We simplify the improvement process

Our Coaches designed programs and lessons to simplify the game of golf so you can play with ease and enjoy the game like never before.

Coaching on Retainer - Work at your own pace

  • This path is perfect for students who will not be available during traditional lesson times. It is also ideal for students who spend the winters down south.

  • Each student will have multiple opportunities to communicate with the coach. The monthly meeting may be in person or by phone. This time is focused on reviewing the progress and posted results from the previous month and then devising a new practice plan for the coming month.

  • Purposeful practice is key to lasting improvement in your golf game. Students who have retained a coach can book supervised practice sessions throughout the year. During these sessions, the coach will be present to ensure that the drills are being completed effectively.

  • Students who have retained a coach may purchase solo coaching sessions and attend classes and boot camps. Solo lessons serve one important purpose: fixing a swing fault, and costing shots on the course. Most golf courses can be played effectively with a solid strategy, but swing issues will need to be addressed if you cannot make consistent contact.

  • Matt A.

    “I was first introduced to Adam in the spring of 2023 when my handicap was a 23. After my first session, I realized how little I knew about the game. Over the past 12 months, I have become a student of the game, thinking about how to play a hole, where to take risks, and how to limit big numbers. This year, I learned the importance of purposeful practice and not just hitting a bucket of balls until my hands bleed. You learn not only how to manage the golf course but also how to practice and get something out of it. I was able to put in a lot of work both on and off the course, and it showed on the scorecard. My best 18-hole score was 84, my best 9-hole score was two over par, and I dropped my handicap to 14.8 by the season’s end.

    I would highly recommend this program to any serious golfers who are looking to improve their game. You must be willing to put the time in and be coachable.”

  • Bruce F.

    “A true beginner in 2019 at age 71. Never broken 100. I Started in June 2023 with Adam, with my handicap in the low 40s. Before we began, he referred me to a Titleist Performance Institute PT trainer for flexibility training. Handicap is now plateaued at 35. Putting and chipping, bunker shots, and tee-to-green have gotten better. My stroke mechanics are getting more refined, and I'm glad to learn about face angle and club path. I learned to be more intentional in aiming for specific spots. I had a hole-in-one on 6/5/24 at the age of 75. He's patient and responsive; no yelling! A gentleman.”

  • Gianfranco B.

    “Having worked with Adam over a few seasons, getting the swing in order was step one. The big change to get my handicap below 20 was course management and playing smarter golf. I no longer think about my swing. I'm thinking about playing the game of golf now!”

  • Chip B.

    “My goal when I started with Adam was to get below 90 on a regular basis. Over the course of a couple of months, I dropped my handicap by five strokes and was shooting in the low 90s and high 80s consistently with a couple of 9-hole rounds below 40. Working with Adam gave me a different view of approaching my game. I’m more strategic and intentional about every shot while on the course and the range. I’m confident I will continue to improve by applying what I learned while on the course with Adam.”

  • Dan R.

    Where they Started: Former single-digit player, no longer able to break 90

    Where they are Now: Consistently scoring in the mid-70s and playing golf with focus and intention.

    Testimonial: “I wanted to share my great experience with Coach D'Amario, who is an amazing golf teacher. He is knowledgeable and is a super patient teacher of the game of golf. He listens to your needs and areas of difficulty you are experiencing and stays in touch to see how you're doing. I highly recommend Adam if you want to take your golf game to the next level!”

  • Lloyd S.

    “I learned several things from you when we worked together the last two summers. I now plan each shot, deciding where I want the ball to land and roll and then I have a specific type of swing to make for that shot. This all is a working progress, but I feel I can master the remaining types of shots that I need as I continue.”

Frequently Asked Questions...

  • Once we have our initial planning call, and if we find we’re a good fit, we will set up a game assessment or initial coaching session (depending on your skill level). If you fit in any of our teams, we will devise an attainable and realistic goal and determine when we can achieve it. You’re guaranteed to reach that goal, or else you will receive FREE COACHING until you do. The only commitments we ask of you are:

    1. You show up and do the work.

    2. You remain coachable.

    3. You keep score.

    The guarantee is null and void if you fail to keep these commitments.

  • The Academy is for anyone serious and committed to taking their game to the next level. Suppose you are now shooting a 100 and want to break 90. Great. Suppose you are now shooting 90 and want to break 80. Great. Next Level Golf Academy is for you if you have a goal and commitment to reaching it.

  • The 9 Hole Game Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your game that covers all aspects of your golf skills, including driving, approach shots, short game, and putting. It is important because it helps you and your coach identify your strengths and weaknesses, which forms the basis of your personalized improvement plan.

  • It all depends on how good you want to get. Everyone is at a different place in their golf journey and requires a personalized improvement plan to reach their goals. The best place to start is with an initial planning call so we can determine where to begin

  • It all depends on your game assessment and your goals. Every player is at a different place in their journey to shooting lower scores, and our coaches are trained to professionally assess where you’re at and what you’ll need to improve.

  • Typically, there is one coach for every three or four players in the on-course and purposeful practice sessions.

  • The length of each session may vary, but on average, on-course sessions are about 2 hours, while purposeful practice sessions are about 1 1/2 hours.

  • Yes, during the small group sessions, the coach will work with each player individually to address their specific needs and goals.

  • The on-course and practice sessions require golf clubs, balls, and appropriate attire. The coach can provide recommendations on golf equipment and attire.

  • After several years of doing just that, I found that individual private lessons were no longer the best way to help players achieve their goals. There is nothing about the driving range that simulates what players experience out on the golf course. Think about it. The lies are usually flat, you’re hitting balls into an open field, and if you hit a poor shot, you scrape in another ball and hit it again. Then when you get out on the course, what happens? There’s Out of Bounds on either side of the fairway, and you only have one golf ball. Uh oh.
