Start Playing Your Best Today

Being a member of Team Golf Lab at King Valley is more than just taking golf lessons. It is the only program of its kind that offers amateur golfers the opportunity to be coached like a PGA/LPGA Tour player.

Our scientific-based programs are world-class and generate performance improvement to golfers everywhere, but most importantly IT’S FUN!

Four Pillars of Performance

Technical

Each golfer will have their own personal Key Performance Indicator (KPI) within the technical pillar and all training will focus on it's improvement with a higher focus in the offseason.

Equipment

It is essential for every athlete to have properly fit equipment. All clubs will be assessed to ensure they have the correct lie, loft, length, weight, and flex. As a golfer’s swing evolves so too must the clubs.

Tactical

Learning to hit a variety of shot shapes, as well as their practical application on course, is an important advantage to enrolling in a Coaching Program. Our access to King Valley Golf Club will allow vast improvement due to increased contact time at outdoor practices.

Physical

Each golfer will have their own personalized physical training program, driven by the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) body screens developed during their Baseline Testing. The physical program will help facilitate improvement of each golfers' KPI.

Focus on What Really Matters... Your Score

“When I came Carson, it was because I knew I had to change my swing in order to get better as I was not able to win any club events. After working with you for over a year I finally won! Thank you for all your help and patience with me I could have not done it otherwise” - Sam Coccari - King Valley Member - Sr Club Champion (2021 and 2022)
“In the year and a half I’ve been here I’ve lost 5 off my index! It’s not just about the swing it’s learning how not to turn 1 bad shot into 3! Carson has really helped me understand how f%!#$ing hard this game is but how to overcome the challenges” - Brad Gilliland – Kings Riding Member
“I have taken a lot of lessons in my life as I have always wanted to get better and I love a challenge! I always thought it made sense to get advice from the experts — lots of amateurs love to give advice (advice is like sharing travel photos one should probably keep it to ones self), but I know firsthand its better to get a subject matter expert to weigh in. Carson brought a level of detail and insight I had never, ever experienced - driven by data not opinion. It changed my game as I can now hit the ball further at 62 than when I was 40, and lowered my HCP by 3 strokes in 2 months. I’m enjoying the journey and look forward to see what’s around the corner. Thank you Carson!” - Sandy French
"I wanted to take my game to the next level, but knew I lacked the knowledge and awareness of how to do so. The Golf Lab has the methodology, technology and most importantly - the ability to explain/teach in a way that allows the golfer to understand and manage their own unique golf swing. I'm happy to say that I've reached and exceeded all my goals that were set out in the initial plan" - Jason Vanmali - CPGA Member 2020 Class
