First of all, welcome. Whether you joined because you're completely new to golf, want to lower your handicap, practise with more purpose or simply want to understand your own game better, I'm glad you're here. We're still early. You're one of the first golfers inside The Golf Blueprint, and over the coming weeks I'll keep building this community, adding new resources and learning from what YOU actually need. But don't wait for that. There's already plenty here to get started. 👇 START HERE 1. Introduce yourself Drop a comment below and tell us: ⛳️ Your name 📍 Where you're from 🏌🏼 Your current handicap or experience level 🎯 The ONE thing you'd most like to improve in your golf right now Don't overthink it. A few sentences is perfect. 2. Head over to CLASSROOM At the top of Skool you'll see the Classroom tab. That's where you'll find all of the courses and resources. If you're new to golf, start with: 👉 The Beginner Golf Blueprint Already playing? Have a look through the available courses and choose the one that matches what you currently need most. 3. Don't just read. DO. This is important. The goal isn't to collect more golf information. The goal is to actually change something in your game. Open the first lesson. Take the exercise with you. Try it this week. Then come back and tell us what happened. You can genuinely start making changes to your golf this week. 🧭 HOW TO USE THIS COMMUNITY Community → conversations, questions, wins and discussions Classroom → courses, lessons and learning Calendar → upcoming sessions and events as we add them And most importantly: Ask questions. I'm a PGA Golf Coach and I want this to become a place where you can actually get help rather than just endlessly consume golf content. Post your questions in the community. Share what you're struggling with. Share your wins too. 👊🏼 🚀 THE NEXT FEW DAYS For now, your only job is: Introduce yourself → Open Classroom → Start your first course → Take action.

I am happy so far that I found this community. In less than an hour, with the help of the "Classroom" I changed from thinking I wanted "more consistent scoring" to (for now) working to get my approach shot to the actual green. I'll be working on this with the help I already see in the Classroom.

⛳️ David Kalen 📍 Rhode Island, USA 🏌🏼 Handicap changed recently from 12 to 3 (I don't believe it...just because I played ONE good round?) 🎯 I'd like to score more consistently. I can have a spread of 14 strokes easily between rounds.

So far, one player has taken action with the material here. Who’s joining them? 👀 I get it. You sign up, have a look around and think, “I’ll get into this later.” Then the week happens. Let’s make starting a little easier. Pick one exercise from the Classroom and put a time in your calendar to try it. Choose something that fits the practice time you actually have. Then comment below: “I’m working on ___, and I’ll try it on ___.” That’s your first step. After you’ve tried it, come back and tell us what happened. What surprised you? What was harder than expected? You don’t need an impressive result to share something useful. An honest attempt gives us something we can work with. And if you’ve opened the courses but aren’t sure where to start, tell me what’s frustrating you most about your golf. I’ll help you choose. I’ve built this so we can work on your game together. Let’s put it to use 💪🏻

Consistent contact came out on top in our first vote, with knowing what to practise close behind. To me, these are not two separate problems. Anyone can give you a drill for better contact. But my job as a coach is not only to help you hit a few better shots while I’m standing beside you. I want you to understand what your shots are telling you, so you can make better decisions when you practise alone. Most golfers hit one poor shot and immediately change something. Their grip. Their posture. Their tempo. Their swing thought. After ten balls, they have tried ten different solutions but learned almost nothing about the pattern causing the problem. So today, we are not going to fix your contact yet. We are going to learn how to read it. The Contact Awareness Challenge Take a 7 iron and hit 10 balls at around 70% speed. Keep the same target, tempo and intention for every shot. After each ball, pause before changing anything. Ask yourself: 1. Where did I strike the clubface: toe, centre or heel? 2. Did the club meet the ground before or after the ball? 3. Did anything change in my rhythm or effort? Then check whether your feeling matches the evidence. On grass, draw a small line and place the ball on it. Check where the divot begins. On a mat, place a towel around 10 centimetres behind the ball. If you have impact spray or face tape, use it to check the strike location too. Do not make technical changes during these ten shots. Your job is to collect information, not chase perfection. Give yourself two scores: Contact score: How many clean strikes did you produce out of 10? Awareness score: How often did your feeling match what actually happened? Your awareness score matters most today. Because once you can recognise your pattern, you can stop guessing and start practising with purpose. Share both scores below, together with the pattern you noticed. For example: Contact: 6/10 Awareness: 8/10 Pattern: My contact became heavy whenever I tried to create more speed.
