North Carolina Golf School - What You Need from a Teacher

North Carolina Golf School - What You Need from a Teacher

By Brian Weis


When we were growing up, we had teachers that showed up hours early to prep lesson plans and put students in positions to succeed. We also had teachers who showed up disheveled, disengaged, and only for the paycheck.

Teachers in the first group took the time to learn their students. They creatively designed programs to get them from start to finish with the least disruptions. It is because of that extra effort that they excelled beyond others who received cookie cutter instruction with no attention to detail.

When it comes to golf, the same principle applies. You need an instructor that knows your game, that knows you excel off the tee, but struggle around the greens. When a golf coach takes the time to engage with you and incorporate new feedback, that's when you shed strokes and watch your handicap drop.

In North Carolina, there's a few choices, but none better than the Bird Golf North Carolina Golf Schools.

We say this for a variety of reasons, but they all revolve around a central theme-putting golfers in the driver seat. Top notch facilities? Check. I mean we're talking Fox Fire and Pinehurst, not random munis. Elite lodging? Class, comfort, and proximity-all checked off. Top notch resources? Only the most modern and advanced, check. Instructors who care? Yet again, check.

A Case Study
At the North Carolina Golf Schools, you might be fortunate enough to work with a Pro like Scott Ezell. Scott's story is simple enough. He played in college and the pros, and is now bringing knowledge accumulated over the last few decades to the average weekend warrior. You know, the ones looking to sure their game up and beat their friends the next time they play together.

He also works with pros and celebrities alike, but that's a story for a different day.

Ever get a lesson and the instructor gives you three things to work on simultaneously? Shouldn't work, doesn't work, can't work. Staying simple is the key to transformational success, and that's the exact approach taken by those at North Carolina Golf Schools.

Scott uses a "one thing at a time" and "one thought at a time" mentality when working with golfers who shoot in the 110s or 70s. For you to drop 5 handicap points or your average putts from 2.5 to 2, you have to break things down to build them up. It goes grip, then alignment, then swing path. Not grip, alignment, and swing path at once.

What the Students Say
What does it matter if a random voice tells us someone is good at their job? Not much. Instead, we rely on the experiences of real individuals, the ones just like us pursuing a few more yards and a bit more consistency. One student, Jerry, had this to say about Scott Ezell. "He was patient but persistent about improving our golf game. We finished feeling like we got exactly what we signed up for. We look forward using what we learned to improve and enjoy the game more."

A strong and steady approach helps golfers achieve their goals. Instructors like Scott get to know you and how you learn. For that reason alone, a committed instructor is just as valuable as the material they're equipped with.

About: Brian Weis


Brian Weis Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
