Golf Digest Certified Lessons By Mark Speir
About
I am the the Director of Instruction @ Plantation Palms Golf club. My teaching philosophy is pretty simple LESS is More. The least amount of effort we can put into getting the ball to go where we want it to go the better. The trick is to learn the proper way YOUR swing works and how to make it the most efficient and effective for you and YOUR game. No cookie cutter lessons here! We use a simple method to measure and not guess your best swing. We use techniques used by all the best instructors in the world to help players of all levels. We are typically an all-grass facility but do use high-quality artificial tees occasionally. We always prefer to include actual playing sessions with the instruction as well.
I offer truly personal Golf Instruction! We offer everything from mental game and course management to short game and full swing. On Course and driving range instruction is included! Lessons allow you to hone and improve gradually with plenty of structured practice time to allow the techniques to take affect and lower your scores. NO need to rush and overhaul the whole swing in one hour! You're going to continue to see steady improvement and scores decreasing. We love to fix the illusive driver issues everyone has as well! Want to take that 20 year old slice into a draw in less than an hour come see me!
