Class A PGA professional, teaching since 1993

Jeff Copeland

  • PGA of America, Class A
  • Quarter Century Club

Jeff has been a Class A PGA professional for 28 years and has been teaching since 1993, which makes him a member of the PGA’s Quarter Century Club. That is a long time spent working out how to explain the same handful of things in whatever way finally makes them land for a particular person.

His emphasis is as much on how you play the course as on the swing itself, which is why the playing lesson is worth knowing about: a swing that behaves on the range and abandons you on the first tee is a different problem, and it needs a different fix.

He also follows the science of the swing and the short game closely, and he enjoys the reading: new work tends to turn up in a lesson once he is satisfied it holds up with a real golfer rather than only on paper. He is a heck of a putter himself, which is worth knowing if the strokes you are losing are the short ones.

Best for: anyone whose range game never survives contact with an actual course.

How Jeff builds a swing

Jeff does not change everything at once. He looks for the one change that knocks down two or three more, like a row of dominoes, and builds your swing from the ground up, a step at a time.

In the studio you see it as it happens: ball and club data, video from several angles, and force plates that show where your weight goes. Then he takes it out on the course, where the swing has to hold up.
