Michael Lortan, a USGTF Golf Teaching Professional, is passionate about helping golfers of all levels—beginner to advanced—improve their game. Offering personalized lessons to develop skills from tee to green, all sessions are held at Coyote Ridge Golf Club in Carrollton.
Most golfers overcomplicate the game by self-diagnosing swing issues, relying on untrained advice, or mimicking pros they see on TV and social media—often worsening their performance.
My goal is to create a framework of 5 key principles to help golfers build their skills:
1. Master a Pre-Shot Routine: Focus on setup, aim, and alignment fundamentals.
2. Simplify Swing Basics: Understand the movements needed for a consistent swing.
3. Trust the Process: Learn to focus thoughts and avoid overthinking during the swing.
4. Strengthen the Mental Game: Make smarter decisions by understanding course odds.
5. Prioritize Quality Practice: Emphasize process over outcome with patience and purpose.
While they acknowledge the mental side of golf, many still approach the game like professionals, leading to poor decision-making. Nearly every new student cites "consistency" as their goal.
For the new or rookie golfer, a simple core of fundamentals, and a logical progression through the movements required to play, establishes the platform on which to rapidly develop the basic skills and etiquette to progress onto the course, and into group play.
