ABOUT JJ WOOD
World-Class Training Programs For All Ages & Abilities
I believe the same concepts apply for beginners to professional players on the PGA Tour. I educate and coach golfers through a strategic process to play their best golf.
I first learned the game after moving to Yuma, AZ. I was self taught with the guidance of my local PGA Professional. After receiving a golf scholarship and later playing with the best players on the PGA Tour, I learned the key concepts that are extremely simple and make golf a lot more enjoyable for golfers of all ability levels.
COACHING PHILOSOPHY
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PROCESS
Why do golfers train different from athletes in other sports? Why is golf so frustrating and mental? Just like other sports, golfers need to train a specific way to improve their performance on the course and lower their scores.
My education background includes a Master’s Degree in Sport Psychology For Peak Performance. I believe swing technique is only a fraction of what golfers need to improve to achieve their potential.
All my training programs include all the resources you need, at an affordable cost. I include education (you can access online), customized and strategic practice plans for my players so they have every opportunity to be the best player they want to be.

Player Development
Traditional golf instruction includes technical coaching. Just like other sports, golfers need to train a specific way to improve their performance on the course. I include educational, practice plans and other resources for my players so they have every opportunity to be the best player they want to be.
Skill Development
The missing link for most golfers is the ability to apply technique training from golf lessons into skills on the course to shoot lower scores. I combine skill development practice with all lesson programs
