Tee Shot BG Coaching Class using our 3D App
March 23
Saturday 4-5
Limited to 4 players
Cost: $100
Hosted by Director of Instruction Coach Bocking
This class is designed to help you hit more fairways with the Driver to give you the best opportunity to shoot lower scores!  Most often I see players that hurt their chances of being a good driver of the golf ball just by creating poor setups! We will be using 3D to measure your setup and movement patterns in this track. Do you struggle slicing the driver?  Are you inconsistent with your strikes? Hitting it high on the face?  Too much spin on the golf ball? Banana ball?  Low off the face? Toe or heel strike?  These are the questions that will be answered in this class. This track will have you driving the golf ball with confidence and shooting lower scores!  Space is limited to the first 4 participants!  Drive it better in 2023! Sign up at cbocking@theledges.com.

I get players all the time that come to me with struggles on the greens and they are aiming the putter 2-3 degrees left or right from the intended target line.  Are you putting with a putter you can aim consistently and that gives you the best chance to hole more putts?  Are you in the correct putter length?  How does eye dominance factor into putting? These are just a few of the questions we will answer in this class.  Hole more putts by simply aiming the putter where you would like the ball to start!
