LESSONS & FITTINGS Improve Your Game with Professional Instruction & Fittings

Private & Semi-Private Coaching

Private and Semi-Private Coaching Packages are designed to assess your game, plan a pathway to success and teach you the skills to get there. Each package begins with an on-course and TPI assessment to determine your goals, areas of your game that need improvement and any limitations that may exist. From there, a coaching and practice plan will be built around your individual goals. This plan will focus on improving not only your technical game, but the most commonly over looked areas of mental, strategic, emotional and physical.

New Girl Series (Fore Her)

Were you ever the New Girl in class? Well this is just like that, but better!

In our New Girl class, everyone is a beginner. Whether you are brand new to golf or picking up the clubs after a long break, this class will start at the beginning and show you all the basics. Not to mention answer all the burning questions we know you have: what club do I use and when? What’s a par? Where’s the practice putting green? What do I bring to the golf course? What do I wear?!

Class size: minimum of four; maximum of six

Discover Series (Co-Ed)

Discover 1.0

If you’ve played golf before and need a brush up on the basics, the Discover 1.0 Series is for you. We will touch on all the fundamentals that you tend to forget over the winter and discover a few new things along the way. We will cover the technical, mental and strategic aspects of putting, chipping, pitching and long game in five super fun weeks. If you are newer to the game of golf (still miss the golf ball sometimes, haven’t been out on the course much), please check out our New Girl Series.

Discover 2.0

In 1.0, we brushed up on the fundamentals. In Discover 2.0, we will get in depth on everything from green reading to shot selection. We will touch on course strategy, awkward lies and bunker play. You will be introduced to the mental side of the game, as well as, stats keeping. Get ready to level up your game!

Since 2016, Kate has been a coach for the British Columbia Golf Association, conducting regional and provincial training camps and leading many of their athletes and teams to success. She is dedicated to her continued professional development and holds numerous coaching credentials including PGA of Canada CNC and CDC as well as Titleist Performance Institute Level 2 Golf and Level 2 Junior. Yoga is a passion of Kate’s and she became certified in Yoga for Golfers to better help her students be physically able to enjoy the game of golf.
