter who will come to the school and evaluate your clubs to determine if they fit your personal swing shape and physical characteristics. In addition, demo clubs are available for students to try. A traditional club fitting may be arranged by appointment during your stay.

  • Will your instructors go out on the course with us for instruction?

    Instructors will provide a blend of on-course instruction as well as situational practice stations the afternoons that they are providing instruction. Our goal is to help the students transfer swing improvements made at the practice facility to the course.

  • Will the staff tear my swing apart?

    No, our staff prefers to work with the positives you already have while focusing on the one or two swing issues that are impacting your ball-striking and scoring.

  • What materials will we be able to take with us following the school?

    You will receive a link to access video analysis of your full swing (before and after) along with a summary of key swing thoughts that will help you continue your development. In addition, students are encouraged to utilize the supplied Pinehurst Golf Academy Instructional Manual as a tool for instructional notes and suggestions made by the staff.

    All of our instructional staff are members of the PGA of America. In addition, they are all trained and certified as Pinehurst Golf Academy Instructors.
