 “This is a high-tech facility that offers quality teaching and training and precise feedback to golfers so they see immediately what they’re doing wrong and what they need to do in order to correct it,” said Dr. David Wurzer, president and director of Golf Excellence International, and one of fewer than 50 master PGA professionals in instruction. “No facility comes close to matching what we have to offer.” Golf Excellence International uses some of the most sophisticated teaching aids available, coupled with highly trained, experienced instructors, to work on all areas of the game, from the short game and putting to the mental side and fitness. Coupled with its relationship with Westridge Golf Club, the indoor facility “offers the most comprehensive learning program in the region,” Wurzer said. “Instead of having to drive to a range to work on your swing, and then drive somewhere else to work on your mental game, and then to a gym to work on flexibility, it’s all offered here.” The technology at Golf Excellence International includes machines that cannot be found anywhere in the country west of the Mississippi, Wurzer said. Those machines produce several ways in which to monitor performance, including biofeedback, sensory audio feedback and visual feedback, all of which allow golfers to truly see and feel what they’re doing wrong. “On the driving range the only feedback you’re going to get is ball flight,” Wurzer said. “But here they have all this information, which really helps them to find, and work on, the causes of their mishits.” While the technology offered at Golf Excellence International may seem so advanced that only top players could benefit from it, Wurzer stresses that the program is designed for every kind of golfer, not just a tour player. “Even beginners can benefit greatly because it will reduce the time it will take for them to become a much better player. They won’t learn the wrong way. They’ll see what they’re doing and get immediate, precise feedback. We’ve seen 19 handicappers drop to 12 and 6. So it really is for all levels.” And while some purists may think that learning — or relearning — the golf swing should always be outdoors, the reality is that exterior distractions like rain, wind and noise, can often get in the way of proper swing mechanics. “We’ve found the best way to learn the mechanics of the swing is indoors,” Wurzer said. “Students learn what they’re supposed to be doing, what their body is doing and what the shaft is doing. That way, at the range, they can focus purely on ball flight.” The current rate for an hourly lesson and half-hour solo training session is $125. “What you get is definitely worth it,” Wurzer said. “You’re training and practicing in the same place and getting the kind of immediate feedback that you have to have in order to improve. In the long term, it’s going to save a golfer money because they’re going to learn the right way to swing a club, or learn what it is they’ve been doing wrong. And, if they do what they’re supposed to do, they’re going to become a much better golfer much quicker.” For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (562) 944-5858. |
