Hank and his instructors use sophisticated digital video analysis in their one-on-one teaching sessions. They will work with you on every aspect of the swing to improve power, accuracy and consistency. The short game of chipping, pitching, sand shots and putting is strongly emphasized to help everyone lower their scores. To develop a complete player, all the mental aspects and course management skills are emphasized with every golfer as well.

As a student progresses through his training, Hank and his staff instruct him on how to understand what his swing is doing by analyzing the ball flight which is really the cornerstone to becoming his own best teacher. Each student learns how to practice, how to play the golf course, how to analyze his or her game to find the areas that need the most improvement, and most importantly how to think and act like a champion.
