Golf Coaching and golf lessons for all ages and experience

COACHING VS INSTRUCTION

According to research, golfers’ handicaps are not reducing. 

Why is that? There have been great advancements in 

technology, an improved understanding of the science of the human body and HIGH-PERFORMANCE how it functions, and yet there still is little or no change in golf scores.

I believe the answer to this problem is simple; poor learning environments. It's time to change that, and that is the goal of David Banks Golf.

COACHING
A coach oversees the entire learning process - the concept, the instruction, the training, and the game application. This includes physical and mental preparation and development as well as 

goal setting objectives.

TEACHING
A teacher provides and conveys information and transfers knowledge, but the relationship tends to be one-way.

"HOW VS WHAT"
Too often during a learning environment (an instruction/coaching session) the "What to do" tends to be the focus.  

The "How to do it" needs to be the focus. I also prefer to incorporate the “Why to do it”. The "Why" is based on physics and human physiology. Golf is a motor skill where we develop and ingrain movement patterns. Which muscles are involved and "How" to create the movement and ultimately "How" to perform will yield improved patterns and elevated success.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE GOLF COACHING
At David Banks Golf, we are all about and committed to 

High-Performance Golf Coaching yielding

High-Performance Results. 

Assisting you in your development of the necessary skills. Skills to learn, apply, and repeat to become a better golfer.

Conceptual

There are many misconceptions about how to swing the golf 

club and why the ball does what it does.  We make sure that you have a clear understanding of proper concepts. One of the greatest challenges a golfer faces is overcoming the simple fact that they have given themselves the wrong "task". When the brain is given a task it will try to succeed. An achieved incorrect task is still incorrect. When the brain has a better plan the body will do a better job.

Technical

Improved technique assists in improving performance. Understanding "WHAT" to do is important. Learning "HOW" to create those movements is imperative. We help golfers learn "HOW" to improve their technique to become better. 

Physical

  The club moves the ball, but the body moves the club. We work with you to make sure you are physically able and aware of the muscles being used to make the proper movements.

Tactical 
Your ability to transfer your skills to the course and your course management directly affects the outcome of your score. Golf is not just about your skills but how to manage your game around those skills. Learn to take your skill to the course and get the most out of it.

Mental
Athletes need to have a proper mindset and approach to be able to perform at their best. The brain controls the body. The brain can be trained just as the body can and this training will help the golfer perform better.

Equipment
The golf club moves the ball, and your clubs must be suited to enable you to move the ball most effectively. This includes the loft, lie angle, length, weight, and shaft flex. Playing the proper golf ball for your game is also important.
