Beliefs
- “One-off” golf lessons do not lead to long term improvement. Our model of one golf lesson per week, one fitness session per week, and one practice session per week creates the environment necessary to achieve lasting results.
- The better the person is as an athlete, the easier it will be for them to improve their game, and the greater their potential will be as a golfer. One of the many reasons we put such an emphasis on the fitness portion of our programs.
- The difference between consistent and inconsistent ball-strikers comes down to timing. Having an efficient swing allows a player to consistently time their swing correctly. The most efficient swing for each individual will depend on a number of factors including: physical capabilities, age, history of sports played, etc.
- The determining factor that separates the best from the rest is Deliberate Practice, which can be described as an activity specifically designed to improve performance. Our coaches create this environment for our members, and it is through the execution of deliberate practice that players see great results.
- The difference between a good practice environment and a bad practice environment is the presence of feedback. At SMART Golf & Fitness we have created the best practice environment with various forms of feedback available at all times.
- Total game improvement consists of three variables: training, practice, and play. We focus on all three variables, and leave no stone unturned.
