Larry Van House

About

I'm a Certified Golf Teaching Professional with the US Golf Teachers Federation with 19 years experience. I teach beginners through expert level golfers. I also teach all ages of golfers. I am a certified Golf Coach with USKids golf. I give lessons at Liberty Forge golf course driving range in Mechanicsburg, PA. Lessons are supplemented by video analysis. My fee is $80 per hour of instruction. Prospective clients can arrange lesson appointments with me by calling or texting me at 732-672-8907 or by emailing me at [email protected].

I truly enjoy helping my clients drop ten or more strokes off of their golf handicap. Their excitement at improving and learning new things motivates me. The look of satisfaction on my client's face when they learn to consistently strike their irons "pure" is a pleasure to me.

    I wanted to start golfing with my husband. My husband is a very good golfer but he wanted me to learn from an instructor. He even went to my initial lessons with Larry. We both agree that Larry did a great job of getting me into good form and learning the right way.

    Ive been to a number of different instructors over the years and have found Larry to be the most helpful. His instruction and advice clicked for me. Ive brought both of my kids to Larry and recommended him to anyone asking about lessons or instructors.

    I considered the time spent with Larry invaluable to quickly return to an enjoyable game of golf after not playing the game for many years.

    I have had several lessons with Larry and have come away with improvements to my game each time. Larry provides helpful swing aids and records your swing and provides instant and understandable feedback. He also emails a follow up video for you to review. I highly recommend Larrys golf instruction!

    He works with where are you are in your swing. He doesn’t try to make wholesale change but rather fine-tune what you were already working with. I’ve had teachers for over 40 years that were not as competent as Larry.

    Frequently asked questions

    We will first establish a client's current level of ability with discussions about handicap or normal golf scores plus video analysis of the client's swing and evidence of proper impact using my proprietry "Sno-Board". We will also discuss the client's experiences on the golf course such as too much slicing, distance difficulties, etc. if the client is a beginner, we start at the beginning with grip, stance and ball position for full swings, chips and pitches and putting. If the client does not yet have clubs, I can work with them to advise on clubs to purchase - used or new. I re-grip client's clubs for those who need the service. 

    I am a Certified Golf Teaching Professional with the US Golf Teachers Federation. I am also a certified Golf Coach with USKids Golf.  I have been certified and have been giving lessons for 18 years. I have an article published in "Golf Pro" magazine about my proprietary "Sno-Board" which gives clients an exact and instantaneous view of their impact with the golf ball (for better or worse). This can give us a great deal of information about any swing faults that may be present. 

    My fee is $80 per hour
    Attended and passed United States Golf Federation training. This training is almost identical to PGA except it only involves how to teach the golf swing and omits subjects such as how to run a pro shop.
