Sandra Chester - the teacher who is twice as nice will fix your hook or your slice!

My teaching philosophy is to facilitate helping people learn and understand the game of golf by communicating complex ideas into concepts that are easy to understand and apply.

I purpose to discover the needs, motivation and goals (long and short term) of each of my students; to provide them with a measurable method (plan) designed to most closely meet those identified goals; to create a positive learning environment dedicated to maximizing their self image and learning potential; to educate them on necessary foundational fundamentals, swing essentials, and cause and effect truths they can rely upon and utilize to self correct.

I feel each lesson builds upon the last and therefore encourage my students to provide feedback as to their understanding of the concepts being taught to insure we are working toward a common goal.

It is key that my students actively participate in their success through consistent and structured practice sessions in between lessons.

My goal is to ultimately create in each individual’s swing an “effortless power” by maximizing strengths and minimizing weaknesses in the swing. This will minimize “powerless effort” and the frustrations that result from poor shot making. I believe in building the swing utilizing the pre swing fundamentals of grip, alignment, and setup.

I believe in creating an effective pre shot routine to enable the player to have a systematic and repeatable method of approaching every shot. Within this routine the player will develop their mental skills as well as their physical skills and enhance balance and rhythm that can be translated to the golf course.

It is my objective to communicate information in a relatable, retainable, and attainable way; to translate the rules of golf in a “hands on” practical approach which will increase interest and improve retention; and impart the passion and love of the game to increase each players enjoyment and long life in golf.
