Phil Ritson / Mel Sole Golf School
at Pawleys Plantation
Golf School Itineraries
1 – 3 day programs
3 Day School

Classes are half-days only, choose mornings 9:00 am to 12:30 pm or afternoons from 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm.

Day 1
Start off inside the golf school with an introduction and discussion between student and instructor on the student’s level of play, amount of play and goals the student would like to accomplish during their school. Then, a programme developed by a leading sport psychologist on the mental aspects of golf and a personality profile, are done. This helps the student understand the learning process and also reveals the learning style of each student. The results of the personality profile enable the instructor to adapt their teaching style for each individual. Once that is completed (approx. 45 minutes), the students are taken out and video taped while hitting balls with a 5 iron. Back inside the viewing room, the instructor reviews the tape with the student to determine which aspects of the full swing they will be working on and why and how this work will achieve the desired results. Afterwards, the students are taken back out to the practice tee and given drills to start them on their course to improvement. The remaining time will be spent working on these drills.

Day 2
Students start off on the practice tee with drills from day one. After an hour of work on the full swing, the instructor will change to either pitching and bunker shots, or chipping and putting. Whichever one of these is not done on Day 2 it will be done on Day 3. All of these shots are video taped and towards the end of the class the students will return to the viewing room to watch the tape. They’ll observe changes which have taken place and they will see which areas of their swing need further work the following day.

Day 3
Work begins with the woods, then moves to either chipping and putting, or pitching and bunker play. Final viewing is done at the end of the day, questions are encouraged and a practice plan is discussed.

A personal lesson tape is given to the student to take home for continued practice and information from the school's follow-up service via the internet is provided.

2 Day Golf School
7 hours of instruction at the learning centre, 3.5 hours per day. Choose from either morning 9am to 12:30 OR afternoon 1:30 to 5pm.

Day 1
Start off inside the golf school with a brief discussion between student and instructor on the student’s level of play, amount of play and practice and the goals that he/she would like to achieve with their golf. Then head to the practice tee where the Instructor video tapes the swing without any directions at this point from the instructor as they want to see the natural swing.

Next, the student is taken into the viewing room where the Instructor will provide video analysis. This will determine which aspects of the full swing need improvement and personal practice drills are prescribed and explained. Afterwards, the student returns to the practice tee and spends about an hour on full swing drills specific to their needs.

Following that, the student will begin to work on pitching and bunker shots or chipping and putting. Whichever of those is not covered on the first day will be done the second day.

Some video taping is done for both long & short game work and, towards the end of class, students return to the viewing room for video analysis. They'll observe changes that have taken place and the Instructor will discuss what needs more work on the following day.

Day 2
Students begin working on the practice tee with woods and irons for full swing shots. After about one hour, they will change to focus on two aspects of the short game. If they covered pitch shots and sand play on the first day, they will do chipping & putting today, or vice versa. The Instructor films himself and the student correctly executing short game shots and then students are brought inside for final viewing. Questions are encouraged and practice plans are discussed. A personal lesson tape is given to the student to take home for continued practice and information from the school's follow-up service via the internet is provided.

If the student is joining a 3 day school already in session, then their itinerary will match the itinerary of day 1, 2 or 3 as described in the 3 day school curriculum.
The student may be requested to arrive 30 minutes before regular class starts, for time to video tape the swing and provide analysis, so that they are "up to speed" when the rest of the class arrives.
If the student is the sole attendee in a 2 day school, he/she has the option of choosing to spend more time on either the long game or the short game. The Instructor will also make helpful suggestions as to the curriculum if the student needs guidance.

1 Day Golf School
3.5 hours of instruction at the learning centre, either 1:30-5pm OR 9am-12:30pm.

Start off inside the golf school with a brief discussion between student and instructor on the student's level of play, amount of play and practice and the goals that he/she would like to achieve with their golf. Then head to the practice tee where the Instructor video tapes your swing without any directions at this point from the instructor as he wants to see the natural swing.

Next, the student is taken to the viewing room where the Instructor will provide video analysis. This will determine which aspects of the full swing need improvement and personal practice drills are prescribed and explained. Afterwards, the student returns to the practice tee and works with the instructor on full swing drills specific to their needs.

Near the end of the class, the instructor will film you again and you'll both return to the viewing room to see what changes have taken place and to discuss future practice routines. A personal lesson tape is given to the student to take home for continued practice.

If the student is joining a 3 day school already in session, then their itinerary will match the itinerary of day 1, 2 or 3 as described in our 3 day school curriculum.
The student may be requested to arrive 30 minutes before regular class starts, for time to video tape the swing and provide analysis, so that they are up to speed when the rest of the class arrives.
If the student is the sole attendee in a 1 day school, he/she may choose the focus of the instruction. Instead of full swing work, the student may choose to work only on an aspect, or two, of the short game and the instructor will be happy to comply.
