Meet CitySwing instructors

  • Kendall Thomas, Director of Instruction

  • JD Coulon, PGA

  • Demarkis Cooper, PGA

  • Trevor Alvy

Step 1: Set your goal

Most golfers improve faster when lessons match a clear goal. Here are four common starting points:

  • New golfer: learn grip, setup, contact, and a repeatable “go-to” swing.

  • Weekend golfer: reduce slices and chunks, build consistency, start scoring better.

  • Handicap goal: identify the one or two skills that move your scores (short game, driver, approach control).

  • Junior golfer (ages 7–17): fundamentals, safe technique, and confidence, with coaching built for young players.

Write your goal in one sentence before booking. Example: “I want to stop slicing my driver,” or “I want to break 90 this year.”

Step 2: Pick a lesson format

CitySwing offers multiple ways to learn. The right format depends on how often you can practice, and how quickly you want to progress.

Option A: Start with one lesson

If you want to test the coaching style first, you can book a single lesson through the lessons page or shop listing. Start here: https://www.cityswing.com/lessons

Option B: Commit with 5 or 10 lessons

If your goal is measurable improvement, lesson packages are built for momentum. CitySwing’s package page lets you choose 5 or 10 sessions and select Downtown DC or Reston Town Center: https://www.cityswing.com/shop/p/cityswing-lesson-packages

Option C: Use a membership to stay consistent

If you want ongoing practice plus lessons, memberships are designed to be customized and month-to-month. See details: https://www.cityswing.com/memberships

Option D: Junior lessons (ages 7–17)

CitySwing explicitly notes that instructors are trained to work with junior golfers ages 7–17. If you’re booking for a junior, confirm the junior lesson option on: https://www.cityswing.com/lessons

Comparison table

Best for Recommended starting point Why it works Where to book
First-time golfers One lesson (or the $26 January promo) Get fundamentals and a clear next step Swing Into 2026 or Lessons
Golfers who want consistent improvement 5-lesson package Enough repetition to build habits Lesson Packages
Goal-driven golfers (break 100, 90, or 80) 10-lesson package or membership Coaching plus structured practice Memberships
Junior golfers (ages 7–17) Junior lessons Technique and confidence built for young players Lessons

Step 3: What to expect in your first lesson

Exact sessions vary by instructor, but most first lessons focus on getting you an immediate improvement and a simple plan to keep going.

Typical first-lesson flow

  • Quick goal check: what you want to fix, plus a baseline look at your swing.

  • One key change: coaches often prioritize one high-impact adjustment (setup, grip, path, face, or contact).

  • Guided reps: drills supported by training aids and simulator feedback.

  • Takeaway: one drill to practice, plus what to book next.

If you’re using the January promo, treat it like a “starting line” lesson: ask your instructor what to focus on over the next 30 days, and whether a package or membership makes sense for your goal.

Step 4: Build a simple improvement plan

Most golfers get better faster when they pair lessons with a small amount of consistent practice. A practical structure looks like this:

  1. Lesson: learn the change and the drill.

  2. Practice: do short, focused reps (even 20 minutes helps).

  3. Follow-up lesson: confirm the change, then add the next skill.

Suggested cadence

  • Beginner: 1 lesson every 1–2 weeks for the first month, then reassess.

  • Intermediate: 2 lessons per month plus one practice session per week.

  • Junior (ages 7–17): keep it consistent and fun, then increase structure as confidence grows.
