PerFORMance Golf Newsletter
by Tom Sheely
Hello PerFORMance Player members. This is my first newsletter for 2011 and begins with the announcement of a new location for all my lessons.
Boulder Creek Golf Course: (click on link) Starting immediately, my lessons will be conducted at the Boulder Creek Golf Course, which has one of the finest practice facilities in Southern Nevada.
PerFORMance Golf Lesson Program
One Hour Private Lesson: $50 PerFORMance Player (PP) Discount: $40

One Hour Semi-Private Lesson: $25 per person PP Discount: $20 per person
PerFORMance Player Group Sessions
With the new location I will be able to offer some new programs. The one I am the most excited about are my group sessions. Because of the lower price per student, group lessons provide the best value to improve your game. But typically, most instructors only offer group lessons for beginners. The golf industry has promoted the myth that once you become an intermediate or advance player, you should only take private lessons. There is definitely a place for private lessons, but golfers should not overlook some of the advantages of group lessons.
v Lower Cost: If a player wanted to spend $50 a month on lessons, they would do better taking three (1 hour) group lessons @ $15 a session, than one private lesson.
v More interaction – more fun. The group dynamic provides an additional learning experience not present in a private lesson. Also, the social element of a group makes it more fun.
Sign up individually: You do not have to put your own group together. These are group sessions I put together on a preset schedule and you sign up for one of the spots. Note: if the day and time does not fit your schedule, please e-mail me and let me know of some times that does fit your schedule.
Short-Game Group Special (4 Players): Covers putting, chipping, pitching and bunker. Each session will cover at least two of the short game shots.
- Custom fits fundamentals to each player
- Cost Per Person: $15 1 hour
Full-Swing Group Special (4 Players): Covers full swing fundamentals for irons and driver.
- Custom fits fundamentals to each player
- Video Swing Report posted on PerFORMance Golf YouTube channel
- Cost Per Person: $15 1 hour
On-Course Playing Analysis
As your coach, it is extremely valuable for me to observe you play on the course. These are typically called playing lessons, but in reality, it is not possible or practical to take the time to give instructional advice on the course and stay up with the pace of play. But seeing how you execute the fundamentals your working on under the real conditions of playing 18 holes is helpful to me in designing your game improvement plan. I will be taking notes for each player in the group (4 students).
Power Track statistics: In addition to my swing notes, I will also Power Track every player’s shots. This will give us the most advanced statistics on your game. These statistics will be similar to what ShotLink provides the pros on the PGA Tour. Every player in the group will receive a free membership to Power Tracker so they can see their stats on my Power Tracker website.
On-Course Video Swing Report: I will also, take video and swing sequence photos of every player during the round and provide my Swing Report on YouTube
- Cost: Includes Green Fee and range balls prior to teeing off.
- $85 per person – Tee time will be around 2:00 pm (meet in Pro Shop at 1:00)
Student Purchases Range Balls for lessons:
- All students must purchase 1 bucket of balls for each lesson ($7 per bucket)
- Lesson prices above do not include cost of range balls.
- You do not purchase a bucket if participating in the On-Course Playing Analysis Program.
