Claude, Thanks for the new student assessment; it made an immediate impact to my game and score. Following our session, I played a round at Navy/Marine and shot my personal best score of 81. 

– Estaban Zamora

It was truly a pleasure meeting you and having you work with me on improving my golf game. I really appreciate your honesty, expertise, and professionalism. 

– Darryl Hicks

Thank you so much for giving the clinic for the Maui junior golfers. My son Ben and I really enjoyed and learned a lot from it. You have a great gift for teaching and a great way with the kids. Keeping it simple, fun, positive and effective. I was very impressed. 

Eric and Ben Cafferio

I’ve been following your suggestion about my foot placement and it has really helped.  My ball is going straighter and I’m getting more distance without swinging harder.  My golf buddy today said, after my third long drive of the day, “boy the lesson you got in Hawaii really paid off”.  Thanks for your help and encouragement.

FYI the 15 minutes you spent with me last Friday made immediate positive impact when I played on Saturday…best I’ve hit ball in long time. Mahalo

I wanted you to know that I shot my lowest round of golf EVER on Saturday at Koele.  86!  Not something low handicappers would rave about, but my handicap is 20 and so I’m thrilled.  Charles and I agree – it was your lesson that made the difference! 🙂  Thank you again.

FAQS ABOUT GCA

HOW IS GOLF CHANNEL ACADEMY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER GOLF INSTRUCTION OPTIONS?

The underlying philosophy of Golf Channel Academy—which all of our coaches reinforce—is that good coaching takes place over a period of time, not just one lesson. The relationship between coach and student is more than just “one and done.” This is how “teaching” becomes “coaching,” which we describe as an on-going relationship devoted to long-lasting improvement. Everything about Golf Channel Academy is devoted to enhancing the “coaching” experience for both teacher and student.

WHAT’S THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THIS GOLF CHANNEL ACADEMY AND THE GOLF CHANNEL ACADEMY I SEE ON TV?

Golf Channel Academy is the hands-on coaching extension of the cable network’s instruction programming, which includes such shows as The Golf Fix, Lesson Tee Live, and School of Golf. Golf Channel Academy allows you to receive personalized instruction from the very best coaches in the game, including many of the teachers who you see on TV. And you should see many more Golf Channel Academy coaches making appearances on Golf Channel instructional programs in the future.

HOW ARE THE COACHES CHOSEN TO BE PART OF GOLF CHANNEL ACADEMY?

Golf Channel Academy’s primary mission is to bring together the best coaches throughout North America under one network. These coaches have a proven track record of creating significant and sustained improvement in their students. They demonstrate a clear passion for their craft and learning, and are continually striving to enhance their teaching skills so that they can produce even better results for their students. Golf Channel Academy’s executive team–as well as experts from the golf world and academia– has put years of extensive research into identifying these qualities and assembling its initial group of coaches. A number of these coaches were selected with the help of Proponent Group, a golf instructor membership-based organization that features hundreds of the game’s top coaches (a large percentage of which form the nucleus of Golf Channel Academy). Golf Channel Academy will continue to study the instruction landscape and add coaches in the future to provide golfers everywhere a chance to learn from the very best.
