About Novice Lessons
As a golf novice who regularly scores between 90-100:
- You make good shots every round, but you are not certain as to what you did to create them.
- Similarly, bad shots are sometimes a surprise because it seemed like you were doing things correctly.
The learning approach you’ll need for improvement:
- Good shots and bad shots have one thing in common, you are not absolutely certain as to what you did to produce them.
- You try different things but nothing works 100%. You want clarity about what you should do to produce good shots.
- Improvement will occur when you have clarity about what to do that will reliably produce a good shot.
Why you should choose Heartland:
- Relief will probably best describe your reaction to our three-day improvement program. Unnecessarily complicated ideas about the game and contradictory golf tips have kept you from playing the game you think you are capable of. Learning that each shot from tee-to-green shares common fundamentals with the other shots makes the game simpler and easier to play well.
- Our novice golf program means you’ll get the results you want from personalized, one-on-one instruction.

Daily Agenda
Day 1
–Morning
We get to know you and discuss your ideas about the golf swing.
Our first golf instruction session is devoted to swing principles that are common to all shots. We then begin to apply these principles to your putting stroke. Players find their putting improves immediately.
–Afternoon
In the afternoon we enlarge the swing from putting to chipping. The session begins with a presentation on setup and grip.
Players discover that their chipping improves almost immediately as they realize they are applying the same swing principles they used in putting. Putting and chipping become seamless with the only significant difference being the size of the swing.
The day concludes with a return to the classroom where, with the assistance of their golf coach, players record key golf lessons from the day in their Learning Log. This written record both aids in making the learning experience more impactful but is also an invaluable reference for practicing in the days following this 3-day program.
Day 2
–Morning
We begin with a recap of Day 1. Your progress from the first day is reinforced as your coach takes you through drills and provides golf instruction feedback for your improvement.
–Afternoon
In the afternoon, we again increase the length of the swing’s arc to achieve a full swing. Player’s find again that the fundamentals learned for putting and chipping are common to the full swing. They experience the consistency and seamless quality developing in their game. The swing becomes simpler and shots improve.

Day 3

We return to the practice tee to reinforce the prior day’s lesson on full swing. Players now experience how that swing applies to all the irons and woods.
–Afternoon
By this point, players have learned to produce an effective swing that allows them to control the direction of both their putts and approach shots. This block of instruction now addresses reading greens, distance control, and bunkers.
