The teaching philosophy at the Phoenix Golf Academy is based around a proactive approach to instruction and learning.
Taking a holistic and proactive approach to golf instruction the instructors will guide you through a golf program where you are the center of the process. PGA instructors are trained to quickly and accurately evaluate every student in terms of fitness, flexibility, current skill level, technique and mental skills, and then in consultation with the student devise a program to meet their needs.
We constantly encourage students to ask as many questions as they like. Understanding your personal swing predispositions and the means to make the necessary changes to achieve your desired results are the key to every PGA Golf School. Our instruction is always student focused where the swing changes are based on your personal capabilities, skill levels and commitment. Not everyone can swing the club like David Duval or Tiger Woods, and at our Golf Schools you will never be asked to swing in a way you body is not capable. The instructional philosophy at the Phoenix Golf Academy is "enthusiastic instruction and certain progress.
