Damien Hamlett Golf Lessons
About
Being an accomplished player this allows me to help my students translate their range work to the course. It is very important to be able to carry over what we are working on to the course. Short game is a very important part of golf and often the most missed, in regards to practice time.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
You have to find out what the student is looking for first. Once you have found this out you can then start to put a plan together that will benefit the student. Each student is different and learns differently so you have to take that into account when coming up with a plan for that student.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Class A PGA member, I had to go through 3 levels of training before becoming a Class A member. Every 3 years we have to go through different training courses to keep our membership, so we are continuing to learn about the ever changing game of golf.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

I do offer packages that if you purchase lessons up front there is a discount.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching junior golfers when I was in college at the course I worked at. This gave me the passion to want to give back to the game that gave me so much growing up.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with beginners all the way to college players and aspiring pros. I have advanced junior golf program as well that is developing players for the future.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I have been working with special needs kids for the past 4 years. This has taught me so much about how to be patient with a student.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If you do not hit it off with an instuctor the first day, give them one more chance to make that impression. If not move on to another instructor that gets what you are looking to do and can work with you the way you would like.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Have a plan about what you are looking to get from the lessons. If you do not know what you are looking to get out of the lessons, it is hard as an instructor to know what to work on with the students.
