Golf Instruction, As Unique As You Are

Our Teaching philosophy is based on the fact that there is not just one ideal golf swing that will work for everyone. You can see proof of this by examining all the great professional golfers who all utilize different swing and playing styles with great success. We are huge advocates in identifying YOUR style and playing golf in your own unique way.

Instant Results!

I took a lesson with Maria about a month ago and it changed everything for me. She was able to quickly identify the flaws in my swing and how to address my slice. The lesson was well worth the money and I will continue to recommend your services.

Stress Free!

After taking lessons for 15 years, this is the FIRST lesson I’ve had that helped me identify the secret to me playing better! Being frustrated in the past trying to “learn” something that was “taught” in an incorrect way for me to improve, it was simple to improve with Maria’s technique!

Efficient!

Maria was fantastic. She was so enthusiastic that you could feel how much she loved helping people improve their game. She zeroed in immediately on the problem areas with my swing. Not surprising it was my short game. She gave me drills to work on at home but I did leave with immediate improvement. I would recommend her to anyone.

In our Junior League kids play tournament every week. There are so much more to learn in the competitive environment: focus, team spirt, sportsmanship, rules, pace of play, etiquette, etc. Another important lesson kids are learning is how to be a humble winner and gracious in defeat. .

Coach @kostina.maria is striping it!
Alignment is the one of the foundations that we always check before we address any other technical issues.
Love using the new Slapline for the alignment.
Never liked carrying alignment sticks with me (bag doesn’t fit in the car right, scratch my clubs, extra weight, not the best “toy” for kids)
So I always used to put my own club on the ground until I found this #Slapline..... it weighs nothing, doesn’t take up much room, slaps into a little roll, and it IS a fun toy for kids. Coach Anastasia 😉

“Feet together” is one of our favorite drills:
.
Promotes good rotation
.
Stops sliding and moving
.
We love using drills that put students in the position where they have no choice but to improve.
In the second video you can hear Coach Maria is telling me that “she is sliding”
But we try to avoid saying things like that to a student, especially a child (you are sliding/moving/ don’t slide/stop moving)
instead we would give them a drill or exercise that helps fix the mistake without having to give much verbal instructions (super important when working with kids). As you can see in the second video it works instantly!

First Junior League tournament was a success.
Thank you @woopscoeurdalene for sweet presents to the winners.
We believe it is very important to get the kids playing on the course as soon and as often as possible. So much to more to learn on the course and in the competitive setting.
It also gives us coaches a great feed back on what we need to focus on during training.

Nothing is more satisfying for a coach than to watch their students develop and grow.
.
Maria @kostina.maria started teaching Joseph as a freshman is high school, now he is playing for University of Idaho: “What a privilege it is to watch this young man grow from high school freshman as Post Falls Trojan to college freshman as Idaho Vandal. Overcoming challenges or enjoying victories he is always open and eager to learn. What a blessing it is to watch his life journey!”

What is the first and the most important thing to teach a beginner golfer?
.

At HLCC Golf Channel Academy we believe that SWING as a WHOLE is the most important!
We Do NOT teach students to HIT the ball, we teach them to SWING the club first..... (that is to follow through and finish in balance facing the target) once the student can do that we focus on the details.
As Randy Henry says: “Swing is the balanced motion through air”
