Every golf coach needs an introductory offer. Something that helps you get to know a student and a student get to know you while finding out what other programs might be a great fit for them.

Derek recently moved to a new golf club and was looking for a way to introduce himself to members and a great way to get people involved in his instruction programs. We talk about how he used playing lessons to facilitate this process and cover some of those results.

We also talk about some of the challenges of moving to a new course and the steps Derek went through to make that process and seamless as possible.
