It is Paxton’s belief that the needs of each individual student from a swing perspective are spectrum based. Some players need improved geometry and reduced degrees of freedom while others need better biomechanical function for improved dynamics and speed production, some need both! Improving overall performance can be accomplished through refinement of skillsets, accessing skillsets under pressure and adjusting to strategic outlooks. It is the role of the golf instructor to determine where on the spectrum the student lies and and where they need to move to make the largest improvement in score.

Paxton strives to build world class movement patterns, and utilizing top coaching techniques, Paxton has seen extreme success from beginners all the way to Tour players. Through these things Paxton has developed an exciting lesson program for Pelican Point’s members and its guests. Paxton looks forward to working with you in the future.
