Major Golf Lesson

Have you ever bought shoes without knowing your shoe size? I wouldn’t think so. You shouldn’t purchase golf clubs that don’t fit your body type, mechanics and temperament, either.

My goal at club fitting is to provide my students with the best model and custom club specifications so they can increase performance through accuracy, distance control and shot making ability.

Bite
(aka: “check” or “sit” or “sit down”) The result of backspin when the ball lands on the green. Players yell ‘bite’ (or ‘hold’ or ’sit’ or ‘hit a house’) when they want the ball to stop quickly. Most often used on an approach shot. [...]
