Open My Roadmap →You do not need a perfect swing to begin enjoying golf. Start with a comfortable setup, learn what solid contact feels like, and build a simple routine you can trust. The rules, etiquette, and more advanced skills can grow with you one step at a time.
Focus on a comfortable setup, balanced motion, and making the ball move forward with solid contact. Avoid collecting swing tips from several different sources. One clear priority practiced consistently will help you improve faster than five changes at the same time.
Learn to find the center of the clubface before worrying about distance or a picture-perfect swing.
Choose a target, take one rehearsal swing, set up comfortably, and make a committed swing.
Notice the small wins. Every solid shot and comfortable decision is meaningful progress.

Explore Your First Lesson →A NOTE FROM ALFONSOEvery great golfer started exactly where you are today.
Do not worry about being perfect. Learn one skill at a time, enjoy the journey, and celebrate the small improvements along the way. Your goal is not to become a great golfer overnight—it is to become a little better every time you play.
Breaking 100 is not about hitting every shot perfectly. It comes from keeping the ball in play, wasting fewer shots around the green, and choosing decisions that prevent one mistake from becoming a big number.
Start by noticing the shots that add strokes without creating a real scoring opportunity. You do not need more distance or a perfect-looking swing. Solid contact and predictable decisions will move your score faster.
Choose a club and target from the tee that reduce penalties and leave a manageable next shot.
Build reliable chipping contact and putting speed so one missed green does not become several wasted shots.
After a mistake, take the simple recovery and put the ball back in position instead of forcing the perfect shot.
Prioritize solid ball striking, shots inside 100 yards, and putting speed control. Consistency beats distance. When those areas become more predictable, you will have fewer penalties, easier recovery shots, and shorter putts to finish each hole.
Use this free 30-minute plan to improve contact, choose better landing spots, control rollout, and practice finishing every ball into the hole.

Explore a Focused Lesson →YOUR COURSE-MANAGEMENT RULEAim away from trouble and play for your next shot—not the perfect shot.
Choose the safest useful target and keep the ball in play. Smart golf will save more strokes than taking unnecessary risks, especially after a mistake.
Golfers near 90 often have enough good shots to reach their goal. The difference is reducing inconsistent tee shots, improving approach accuracy, and converting more straightforward opportunities around the green.
Protect your score by keeping tee shots playable, choosing approach targets that leave manageable misses, and preventing a missed green from automatically becoming a double bogey.
Prioritize position and a predictable next shot over maximum distance.
Choose targets that give both your best swing and your normal miss room to finish safely.
Improve wedge distance control, eliminate three-putts, and give yourself realistic chances to save par.
Reliable wedge carries and a predictable short game create closer approach shots and save strokes when you miss a green. Track how often you make par after a missed green to see whether this part of your game is moving your score forward.
Use this free 30-minute plan to learn your carry distances, improve centered contact, and build confidence with partial wedge swings from 40–100 yards.

Apply for Coaching →YOUR SCORING RULEEliminate double bogeys.
Turn one or two doubles into bogeys each round and breaking 90 becomes far more achievable. After a mistake, choose the next shot that gets the hole—and your round—back under control.
Consistently shooting in the 70s does not require perfect golf. It requires precise approach play, disciplined targets, controlled wedges, and the ability to capitalize when scoring opportunities appear.
At this level, broad swing changes are rarely the complete answer. Measure where strokes are actually disappearing, then make practice and strategy decisions around the patterns that repeat.
Create more realistic scoring chances with sharper approach and wedge distance control.
Use targets that protect against penalties, short-sided misses, and difficult recovery positions.
Turn more missed greens into pars and make a higher percentage of putts inside six feet.
Track strokes gained around the green when available—or use up-and-down percentage for a simple manual measure. You need to know whether your short game is saving the round or quietly adding pressure to every hole.
Use this free plan to choose smarter targets, compare risk with opportunity, manage your normal miss, and judge decisions separately from individual outcomes.

Explore a Playing Lesson →YOUR DECISION-MAKING PRINCIPLEPlay aggressively to smart targets—not aggressively at every target.
Aim where both your best swings and your normal misses leave a playable next shot. Trust that patient, committed golf creates more opportunities than forcing shots the course has not given you.
