The instruction tracks

Three ways
to practice
with intent.

Most students rotate through all three over a season. Track 1 is the bay — face angle, attack angle, low-point. Track 2 is the course — your real shots, your real lies, walking nine. Track 3 is the lab — the fifty yards in. Each track is priced and bookable on its own, and they bundle into a four-pack or eight-pack at a saving.

Range bay
— Track no. 01

Full swing
technical work.

Sixty minutes in the private bay at Pine Needles with a TrackMan 4 unit and a GC Quad. We start with a five-shot baseline, isolate the two metrics that are bleeding strokes, and build a rep pattern you can take to the range that week.

The first session of any new student starts here. Most students stay on this track for four sessions before rotating to Track 02.

On-course
playing lesson.

Three hours walking nine holes at Mid Pines or, on weekday mornings, at Pine Needles. We play your real shots in your real lies — fairway bunkers, hung lies, downwind par-3s, the sandhills wiregrass — and rebuild your decision-making in real time.

Most students who rotate to Track 02 after a four-pack of bay work see their on-course handicap drop two strokes faster than their range one. The course is where the mental game also gets its lab.

Putting clinic
— Track no. 03

Short game
& putting clinic.

Seventy-five minutes at the Pine Needles short-game complex. Wedge spin and trajectory control, bunker recovery from buried lies, lag putting calibration to a fifty-foot break, and a four-week putting routine you can keep without a coach watching.

Students with a 90-and-up scoring average usually find five strokes in the first four short-game sessions alone. Sub-80 students use it to stop the bleeding on bogey conversions.

What's actually covered

The curriculum, at the level of detail a coach owes you.

A lot of golf instruction is purposefully vague about what gets worked on. Here's the working list, by category.

Common questions

Things students ask on the way in.

If you don't see an answer here, send a note and Will will write back.

What's the handicap range you teach?

From 28 down to plus. Most active students sit between 18 and 6, but the academy and clinic work go down to first-time-on-a-course juniors and up to scratch club competitors.

How do I prepare for the first lesson?

Bring your own clubs (we'll fit you to better ones if needed), and play one round in the seven days before. Will needs to see what your real swing does in pressure, not your warmup ball.

Do you teach women only or junior-only sessions?

Yes — Will runs a women's-only Friday morning clinic from March through October, and the junior academy is its own program. Mixed lessons are also welcome.

Can I bring a friend to a lesson?

Two students per bay is allowed at a $50 add per second student. Three is the limit at the short-game complex.

Cancellation policy?

Forty-eight hours' notice and the lesson moves with no charge. Inside forty-eight, the lesson is forfeit unless rescheduling within the week is possible.

Are sessions refundable?

Single sessions are refundable up to twenty-four hours before. Packs are non-refundable but transferable to a family member or friend.
