Golf from Scratch: From zero to course-ready in 5 days.
If you’ve never played golf before, or if you’ve just started playing, golf can seem daunting. There’s so much to learn, from swing mechanics and proper form to terminology and etiquette - and heading into a full 18-hole round can feel scary, embarrassing, and frustrating. But the benefits of golf are myriad: incredible trips with friends, an amazing chance to meet new people develop new connections, and a lifetime of fun playing games in nature.
Golf From Scratch will teach you everything you need to know to play fast, fun, competent golf in a matter of days. By the end of my four day program, you’ll be able to play anywhere, with anyone, knowing that you’ll be able to have a fun, confident round.
Program dates: Sunday evening → Thursday afternoon (checkout Thursday evening)
Outcome: Play fast, fun, competent golf—with confidence, etiquette, and a repeatable swing.
Who this is for:
Absolute beginners who’ve never swung a club (or only at Topgolf).
Returners who’ve tried lessons/apps but still feel lost on a real course.
Partners/friends of golfers who want to keep up, not hold up.
Busy people who prefer an immersive, guided sprint over months of scattered lessons.
What you’ll walk away with (by Thursday afternoon):
A repeatable full-swing and confident short game (chip, pitch, putt).
The ability to play 9–18 holes at proper pace without supervision.
On-course decision-making: club selection, aiming, reading lies, avoiding penalties.
Rules & etiquette that make you a great playing partner from Day 1.
A personal Practice Blueprint to keep improving after camp (specific drills + reps).
Video of your swing with before/after analysis and key checkpoints.

Our teaching approach (why this works fast)
One clear model, not a tip salad. You’ll learn a simple, repeatable motion for every club in the bag - and receive reference materials and a customized review package you can use every time you practice and play.
Game-first sequencing. Short game → contact → speed → on-course decisions. Start from the very basics, and as you build your confidence close to the hole with your putts, we’ll work backwards to teach you how to chip, pitch, hit irons, and then the big clubs you hit off the tee.
Constraints-led drills. We set up the task so your body learns the right move every time. No “verbal salad” like “move your hips more!” - instead, learn how to connect the feelings in every part of your body to every part of your swing.
Video + feels. You’ll leave with your key feels—not someone else’s swing. And customized on-site videos will show you exactly what you’re doing, when you’re doing it, and how to improve.
Pace of play mindset. From day one: how to move, where to stand, what to hit next. Never wonder which club to grab, or what you should be doing. We’ll teach you how to prep for each hole, where to be, and how to play quickly and intelligently so that you’re always a joy to play with!

FAQs
I’ve never touched a club. Is that OK?
Perfect. This program is built for true beginners. We supply everything you need for training.
Will I actually be ready to play a real course?
Yes. By Thursday you’ll understand pace, etiquette, and have a reliable plan to get the ball around the course confidently, whether you’re playing with your better half, friends, or business contacts.
Do I need my own clubs?
No. We provide quality loaners. If you’re shopping, we’ll guide you on smart first-set options.
Is this program physically intense?
8 hours of non-stop swinging per day would be reckless and borderline impossible! We build in plenty of rest periods, recovery work, and blend long-range swings with mental lessons and short-game lessons to make sure that you’re fresh every single day.
What happens after camp?
You’ll leave with a customized Practice Blueprint, your swing videos, and clear checkpoints to keep improving, along with a customized booklet and checklists you can use for reference before, during, and after every round!
