Our short game area allows us to utilize many drills with the putter. Here are some of our favourites:

1. The laser - this allows us to ensure proper alignment and calibrates our sight lines. Some of us feel like we’re set up square but aren’t actually square. Use a laser to check if your perception is reality.

2. The Visio tempo stick - we want to maintain tempo with each length of putt we encounter. This device shows us what it’s like to hit different distances with the variable of tempo held constant - programmed to the student’s stroke!

3. Putt to the circle - amateurs frequently try too hard to make the long putts. This can lead to hitting putts too hard and leaving themselves with long comebackers. The 3ft circle teaches us to manage expectations and leave ourselves with tap ins more frequently. The secret is that you’ll make more long putts by doing this.

Comment your favourite putting drill!

Most amateurs lose shots on the par 3s. Ensuring you play these holes without major mistakes sets you up to score on the par 4s and 5s. Here’s what we recommend you do to keep your strategy sharp:

1: Be aware of the pin - most par 3s have pin locations that can be tucked behind bunkers/hazards. Look at the green as a whole and pick out which side you’d like to putt from. 99% of the time you’ll find yourself not aiming directly at the flag.

2: Pin high is king - if anything, make sure your shot ends up as close as possible to the target yardage. Since we can control distance much easier than left and right, this gives us the best opportunity to have a putt or chip for birdie.

3: Adjust to the environment - knowing how the elevation/wind will affect the shot informs you of the best decisions to make when it comes to distance and club selection. Playing from an elevated tee box downwind? Club down!

On these holes, take a moment to look think and you’ll start finding the right play more frequently.

With wedges, irons, and woods off the turf, the club should still be travelling down at impact. Ball first, then turf. The divot starts in front of where the ball was sitting, not behind it. That descending strike is what compresses the ball and creates the trajectory and spin you're after.

But most amateurs are trying to help the ball into the air. They hang back on the trail side, add loft through impact, and try to scoop it up which produces exactly the opposite of what they want. Thin shots. Fat shots. Weak, high flights with no distance control.

Here's the part that's hard to accept: loft is already built into the club. You don't need to add any. Your job is to deliver the club down and through, and let the clubface do the lifting.

Here are two things that help:

Know where your low point is - Spray a line on the turf and hit shots. If your divot starts behind the line, you've found your problem.

Get your pressure forward - Most fat and thin shots are a weight transfer issue before they're a hands issue.

Hit down to make it go up. It feels backwards until it works.

Vancouver may be the best place in the world to learn and play golf, here’s why:

1. It’s in season year-round - While most of Canada is under snow for five months, we're still playing. Mild coastal winters mean year-round access to courses and ranges. That consistency is everything when you're building a game. You don't lose three months of progress every winter and start over in the spring.

2. Huge variety within 45 minutes - There are 61 unique golf facilities & growing in the lower mainland. Learning across that many conditions builds a complete player. You can't help but develop course management and shot-making.

3. Accessible, high-quality public golf - Vancouver's municipal courses Fraserview, McCleery, Langara mean you don't need a membership or a sponsor to get good. Affordable, well-maintained, challenging golf is available to anyone willing to show up. That's rarer than you'd think, and it's why this city keeps producing strong players from every kind of background.

Players like Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin grew up playing many of these courses. Will you be next?

Teaching your kid to play the game you love can be a tall task! Golf especially should be introduced in a way that is fun & process driven. Here’s what we recommend:

1: Let them hit - after some simple fundamentals like grip and posture, they need to explore their interest by doing. Being corrected before they even have an opportunity to make contact can kill that curiosity.

2: Play games - if it feels like homework, development will be less successful than if it feels like play. Competitions, points, beating your personal best are all great ways for golf to feel like fun!

3: Praise the process, not results - this keeps them in the game for life. Developing hard work and grit comes from this. Effort and decision making skills grow fast from sticking to routines and focused repetitions.

Questions? We’re here to help!

With two wins in 2026, Cam Young is one of the elites on the PGA tour.

What we notice in his swing is how stable his lower body is. This gives him a foundation to produce massive ground reaction forces. You may also notice his “pause” at the top of his swing. This allows him to transfer this force at the correct time, every time.

What else do you notice in Cam’s swing? Comment below 👇

If you can run fast or jump high, you can also hit the ball far. Many people believe that working out, lifting weights, or even running is bad for golf.

The truth is, there’s a right way to do it. Golf alone won’t grow athlete’s abilities. Thats why supplementing Golf with dynamic movements allows students to reach the next level in speed and stability. This can give you a massive advantage in competition.

We built a gym at our academy this year for exactly that purpose, to bring out the best in our students. 1% better each day!
