Book Private Golf Lessons with Coach Jerry

I’ve been passionate about golf since I first picked up a club at three years old, and I began playing competitively at eight. By fourteen, I was already sharing my love for the game by providing lessons. My dedication to the sport earned me a scholarship to an international golf academy on Hilton Head Island, SC, where I refined my techniques and developed a deep understanding of the mental side of golf. I’ve continued that journey by studying sports psychology and neuroscience, reading over 35 books to better understand how mindset impacts performance, especially in Golf.

I’ve competed at the University of Tampa, Grand Rapids Community College, and for Clemson University’s club golf team, gaining firsthand experience at multiple levels of competitive play. As a coach, I’m passionate about helping golfers improve their skills, develop confidence, and enjoy the process. Whether you’re striving to play competitively or simply want to elevate your game, I aim to provide the knowledge, support, and perspective to help you reach your goals—on and off the course. My lessons are tailor made to your needs. I will always provide you an organized follow-up PDF with your before and after videos, everything we worked on, and training options for you to master the skill before our next lesson.

I have experience working with players of all skill levels. From gripping a golf club for the very first time to current professional golfers. My lessons are tailor made to your game. My clients have enjoyed great success in the sport and have all continued to schedule additional lessons with me. The techniques that I have mastered over 22 years have not come without challenges. I have first hand experience with creative problem solving in my own swing mechanics. In addition to this, I have extensive experience with the mental side of the sport. I began by reading a sports psychology book that my swing coach gave me when I was 15 years old. Since then I have read 35 sports psychology and neuroscience books in an effort to understand every aspect of this difficult sport. I am confident that I will improve your game in more ways than one.

- 10 minute background of client's game.

- 20 minute 7 iron swing analysis.

I will take videos Down-The-Line and Face-On. I will then take 5 minutes to show you these "before videos". I will provide you side by side video footage that I have drawn various coaching lines/aids over.

- I will then take you through the steps to make the necessary swing change.

Once you have mastered this swing change, I will conclude the lesson by taking the "after videos". These videos will be included in the lesson followup that I provide clients. I will send you side-by-sides of the before and after videos, along with an organized summary of what we worked on, and provide you practice techniques to work on prior to our next lesson.
