Guaranteed Results Based Golf Coaching - Programs and Information

Gary Cardoza Jr PGA has been coaching golfers for over 28 years. He is a member of the PGA of America, The Proponent Group, The Skilled Coaching Alliance, a US Kids Certified Coach, a Flowcode Master Coach, and has been recognized as a top 25 instructor in New England for several years by New England Golf Monthly. In addition Gary has also been nominated to the Golf Digest Best In State for the past 5 lists. His singular focus with any student is improving the overall player’s performance on the golf course with a long term focus on the entire game. This differs from traditional swing teachers who focus solely on mechanics and the swing itself. A large amount of our time in any long term coaching program will be spent on the golf course playing the game rather than sitting on a range or in a simulator. While full swing practice is important for proper technique, the ability to validate it on the golf course is critical for long term player development.

During your initial lesson, you'll complete a player assessment and establish the highest priorities for improvement. Mutually agreed upon goals will be established, and once you've identified the main areas of concern, a practice plan will be developed to help you achieve growth in the most efficient way possible. A full review of the goals along with fully developed practice plans will be uploaded to an online training space that you'll have access to for as long as you're a client. The site serves as a two way locker for you to communicate any questions, updates, or concerns in between lessons where Gary can review and communicate back. It's like having a coach 24/7 in your pocket.

Gary is so committed to helping you improve that if our agreed upon goals are not met by the target date that we mutually agree on he will coach you for free until they are.*

Gary firmly believes in working within the natural athletic movements of the player to improve the existing swing, skill sets, mindsets, and overall approach to your game. Your practice plan will include ways to practice at home as well as on course practice ideas. In addition there will be ways for you to develop skill and shot making techniques beyond just traditional swing instruction. It's a combination of technical movement pattern based aquisition and game like training for the golf course. Training occurs at Pine Oaks Golf Course using a combination of our indoor Trackman studio and the golf course itself to validate full ball flight and train in the real environment that we play in. Pine Oaks also has a full short game area with bunker for use in training short game techniques such as pitching putting and chipping. Some of the tools that I use to help players perform include Trackman, Hackmotion, Blast, Sportsbox AI 3D Imaging and more. Gary also works with Dr. Rick Sessinghouse who is Colin Morikowa's long time coach on the metal side of the game as well as mindfulness training.

*Applies to all longer term coaching arrangements and NOT an individual one time lesson.
