Professional Golf Coach Nassau County
We’ve been helping golfers in Oyster Bay improve their games for years. We understand the unique challenges of Long Island golf – from dealing with coastal winds to managing the pressure of playing on some of the region’s most demanding courses.
We know what it takes to succeed on local courses like the Town of Oyster Bay Golf Course and understand the specific conditions you’ll face. We’ve worked with everyone from complete beginners picking up clubs for the first time to competitive players looking to break through scoring plateaus.
What sets us apart is our commitment to real improvement, not just temporary fixes. We focus on building fundamentals that last and giving you the tools to self-correct when things go wrong mid-round.
Golf Swing Mechanics Training
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your current swing and short game. This isn’t about finding everything wrong – it’s about identifying the key areas that will give you the biggest improvement fastest.
Next, we work on building proper swing mechanics through targeted drills and practice. You’ll understand not just what to do, but why it works and how to maintain it. We use video analysis so you can see the changes happening in real time.
Finally, we take it to the course. On-course lessons ensure your new skills translate to actual rounds. You’ll learn course management, how to practice effectively on your own, and develop the mental approach that separates good golfers from frustrated ones.

Player Development Programs Oyster Bay
Our instruction covers every aspect of your game. Full swing mechanics for consistent ball striking, short game skills that actually save strokes, and putting techniques that eliminate three-putts. We also work on course management – the strategic thinking that can drop strokes without changing your swing.
For Oyster Bay golfers, we understand the specific challenges of playing on Long Island courses. Coastal winds, firm conditions, and demanding layouts require specific skills and strategies. Our instruction prepares you for real course conditions, not just perfect range weather.
We offer flexible scheduling including same-day availability when possible. Individual lessons, playing lessons, and specialized short game sessions are all available. Equipment guidance ensures your clubs match your swing, maximizing the improvement from your lessons.
How quickly will I see improvement in my golf game?
Most students notice improvement in ball striking within their first lesson, with consistent progress over the following weeks. The timeline depends on your current skill level and practice commitment, but expect meaningful changes in 3-4 lessons.
Short game improvements often happen fastest since these skills require less complex motor patterns. Full swing changes take longer to become automatic, typically 6-8 lessons for solid fundamentals. We focus on the changes that will impact your scores most quickly while building long-term improvement.
The key is understanding what you’re working on and why. When you know the reasoning behind each change, you can practice more effectively and maintain improvements between lessons.
What makes your golf instruction different from other instructors?
We focus on building swing mechanics that work under pressure, not just on the practice range. Many instructors teach positions and techniques that fall apart during actual rounds. Our approach emphasizes consistency and repeatability in real playing conditions.
We also understand the specific challenges of golf in Oyster Bay and Nassau County. Local course conditions, weather patterns, and the types of shots you’ll actually need during rounds all factor into our instruction. This isn’t generic advice – it’s tailored to where and how you actually play.
Video analysis and immediate feedback help you understand changes as they happen. You’ll leave each lesson with specific practice drills and a clear understanding of what to work on until your next session.
Do you offer playing lessons on actual golf courses?
Yes, on-course playing lessons are a crucial part of our instruction program. Range practice is important, but golf is played on courses with real conditions, pressure, and decision-making requirements.
During playing lessons, we work on course management, shot selection, and applying your swing improvements in real situations. You’ll learn how to practice effectively, manage difficult lies, and develop pre-shot routines that work under pressure.
These lessons often provide the biggest breakthroughs because you’re learning in the environment where it actually matters. We can address specific course challenges and help you develop strategies for different playing conditions.
Can you help fix my slice or hook problems?
Absolutely. Slice and hook problems are among the most common issues we address, and they’re usually fixable with proper swing mechanics and understanding of ball flight laws.
The key is identifying the root cause, not just treating symptoms. Most golfers try to fix ball flight problems with compensations that make things worse. We’ll show you what’s actually causing your slice or hook and give you the tools to fix it both on the range and during rounds.
You’ll also learn how to make quick adjustments if these problems pop up mid-round. Having the ability to self-correct during play is what separates good golfers from those who struggle with consistency.
What should I expect during my first golf lesson?
Your first lesson begins with a conversation about your goals, current frustrations, and what you want to improve most. We’ll watch you hit some shots to assess your current swing and identify the key areas for improvement.
We use video analysis to show you exactly what’s happening in your swing and explain the changes that will have the biggest impact. You’ll hit balls while making these adjustments so you can feel the difference immediately.
By the end of the first lesson, you’ll have a clear understanding of what you’re working on, why it matters, and specific drills to practice. Most students leave feeling more confident and with a clearer path forward than they’ve had in years.
Do you provide instruction for short game and putting?
Short game instruction is a major focus of our program because it’s where most golfers can improve their scores fastest. Chipping, pitching, bunker play, and putting often account for more than half your strokes, yet most golfers spend minimal time practicing these skills properly.
We’ll teach you proper technique for different short game situations, distance control, and how to practice these skills effectively. You’ll learn when to chip versus pitch, how to read greens better, and develop the touch needed for consistent results around the green.
Putting instruction covers both technique and green reading. You’ll develop a consistent stroke, learn to control distance, and gain confidence on shorter putts that can make or break your round.
