Private instruction · Pinehurst sandhills

The fastest five
strokes you'll shed
this year.

Swing Line is a one-instructor practice. Lessons run on a private bay at Pine Needles with a full TrackMan unit, two on-course playing-lesson packages a month at Mid Pines, and a junior academy that takes ten kids per cohort — no more.

Technical, on-course, and the head game.

Most students rotate through all three over a season. The full-swing work happens on the bay, the on-course lesson happens at Mid Pines, and the mental work happens over coffee — sometimes all in the same week.

The instructor

Twenty-two years
on this practice tee.

Will Aldridge played four years at Wake Forest, looped on the Korn Ferry tour for two seasons, and has been teaching out of the Pinehurst sandhills since 2003. He's a PGA Class A Master Professional, a TrackMan University level-three instructor, and the only fitter in the region certified on Mizuno, Titleist, and PXG.

Will takes a maximum of fourteen private students per season, plus the junior academy. The waitlist for new students typically reopens in September.

Lesson packages

Buy time with the practice, not by the lesson.

Most students see a meaningful drop somewhere between the fourth and the eighth session. The packages are built around that arc — buy four for a fix, eight to rebuild, twelve to keep going.

Club fitting partnership

The fitter in the next bay.

Swing Line shares a teaching wing with Pine Needles' fitting cart. After the first four lessons, most students realize a club isn't doing what the swing is — and we walk thirty feet over to fix it. No commission. No upsell.

Eight-pack students get a full bag fitting included. Other students pay a flat $295 for a four-club fit, applied to any future purchase.

From students

Notes kept after the lesson.

A few of the things students said after their fourth, eighth, or twelfth session. None solicited.
Will rebuilt my takeaway in three sessions and I went from a 14 to a 9 over the summer. He doesn't talk a lot. He just changes the right thing.
Andrew KetteringEight pack · 2024
The on-course playing lesson at Mid Pines was the best three hours of golf instruction I've ever paid for. He showed me four shots I'd never tried, and now I rely on three of them.
Priya VasanthOn-course · 2023
My son was in the junior academy for two summers. He's now a top-ten ranked junior in the Carolinas. Will is the reason — and so is the fact that he doesn't push the kids.
Marcus WhitlowJunior parent · 2022–24
I came in shooting 92 and I'm shooting 81 in club tournaments. The number I care about is that I enjoy practice now. He fixed that first.

Two openings on the
spring waitlist.

The teaching practice is intentionally small. We typically have two to four openings each season. Send a note about your current handicap, your last lesson, and what you'd like to fix — Will replies within two business days.
