From beginner fundamentals, to advanced player refinement and mental strategy. High-value public golf. 

Is It Worth Paying for Expert Golf Lessons in Fort Lauderdale?

Absolutely yes. You can progress much faster in your golfing journey, especially when combining an experienced PGA Pro coach with tuition at an 18-hole championship golf course. This makes course management second nature, whereas the coaches teaching at facilities like driving ranges are limited to specific drills. Fort Lauderdale coaches usually have no choice and it gets repetitive fast, which can lead to an unbalanced teaching regime. Guidelines such as the 70/30 rule of golf are helpful; which is a suggestion to make 70% of your training short game focused. 

At Plantation Preserve you will enjoy a state of the art driving range, short game area, wedge range and 2 putting greens. The facilities help master the fundamentals quicker and build a well rounded skillset. Having a teacher known for his level head makes the mental game easier to get a grip on.

How fast will my handicap improve with Duncan Smith Golf Instruction?

Weekly coaching typically doubles the speed of improvement. It depends on your level but a realistic aim for regular players with some experience is 2 strokes off your handicap each month.
