Q & A

Is a golf lesson right for you?

Consider the following questions:

Do you get anxious standing on the first tee?
Do you wish someone would invent golf balls with a GPS tracking system?
Do you struggle to get the ball air borne?
Would you like to hit the ball farther?
Are you curious how to play shots from uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies?
Do you wish you had greater confidence when standing in deep rough or a bunker?
Do you get on or near the green in regulation, only to make bogey because your putting and chipping let you down?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, BirdieBound golf instruction can help you. Unlike traditional golf instruction, Nicole Damarjian takes into consideration the whole person when designing an improvement strategy. As a TPI Level II certified golf coach, she offers a golf fitness assessment to measure your strength and flexibility as it relates to the golf swing. She uses this information to determine the best mechanical changes to build your most efficient golf swing and reduce the risk of injury. With her doctorate in sport psychology, Nicole addresses the mental and emotional aspects of learning and play. If you struggle with focus or on course jitters, she can help you. Nicole will work with you to design the best practice schedule to transfer your performance on the driving range to the golf course. Finally, she collaborates with the professional staff at Blackledge Country Club to ensure that you have properly fit equipment.

Should I schedule a 30- or 60-minute golf lesson?

If you have never had a golf lesson with Nicole, please reserve 60-minutes for your first lesson. This will give Nicole adequate time to assess your health history, current golf strengths and weaknesses, learning style, as well as future goals to work toward.

If you have previously taken a lesson with Nicole, you may choose either a 30- or 60-minute lesson. 30-minute lessons are ideal if you like to check your progress on a regular basis. 60-minute lessons are ideal if you prefer more in-depth feedback.

Are coaching packages available?

BirdieBound offers two coaching packages.

5 1-hour lessons: This lesson package is ideal for players who prefer a more in-depth lesson incorporating video, launch monitor, the Blast, or time on the golf course. Cost: $625 ($50 savings)

8 30-minute lessons: This lesson package is ideal for players who prefer to touch base on a regular basis to be sure they are progressing toward their season goals. It is only available for players who have previously had an initial 1-hour assessment/lesson. Cost: $560 ($40 savings)

All coaching packages must be used in the year they are purchased.
