“We just wanted to send an email letting you know how much we enjoyed the three days of lessons with you last week. Your explanations and the little games you had us playing were fantastic. The games are something we can play and compete with each other often. As you saw, we do get a little competitive with each other. Our rounds of golf saw improvements each time we were out on the course. You definitely have a gift to teach.” - Nancy C.

Indoor Winter Lessons
Certain times of the year are better spent working on scoring, while other times are better for working on swing changes. Without a doubt, the best time to change a golf swing is during the winter months at Treetops. During our indoor golf lessons, we utilize technology that helps students learn new movements faster.
A study by the National Golf Foundation found that students learn new movement patterns three times faster when they can see what they are doing. At the Treetops Golf Academy, we utilize V1 Motion Analysis technology to teach students how to change their swings. We also use the most advanced Launch Monitor technology available to help students see what causes the ball to fly the way it does. As a result, students learn how to better control the golf club at impact and get huge ball-flight gains. This, along with seeing the way their bodies move, helps students become better golfers.
