Lessons at The Back Nine
One-hour lessons with a PGA Associate on the same simulator brand Tiger Woods uses. Every swing measured, and a plan you can actually follow.
New students
The full hour on a Full Swing simulator with Carmen, at a first-timer's price. It's for new students only, and you set it up by text so Carmen can match you with a time and a bay.
Here's how the hour goes, start to finish.
The first 15 minutes are yours to loosen up and hit a few balls on the simulator.
Carmen watches your swing, reads the numbers on the Full Swing screen and captures it in 3D with Sportsbox, so you both see what is happening.
The next 45 minutes are coaching: one or two changes, practiced until they feel normal.
You leave with drills to work on before the next lesson. Buy a pack after your first lesson and Carmen maps out a plan at your second.
Single lessons and packs of 3 or 5, at member, non-member and youth rates.
Three one-hour lessons
Five one-hour lessons

First lesson and it was like Carmen knew what I needed instantly. Felt comfortable and he had me going in the right direction in fifteen minutes!
Absolutely blown away from the driver fitting i got from Carmen and his golf knowledge, kindness and understanding. I will be a customer for life! I gained over 30 yards and I've been golfing for 25 years and never seen such a jump. Carmen knows his stuff, 1000% recommend anyone just go get fitted here by Carmen! You won't regret it
