Session 1 - Baseline & Ball Striking

Most golfers don't actually know why the ball does what it does.
They have theories. They have feels. But they've never seen the actual numbers — impact location, attack angle, club path, carry distance — that explain every shot they hit.
Session 1 changes that.
This is your baseline. No swing fixes. No pressure. Just honest data on what's actually happening at impact.
What You'll Work On
Session 1 is built around the GreenBays three-part framework - Technique, Skills, Competition - applied to ball striking fundamentals.
Warm Up (0-5 min)
Mode: TrackMan Range
Club: 8-iron
Hit 6-8 relaxed shots. No swing thoughts. No targets.
Glance at carry distance and launch height. This is about starting honest, not impressive.
Technique — Impact & Low Point Awareness (5-25 min)
Mode: Performance Studio - Shot Analysis
Club: 8-iron
Hit sets of 3 shots and check:
Step away between sets. One feel adjustment only.
What you're learning: whether your miss is a contact problem or a direction problem. Most golfers don't know the difference. TrackMan shows you instantly.
Key rules: no targets, one feel only, ignore ball flight. Ball flight reacts. Impact causes.
Skills — Distance Control Foundations (25-50 min)
Mode: TrackMan Range or Target Practice
Club: Pitching Wedge
Choose three distances: 70 / 90 / 110m
Hit 8 balls per distance. Same swing, different length.
Track carry consistency & dispersion (spread)
Success here isn't perfect strikes. It's repeatable carries.
Competition — Short Iron Scoring (50-60 min)
Mode: Performance Centre - Short Iron Approaches
Changing green sizes. 8-10 shots total.
Watch: Proximity to hole and Shots Gained.
Session Takeaway
"I finally know why my ball does what it does."
That's the shift Session 1 is designed to create. Not a fixed swing - an informed golfer. Ready to Book Session 1? The bays are open 24/7. Your baseline is waiting.
