Golf Instruction

 

 

Brent Johnson is the Director of Instruction at the Brent Johnson Golf Academy.  Brent has competed in 5 PGA Club Professional championships and 2 Senior Club Professional championships and also captured the prestigious West Penn Open in 2000.  His passion for improving golf games is unparalleled.  Brent teaches all levels of players including juniors, beginners, college golfers, and low handicap golfers.  His teaching knowledge combined with his playing experiences will make your lesson a great learning experience.

Our Academy’s philosophy about golf is informative and simple.  Students will leave each lesson with a clear understanding of what you are doing and simple solutions to fix it.  We judge each individual separately and give him or her the help that best fits and is most likely to lead to improvement.  Each student will learn how to practice, how to play the golf course, and how to analyze your golf game to find areas that need the most improvement.

PRIVATE INSTRUCTION

 Individual private instruction is available as well if you prefer the one-on-one experience.  Brent has a tremendous amount of experience in developing golfers so they are able to diagnose their own problems when they get away from the lesson tee.   Brent works with the individual based on what they want to work on in their swing.  Don’t forget the short game as this is the more often overlooked aspect of the game.  Lindenwood offers 2 putting greens, chipping green, and bunker to assist you in improving this part of your game.

Technology such as Video, Flight Scope, and the new V1 Pressure Mat are utilized in the lesson to aid the pupil in learning the game.  Come experience a lesson at Lindenwood and you’ll see why we are a leader in golf instruction and are serious in improving your golf game.

Another aspect to improving your golf game is having the proper equipment.  We offer demo clubs for you to hit and experience what’s new in the latest equipment for 2023.  Lindenwood offers numerous demo days from major manufacturers such as Taylor Made, Callaway, and others.  These days occur throughout the summer so if you cannot attend one, there is a good chance you can catch another at a later date.  If you have further questions regarding equipment, please contact Brent - 304-670-3233 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
