Elevate Your Game
With Derek Binsted

Derek starts by learning about you — your experience, goals, and what brought you out today. New students hit a few balls while Derek watches your natural swing, stance, grip, and ball flight. He's building a picture of where you are before deciding where to focus.

This is the heart of the session. If you're a beginner, Derek builds from the ground up — grip, stance, setup, and your first real swings. If you're an established player, he zeroes in on the specific area of your game that will move the needle fastest: driver off the tee, iron play, short game, putting, bunkers, or course management decisions.

Teaching without reinforcement doesn't stick. Derek walks you through purposeful practice drills so the changes you've made become muscle memory — not just something you understood in the moment and forgot on the next tee box.

Derek wraps up with a clear summary of what was worked on, what to practice before next time, and what the next lesson would build on. You leave with a specific focus — not just a feeling that something happened.

All lessons are on real grass — proper footwear keeps you stable through the swing and protects the turf.

Bring your own set so Derek can assess your current equipment and how well it fits your game. Beginners without clubs — Derek has loan clubs available at no extra charge.

Bring at least a sleeve (3 balls) for the session. If you're interested in a ball fitting, bring your current ball so Derek can pull data from it.

You're outside on a Texas grass range. Come prepared for the sun and stay hydrated — especially in warmer months.

Wear clothing that allows a full range of motion. Most courses request collared shirts — when in doubt, dress as you would to play a round.

Think ahead about what you most want to improve. The more specific you can be — "I keep slicing my driver" or "I can't get out of bunkers" — the faster Derek can target what matters.

Derek accepts Cash and Venmo. Payment is due at the time of the lesson.
