How we coach — and how to talk about it. The model is the same in every bay, with every coach. This is what "coached to the Standard" means on the floor.
A swing fault is sometimes a body fault in disguise. We find the real cause, build a plan, and measure progress against a standard — not against how last week felt.
TrackMan measures 27 things on every shot; dual-camera shows the rest. You name the cause, not the symptom.
Every member has a plan tied to their level. Sessions build on each other — they're never standalone.
Work the inputs under the score, including the physical work the data shows they need.
Progress is tracked against the exit standard for their level — what they can do, not what they felt.
The method is the Five-Domain Framework — every session works across Technical · Skill Acquisition · Scoring · Mental · Physical, weighted to the member's level (Technical-heavy at Zero to Golfer; Scoring and Mental rise toward Break Par). Full detail in the Second Brain.
The difference between SwingFIT and the coach down the road is the Standard. This is the line to hold in every session.
Every member enters at the level that matches their game. You coach to its exit standard. Sim figures in brackets — the simulator plays harder.
| Level | Who it's for | What you build | Exit standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zero to Golferon-ramp | New to golf | Setup, full swing, short-game basics, how the game is played | First 9-hole round with routine in place |
| Break 100 | Scoring 100+ | Approach play, one reliable around-green shot, lag putting, course management | 3 rounds of 99 or better (sim sub-84) |
| Break 90 | Scoring in the 90s | Wedge chart, putting distance control, on-course decision framework | 3 rounds of 89 or better (sim sub-78) |
| Break 80 | Scoring in the 80s | Precision approach play, scoring-zone mastery, competition-ready game | 3 rounds under 80 (sim sub-72) + Combine ≥ 70 |
| Break Par | Single figures to scratch | Every band measured, the dead zone closed, decisions under pressure | Handicap ≤ 1.0, Combine ≥ 79, rounds at/under rating |
Never say to a member:
Visible progress is what keeps members paying — and your commission grows with the membership base you serve and the lessons you deliver.
Members who see measured progress renew and refer. The Standard is what makes progress visible.
