Introduction: My name is Ben Hogan and golf has been part of my life since I have been able to walk. I have been playing competitive golf since the age of nine and have played in professional tournaments for the last seven years. I played NCAA Division I golf for George Mason University and was a team captain. As a highly accomplished amateur, I was fortunate enough to have worked personally with Kirk Lucas, an instructor to PGA and LPGA tour players, for over ten years. As a student of the game myself, I teach what I have learned from other great instructors and players such as Ben Hogan, Hank Haney, Butch Harmon, Jim Flick, Jonathan Byrd, Steve Marino, Quin and Jim Sullivan, and other fellow PGA members). Through their knowledge and wisdom I have been able to develop my own teaching methodologies. Through ten years of teaching, I have extensive knowledge in techniques and drills to help achieve you achieve your goals. I receive great satisfaction in helping students improve and enjoy the great game of golf. Honestly, getting a thank you or success story from a student a week after a lesson. If a student hasn't improved after a lesson, I want to them to tell me just the same.

I was the MOST IMPROVED player on the SGCC retirees this year, based on my handicap improvement (18% improvement). Thanks for your help in this achievement

Ben does a great job of teaching you the basics as well as intricate details of the game. After working with Ben I have a correct swing path and am more confident in my game. Great teacher! A+

Thanks Matt- Now that you have the "how-to" knowledge, keep refining your skills. Next time I see you I wanna see you hitting draws and fades on command!

Ben provided simplistic pointers with my swing, ball placement, and putting technique. He didn't overwhelm me with "information overload", and always made sure he was able to get his point across to ensure I understood what he was trying to teach. I look forward to incorporating the teaching points Ben taught me, through the rest of the summer and beyond! Great person, great teacher!

I have taken lessons from Ben for a few years now, and my handicap has continued to improve (get lower) with time. He has helped my understand what I need to work on to improve, given me drills, and helped me to be able to make adjustments on the golf course when I am not swinging well.

Jim, you're proof that hard work can pay off in the end. I just help make the work a little easier ! Congrats on your tournament finish last weekend.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fee is based of time spent with students. With nearly 30 years of knowledge, my job is to save you an enormous amount of time and give you immediate answers. Think of my service as your own personal "Google" of golf instruction - and you only get the top results.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I don't rely on the typical cookie cutter lesson strategy. If I used the same scripted dialogue with every student then I'd be wasting their money and my time.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a sponge for new data and research. I enjoy spending the time to study new facets of the game and incorporating them into my Instruction. I love playing the role of the nerdy guy in class who has the answers to the tests who everyone cheats off of. That's all golf instruction really is, an instructor that is essentially just saving you the time from having to spend endless hours studying. I believe the best golf instructors throughout history take the more challenging road and do their own homework. I don't see the point in sitting in a class to stay on top of some trendy method. Let alone PAY someone thousands of dollars for the right to slap another worthless "Level I" or "Level IV" next to my name.
