A repeatable swing can only be ingrained with fundamentals in place; all must fall in to place at the moment of impact to achieve that perfect shot. With US Golf Schools we guarantee that right here in Sri Lanka we can give you the best instructions you can find anywhere in the world and that’s a guarantee! We have answers to all of your questions with regard to the game of golf, eight step swing, putting, short game, sand play, un-even lies, trouble play and master the mental game and specialty shots (draw, fade, high, low, long running hook etc.)
At a time when development of golf has taken off at a very rapid pace in neighboring countries, Sri Lanka needs to step up to the plate said Anil Perera, the Head Teaching Professional at US Golf Schools located at Shangri-La’s Hambantota Golf Resort and Spa. High international standards are expected from the academy and all programmes are delivered with a universal golf teaching system.
“We teach people, not systems. There are no two golfers alike, nor is one method of instruction equally effective for all types of players. That’s why at any of our worldwide golf programmes, you are taught according to your unique physical ability. You will learn to complement your strengths, to concentrate on those aspects of your game that require the most obvious improvements. We will help you understand the fundamentals of the golf swing relevant to your body type,” said Anil Perera, the Head Teaching Professional at US Golf Schools for Sri Lanka.
“With the use of high-speed video equipment we will help you develop a more consistent golf swing, one that works with every club in your bag. You’ll learn self-analysis in concert with appropriate practice techniques. We will help you understand the process of learning, the process of applying simple, repeatable motor skills. You will achieve an understanding of the correct fundamentals, and ultimately maintain these fundamentals for your golfing life,” he added.
On-Course Golf Instruction
The Golf School’s PGA, LPGA and PGTCA teaching professionals believe it’s vital to spend time learning the game where it is played, on the golf course. The school teaches the entire game, not just the golf swing. Its instructors are trained and fully understand the fundamentals and management skills required to play a better game that results in lower scores.
“You’ll learn from situations that can’t be taught on the range or in a classroom. Because over 50% of this game is played inside of 100 yards and we devote half of the on-course time to improving your short game skills; putting, chipping, pitching and bunker techniques, along with our award winning ‘scoring zone’ programme,” Perera explained.
“You will also learn the basics of course management. Let’s face it, not even the best players in the game repeatedly hit the ball well. Course management skills together with a solid short game will enable you to score better even though your game may not be at its best.”
