Training Aids / Training Drills

There are literally thousands of golf training aids available in the marketplace and hundreds of drills designed to improve your swing mechanics. Most of these are fantastic tools to improve your swing faults or to help ingrain your newly acquired golf swing or putting stroke. The fact is there is not a single touring professional in the world that does not use training aids or drills to enhance their skills. In a sense each bit of technology we are showing you is in itself a training aid or drill. The training aids and drills that The Golf Academy uses are carefully tested and chosen to be certain they fit our high standards for instructional excellence. We are not in the business to SELL you a training aid, we are in the business to improve your swing mechanics, enhance your chipping technique or putting stroke and make you a better golfer.

Most consumers make the mistake of buying a training aid based on an infomercial or some other advertisement or because their friend "Joe" bought one. What they don’t realize is that all training aids have practical applications for particular swing faults. Most often people are buying aids that are not geared to their particular swing flaws. Another common mistake is to use the training aid in the wrong manner or in a different way than it was intended to be used. Lastly many golfers make the mistake of using a drill they saw on the Golf Channel or in Golf Digest when that particular drill may have no practical application to their individual issues.

Our certified instructors / coaches will only recommend a drill, training aid or training equipment if you need it and only recommend the one you need to improve. So before doing any drills or buying any training aid and / or, using any of our training equipment make certain that your swing coach has personally recommended it, demonstrated how to do it or use it, and recommended a training regimen with it.

It is a proven fact that properly prescribed drills and the use of specific training aids and training equipment will speed up the change in motor skills and quicken the time frame for your improvement. The goal of The Golf Academy is to make this process as simple, as easy, and fast as possible. Ernie Els in his recent swing makeover has been using a particular training aid for the past year. Realize that changing the motion pattern of a touring professional is far more difficult than changing the average golfer. The touring professional has hit millions of balls and their swing flaws are more ingrained. Tiger Woods has made 3 major overhauls in his swing over the years and each overhaul took about two years. We are not suggesting that it will take 2 years to change your swing patterns; what we are saying is there is no such thing as instant and those who think they can take a single lesson or two and improve dramatically have unrealistic expectations.

The Golf Academy is providing amenities and unparalleled services to golfers that are not available anywhere else. Everything has been thought of and designed to give you the chance to have lasting and pain free improvement in your golf swing and golf game. The Golf Academy by The Sports Club/LA is the only place to go for golf game improvement.
