Teaching Philosophy

The goal for players is to make golf simple. Golf is the most individual of games. No two swings are exactly the same. The golf swing should be designed to help get the most from your body type and other physical characteristics or limitations.

Three Basic Swing Principles

  1. Control the angle that the club face returns to impact combined with solid contact.
  2. Control the path of the club head.
  3. Maximize the speed of the golf club to create an effective swinging motion.

Remember! Key fundamentals make golf easier and fun!

Our Teaching Process

Here at the Golf Club at Cedar Creek we do not just teach you to swing the club correctly, we are fully equipped to help you in all parts of the game including club fitting, full swing, putting, sand game, on course strategy and a complete formulation of a game plan to help each student reach their specific needs.  We would like to say we have reinvented the wheel! However, the golf swing has not changed a great deal over the years. What has changed is the understanding of fine mechanics, biomechanics, golf exercise, equipment and equipment fitting, and video analysis. It is much easier today through a variety of techniques and analysis to detail a specific plan for each student to enhance their golf swing and mental attitude.

There are many ways to swing the golf club and play the game efficiently. We do not generally believe in one method or exact teaching system. Fad teaching is a myth and good solid fine mechanics are much more efficient over the long term. Whether you are a tournament player trying to elevate to that next level with fine mechanics or a recreational player out to enjoy your hobby to the fullest, our golf professionals will develop through a variety of techniques and analysis a program to suit each individuals needs. We have found that golfers respond best to good basic mechanics, re-sequencing and simplification of the golf swing. Determination and a strong will with the drive to practice and play will elevate students to long term improvement.
