PAT GORMAN PHILOSOPHY
TO BETTER GOLF:

Congratulations for taking the first big step toward improving your golf game!

The simple truth about golf is, no matter what your age, ability, or the kind of equipment you purchase, the only real way to receive long-term improvement & added enjoyment is from qualified instruction.

There isn’t a golfer around who wouldn’t mind making their game a little better. Whatever your level of commitment to the game, I know how to enhance your enjoyment through reinforcing the basic fundamentals of the game. The fundamentals, the key components found in all good ball-strikers, have been around for over 150 years. In my constant pursuit to help students learn these fundamentals quicker yet simply, I have selected a wonderful assortment of learning aides that I have found to be the best. These aides, which complement my teaching philosophy, combine the ideas that have been handed down since the early 1900’s with the latest in video and computer technology for a truly great learning experience.

As the saying goes, “golf is a game of misses.” I want you to become your own best coach. When you’re out on the course and shots start to veer off target, I want you to be able to evaluate the problem and then apply the proper solution. This, my friends, adds a great deal of enjoyment and satisfaction to playing better golf!

Practice-this is a must! If you are serious about shooting consistently lower scores, you must set time aside to work on your techniques and hone your skills. It is no different than setting time aside to exercise regularly to stay healthy and feel better. I will say however, that to improve your technique, the road may start off a bit bumpy and the ride can be a little uncomfortable at first. This is a very normal and natural progression in your travels to a better golf game. I simply ask that you be very patient with yourself because the initial bumps incurred will be well worth the smooth ride later on!

My 20+ years of teaching and coaching all levels of golfers will help put you on the road to better golf.

Now let’s take the second step together!

GOLF INSTRUCTION PROGRAM DETAILS:

All participants will receive a student workbook, USGA rules book and 15% off coupon for golf shop merchandise. The Pat Gorman Academy uses the V1 computer software program for swing analysis -- this is the same software used by Butch Harmon and many other top teachers in the country.

ONE DAY PROGRAMS:

This two-hour program is designed exclusively for couples who are staying on property at the world-renowned Sundara Spa! A super way to break up the day and make those body treatments feel that much better! Each golfer will learn which fundamentals they need to practice in order to hit more quality golf shots. The main focus during the two-hours will be on the full swing and scoring game shots including state of the art video analysis for each person.

For the golfer who wants an intensive lesson/coaching session and wants to work at it like a tour player! Here you pick any area of the game to focus on or combine different areas of the game. For example, you can tailor the two hours as follows: spend one hour on the full swing, 30 minutes on putting and 30 minutes on bunker play. This can be a personal lesson or taught with two students per instructor. If there are two students, each would pay 75% of the regular rate. Video analysis will be used on the teaching tee to give the student instant feedback.

This is perfect for the family who wants to learn and play better golf together. This program features four hours of instruction as follows: one hour on the long game, one hour on putting and pitching and two hours on-course working on strategy and using a consistent physical and mental pre-shot routine. Each Parent/Child will receive a memorable photograph of the academy experience along with a swing analysis sent to them via their email. There is a student to instructor ratio of 4:1. Lunch included.

This is four hours of instruction at your choosing. Decide from either the long game, scoring game or strategy game.
