aboutGolf Simulator –

I can set up any golf course on my simulator to play holes from inside 100 yards. I encourage all my students to learn how to hit their wedges the proper distance by playing a round on the simulator. During play I have the opportunity to teach them how to flight their wedges and control their distance.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
aboutGolf Simulator –

As a Coach and Teacher, I felt this investment in my business was needed as it allows me to provide the best in teaching and coaching to my students 12 months out of the year. With over 80 golf courses to choose from, the simulator has been a powerful tool, providing the ability to take my students from the range to the golf course in a matter of minutes. Now I can create real life situations and challenge them to not only know how to swing, chip or putt, but also to really play the game. It is amazing how much faster my students become better players as a result of this technology.
With the addition of the simulator, I have been producing high-quality education and instruction videos for years now, and the creation of Transformation Golf has become a reality.
Whether it’s tips for GOLF.com, Transformation Golf, the PGA of America, Inside Golf TV or a Best Practice video for PGA Magazine and the GRAA, the studio is ready for filming 24-7 all year long. This powerful tool has given us the opportunity to provide instruction and coaching to golfers all over the world.
