The PGA TOUR Golf Academy

I've wanted to learn the Aimpoint method of reading greens for a while. I looked on Aimpoints website and found Todd Jones is a level 2 instructor. On the advice of my full swing coach I set up a lesson with Todd. I'm sure glad I did. He was very thorough with his explanations and extremely understanding when I was having trouble feeling some of the smaller slopes. He advised a different way of feeling them and that turned out to be the trick. He also gave me some great drills for my speed control. I played a round the afternoon after my lesson and only had one 3 putt. I feel confident that, after practicing with the drills and information Todd has given me, that my score will improve. After the lesson he gave me very specific notes and spent time making sure I understood each concept. We talked for a few minutes and I told him I was struggling with my driver swing. He offered some advise on a simple technique that I am going to try at my next practice. Mind you, I only paid for a green reading lesson. This advise was offered after the lesson was over. Many high end instructors will simply not spend time with you after a lesson. Understandable since they aren't getting paid but when one does it really shows they care. I've been fortunate to find these kinds of instructors and Tood is definitely one of them. I'm excited to both practice what I've learned and to return for another lesson soon.

On a logistics note, my GPS took me right to the parking lot that is marked "For Students Only". It looks like you are very far from the facility because the main clubhouse is further up the road, which is marked "Service Vehicles Only, No Exit". Don't go up the road, the parking lot is right across the road from the practice facility. You will see a putting green and a small building next to it. That's the building you want to got to. I was confused because I didn't see a driving range but it is on the other side of the building.

Majestic and a golfer's dream.

Just day one of 3 for us - really amazing! Jason is wonderful and the facility has everything you could imagine to improve your swing/game. We got to play The King and the Bear today as part of our package - what a treat and what a course!
