What does it take for a strong amateur player to r What does it take for a strong amateur player to reach the "next level"? For CJ, it was a two-year journey of precision, discipline, and a total refinement of her game.

When CJ first started working with Coach Todd at SMART, she already had a powerful foundation. But to find that elite consistency, she and Todd went to work on the "fine-tuning" that separates the good from the great. The strategy involved rebuilding her move to achieve predictable shot shapes and controlled trajectories, redefining her physical technique and mental approach around the greens, and combining technical golf coaching with the physical discipline required to stay efficient.

The Result? A swing that stands up under pressure and a short game that CJ can finally rely on.

"CJ has dedicated an extraordinary amount of time, effort, and focus to these improvements. I’m incredibly proud of her commitment and positive attitude. She’s a fantastic representative of what SMART is all about." - Coach Todd

CJ, we are so proud to have you representing the SMART community. Your discipline is an inspiration to every golfer looking to shave those final few strokes off their handicap!

Rick started at SMART about five months ago with v Rick started at SMART about five months ago with very little strength training experience, but you’d never guess that now. Rick shows up every week, ready to work, and continues to get stronger every session. While he would never brag about it, Rick is quite the athlete and an incredibly quick learner. When he first tried back squats in November, it was brand new to him. Now he’s repping out a couple of plates like it’s nothing. His body is feeling better, his strength is climbing, and the improvements are showing up in the bay and on the course too.

Consistency like this is what real progress looks like. Keep it going, Rick 👏

We asked the crew who they want to win this year and what their go-to Masters sandwich 🥪 is, and we got a variety of answers on who they want to see donning the green jacket on Sunday!

One thing this crew can agree on is that a combination of Pimento Cheese, Egg Salad, or Pulled Pork on a sandwich is the way to go!

Huge shoutout to Michael for this incredible review of our new Northbrook Clubhouse! Hearing about these transformations is exactly why we do what we do.

At SMART, we believe that elite technology is only as good as the coaches who help you translate the data. We are so proud of the work Kyle Pecka has been doing with Michael, simplifying the "complex" so that progress actually feels attainable (and measurable!).

And we love a good family connection! It’s awesome to hear Michael’s son is having just as much success working with John Cleary. Whether you’re looking to break 80 or just getting your junior golfer started on the right path, our Northbrook team is ready to deliver.

Thank you, Michael, for trusting us with your game and your family’s development. We can’t wait to see those numbers keep improving!

You’ve spent the winter building a faster, stronger, and more efficient engine in our hitting bays and weight rooms. Now, it’s time to take that hard work from the “perfect” environment of the simulator and translate it to the grass.

The off-season was for building. The open season is for performing. Let’s make 2026 the year your scores finally reflect your potential. 📈
