About
I don't believe in one golf swing. I teach your golf swing, because everybody is a little different and not everybody can swing the same. I also follow up with students with video analysis and will give them access to me for any additional questions post lesson. I have seen alot of golf swings and given alot of lessons previously with the Hank Johnson School of Golf in Alabama and over 1500 hours of lessons with Golf Made Simple.
Go to Jonathan Smith Golf Instruction on Facebook to see more about my instruction.
The best part about what I do is seeing people smile by helping them hit quality golf shots and progressing there game in a good direction. It is totally addicting!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Initial contact will consist of getting background information on the golfers experience (years played, previous lessons, what they are working on, what they typically shoot, and weaknesses in their game) as well as their goals. I teach on results based approach, so the first thing I do is test their skill and then give instruction based on what they need to improve to score better. Then at the end of the lesson I test them again and see how they have improved.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I previously assisted with the PGA Tour Academy at the TPC Scottsdale.
I was a certified Instructor with the Hank Johnson School of Golf
Taught with Golf Made Simple Inc. for two years where I gave over 1500 hours of group and individual instruction.
