Adult Golf – BirdieBound

Adult Golf Instruction

Success in any pursuit requires a growth mindset. The greatest golfers are curious explorers, not critical judges. Golf lessons are about discovering the ideal swing for you, given your goals, your body's strength and flexibility, and your available time. There is no one way to play golf or swing a golf club. Approaching golf with a narrow mindset only serves to generate fear. Fear of swinging the wrong way. Fear of looking foolish. Fear of never getting it. Fear is counterproductive to learning as it puts your body in a physical, mental, and emotional state rich with interference. Golf lessons are about increasing your awareness of your current swing/game and empowering you to make the necessary adjustments to meet your desired goals.

Q & A

Is a golf lesson right for you?

Consider the following questions:

Do you get anxious standing on the first tee?
Do you wish someone would invent golf balls with a GPS tracking system?
Do you struggle to get the ball air borne?
Would you like to hit the ball farther?
Are you curious how to play shots from uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies?
Do you wish you had greater confidence when standing in deep rough or a bunker?
Do you get on or near the green in regulation, only to make bogey because your putting and chipping let you down?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, BirdieBound golf instruction can help you. Unlike traditional golf instruction, Nicole Damarjian takes into consideration the whole person when designing an improvement strategy. As a TPI Level II certified golf coach, she offers a golf fitness assessment to measure your strength and flexibility as it relates to the golf swing. She uses this information to determine the best mechanical changes to build your most efficient golf swing and reduce the risk of injury. With her doctorate in sport psychology, Nicole addresses the mental and emotional aspects of learning and play. If you struggle with focus or on course jitters, she can help you. Nicole will work with you to design the best practice schedule to transfer your performance on the driving range to the golf course. Finally, she collaborates with the professional staff at Tallwood Country Club to ensure that you have properly fit equipment.

Should I schedule a 30- or 60-minute golf lesson?

If you have never had a golf lesson with Nicole, please reserve 60-minutes for your first lesson. This will give Nicole adequate time to assess your health history, current golf strengths and weaknesses, learning style, as well as future goals to work toward.

If you have previously taken a lesson with Nicole, you may choose either a 30- or 60-minute lesson. 30-minute lessons are ideal if you like to check your progress on a regular basis. 60-minute lessons are ideal if you prefer more in-depth feedback.

Are coaching packages available?

Yes. The initial lesson for all coaching packages is 60-minutes to allow adequate time for assessment, individual goal setting, instruction, and the creation of your practice plan. Following this lesson, Nicole will work with you to determine the best use of your lesson time for goal achievement. This may include 30- or 60-minute blocks on the lesson tee as well as on-course instruction.

4-Hour Coaching Package: $372
7-Hour Coaching Package: $615
