How Our Lessons Are Different

Anyone should expect courtesy and competence from a golf teacher, and you will find that here as well as with most other good instructors.

We believe that a good golf instructor should be able to see a golfer's swing and ball flight, and almost immediately notice major problem areas in the students' swing. The instructor then should be able to formulate a plan for improvement and present it in a way that allows the golfer to understand what needs to be done.

Students that opt for any Fundamental lesson or Fundamental lesson package receive lesson notes prior to each lesson so that they can review what will be covered in the lesson ahead of time. My students have told me that having the information beforehand greatly helps them relate to the drills when we actually do them at the lesson. I also send a brief follow up "lesson comments" email to give the student feedback on what we covered.

Students really appreciate this feature because it reinforces what we've gone over during the lesson and addresses specific strengths and weaknesses.

Who Should Take Lessons

Anyone, young or old, beginner or experienced, that wants to increase their skill level and enjoy the game more should try lessons. Lessons are for anyone that wants to learn, not just elite golfers. If a student wants to learn, I want to teach.  I guarantee that students will feel comfortable during the lessons regardless of gender, race, or social status. I'm not big on band-aid fixes for swing problems. Just as you can't construct additional floors onto a building with a faulty foundation, you can't fix a swing that has a bad foundation either. You will learn the type of swing that is optimal for your body type and personality. Everyone is different; there is no "one swing fits all" in golf.



What To Expect From Your Lessons

First of all, you will be taught the optimal swing method for your personal attributes. Regardless of whether you opt for the Fundamentals 3 Lesson Package or Private Lessons, we will determine what type of swing method best suits your physique and personality and proceed accordingly.

If you are a beginner, or if you have been playing for a while without much success, you should probably start with the Fundamentals 3 Lesson Package. After you have completed all of the lessons, you should see dramatic improvement in your short game - putting and chipping - and you should have a good idea of what type of full swing method is best for you. You will learn the short swings - putting and chipping - faster than the full swing technique, simply because there are fewer moving parts. The full swing requires more practice to become proficient. You will be taught correct technique, and you will learn drills to help you to continue to practice correctly. After that, more correct practice breeds more success.

If you are a more accomplished golfer, you will probably opt for Private Lessons. In this type of lesson, we usually identify areas of your game or swing that need improvement and proceed accordingly. At the conclusion of a private lesson, the student and I will have identified what needs work, and the student will have a good grasp of what he or she needs to do to improve.

Students that take private lessons should be those persons that are committed to improving their game and that are willing to spend the time to do so. It takes repetitions to build a good swing, and it's a process that requires recurring practice. It doesn't necessarily involve going to the range to hit balls every day, but it will require repetitive practice of movements on a regular basis. That's the only way that real, lasting improvement can be realized.

We will work on segments of your swing then put it all together for a finished product. Improvement doesn't happen overnight, it's a process - but it's a process that will last and allow you to develop a swing that you can repeat.

Gift Certificates

Contact Tom Tucker by email at ttucker@rochester.rr.com

I'll gather the necessary details from you then I'll send you an email telling the recipient that he or she has received a gift of golf lessons from you. Then you print out the email, place it in a gift card, and present it to the recipient.

Payment is due when the student books the lesson, not before. That way you don't have to worry about paying for something that's never used.
