Optimize your golf instruction and subsequent learning by using sound golf pitching assessment tools. Your golf lessons time and practice will be much better spent when you accurately identify your golf pitch shot needs. These are the same assessments used by PGA of America instructors working with PGA Tour players. Golf pitching assessments identify specific distances and areas of your golf pitching which need improvement. These golf pitching assessments always have specific measurable results that can be used to improve your game. Once completed the PGA professional instructor will give the student drill to work on these weak links in the players game.
These assessments are not concerned with assessing the swing methods. These assessments specifically measure and can be performed separately from your formal golf lessons. You can perform the assessments with or without your golf instructor. You can use the assessed results to set goals. These are the tests used at the top rated golf schools and academies in the world.
