Top 100 Golf Courses

1.) Decide what you are willing to spend before looking. The best schools charge in the low to mid 1000's, but do offer great amenities as well as highly professional instructors. Most of the best schools offer great vacation packages that are included in the price. Ask about special pricing. Some schools may drop their prices if they need students. If you are willing to commute, prices can be as low as $300.00.
2.) Look for 2 to 1 teaching ratio with 1 to 1 being ideal. Never use more than a 4 to 1 ratio unless you cannot afford the higher price schools.
3.) The school's instructors should be seasoned professionals that are highly qualified. Make sure at least 2 of the teaching professionals are recognized in the golf world/community. Use the internet search engines to research names of the instructors being used at the school you are considering.
4.) If you choose a school that includes accommodations and transportation included in the price, research the hotel as well. It is always better to have accommodations close to the golf course you are receiving lessons from. Most of the great schools will cater to your needs because word of mouth is there best advertisement for return business.
5.) There are certain schools that concentrate on certain aspects of teaching. Do you need work on your putting? Choose a school that is strong in that area of the game. If you need work on your swing, choose accordingly. Golf instruction websites will indicate if they specialize to certain weaknesses.
6.) The golf school should provide a specific lesson plan for your swing. They should tailor it specifically for you and not for everyone else. There is no way to research this other than word of mouth.
7.) The school should provide unlimited follow up via email or phone. I think this is probably the most important because it shows how genuine they are in improving your game.
8.) Look for testimonials. Do not rely on testimonials on their own brochures or websites. Look for ratings from other outside sources. These may not be available, but look anyway. It is a true measure of the school. Word of mouth is very powerful.
9.) If you should also think of the school as a vacation the accommodations and surrounding area should fit your lifestyle off the course. Also, look for golf schools that provide unlimited golf after your teaching sessions are over. Be sure to get your moneys worth.
10.) If you cannot afford the price of a golf school check the websites for free advice. There are many websites out there that give free lessons and tips. Some even provide video demonstrations.
The Internet is a great place to research the golf schools available in your area that meet your needs. Here are some keywords you can use when performing your golf school search:
Golf schools, Golf instruction, Golf swing, Free Golf tips, Golf lessons

Your Tour Guide to South Africa

In 2006 I escorted a group of Natural Golfers for a 20 day tour to South Africa. As well as enjoying great golf, we discovered why South Africa’s natural beauty and wildlife leaves its visitors mesmerized, why it’s possible to afford its luxury and why it’s the golf and natural adventure capital of the world. The friendly people, rich culture and yes, great golf made this the unforgettable trip of a lifetime. Read on about our journey, one that changed us beyond our expectations.

We started off in Cape Town, Mother City of South Africa, and the Western Cape, which is regarded as one of the most beautiful regions in the world. We took the tram to the top of the impressive Table Mountain, from which vantage point we could view the Twelve Apostles mountain range and the beautiful city spread out around us.

We played golf at Erinvale and Pearl Valley in the Winelands of Stellenbosch which is topographically similar in many ways to Napa Valley, California. Of course we did do a day of wine tasting since we had a ‘designated driver’, so a good time was had by all. Next we drove along the Garden Route, a scenic stretch of the southern coast of South Africa. It includes towns such as Mossel Bay, Knysna, Oudtshoorn, Plettenberg Bay and the town of George, home to the famous Fancourt Golf Resort. We stayed a few days to play the Links Course, home of the 2003 President’s Cup and the beautiful Montagu Golf Course.

We also enjoyed a ride on the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe, South Africa’s last remaining passenger steam train along the ocean en route to play yet another great golf course, Pezula. Similar to Pebble Beach, close to the ocean up on a cliff, the big difference is on Pezula there are baboons that come and take your golf ball!

South Africa: A Natural Golfer's Nature Paradise

Leopard Creek – an Incredible Course

From the ocean to the jungle, we then had the privilege of playing Leopard Creek, which is one of the most incredible golf courses in the world. Some parts of the golf course sit alongside Kruger National Park. The views are wild, to say the least. With crocodiles in the water between the ninth and 18th greens, and with the 13th green sitting about 50 feet above the bed of the Crocodile River, it was quite an adventure. We were the only group out that day. It was like having our own private country club.

Our next stop was Sabi Sabi, which means “Danger-Danger” in the world famous Kruger National Park which is the largest National Park in the world. I had told the group that we would be roughing it for few days while on safari. Little did they know that my idea of roughing it would be a Five Star Resort! This resort was totally inclusive. Each day we had an AM and PM game drive where we were hoping to see all the big five. The Big Five in Sabi Sabi are the Water Buffalo, Elephant, Rhino, Lion and Cheetah. When it was time to depart not one group member wanted to leave. They liked my idea of “roughing it.” Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

Our last stop was Sun City, home to the internationally prestigious Nedbank Million Dollar Golf Challenge. We played both The Gary Player Golf Course, and the desert-style Lost City Golf Course with crocodiles at the 13th hole, which provided excitement for all. Sun City is renowned as South Africa’s premier holiday resort offering a multitude of attractions and activities. It resembles Las Vegas, African style.
