Coaches vs. Teachers
As coaches, we lead the improvement process with the goal of improving player performance on the golf course. This requires a long-term focus on the whole game. It is a stark contrast with swing gurus, who focus on the swing. A picture-perfect swing may or may not result in improved on-course performance.
Think of the development of a player in a team sport like football. Coaches consistently supervise that player's practice over extended periods, from Pop Warner to high school, to college to the pros. With a coach, players receive feedback at extended practices multiple times per week. Contrast this with taking a single lesson when a player misses a field goal.
We have demonstrated that a coaching approach is superior to a transactional teaching approach, both for student results and business success.
YOU NEED COACHING
A coach is defined as "someone who takes you from where you are to where you want to go." When it comes to sports, including golf, this implies a long-term relationship during which the coach oversees a player's overall development. This allows the athlete to perform at higher and higher levels.
At Imagen Golf, we provide our players with a continuous process of assessment, development and integration of skills that encompass the whole game - everything that affects their scores - so they can go from where they are today to where they want to be.
AS COACHES WE ASSESS
What are your goals? What scores do you currently shoot? How has all this changed since last season? Which part of your game offers the best opportunity to improve your score right now? What will need to be addressed over time? We use technology, stats and our experience to evaluate where you are and to determine exactly what you need to do to push your game forward.
AS COACHES WE DEVELOP
Whatever you need to develop - putting, short game, wedge play, long game, playing skills, we can help. Our assessment process tells us which skills to address, and which elements of those skills need the most work. For example, is it your technique, your decision-making or your self-management? Whatever your weak link is, we help you to both acquire and to master the skills you will need to turn a weakness into a strength. From motor skills to the mental game we know how to push your game forward.
AS COACHES WE INTEGRATE
It is not enough to make swing improvements on the range if you can't bring them to the course. And it is not enough to help you develop a versatile short game in the practice area if you don't know which of your new shots to play when you get on the course. After we help you develop the many skills needed to reach your full potential, we help you integrate all of those skills so that performance on the course can be both effortless and effective.
We deliver the swing and the game you've ALWAYS IMAGEN-ed!

About Lauren
I've been practicing yoga for over 25 years and have found the practice to bring balance to my mind and body. Yoga is such a part of my life that I'm aware of the subtleties of movement, whether standing, sitting or walking. The physical practice of yoga provides a way to stretch and strengthen the body making it more prepared to move, to play and to live life to the fullest.
Becoming a yoga teacher was the next step in my yoga journey and I love sharing my passion of connecting the breath with movement. Getting the body in alignment will allow safe and free movement in your golf swing and game - as well as your everyday life.
