ROK Golf Instruction Program

Challenging the status quo.  Breaking the mold.

ROK Golf was created from an outside perspective and examined the "why's" of the traditional golf instruction model.  Why are they fixed length?  Why are the so expensive?  Why do they rarely include technology?  Why is there so much time between lessons?  Similarly we challenged the unfortunate modern trend of "YouTube instruction" where students rely on remote video sessions or simply just videos.  Ironically there is a common factor between the old and new; both were designed to be the lowest cost, most profitable and most convenient for the instructors and not designed to be the most effective, or affordable, for the students.  We didn't like that, so we came up with something better, something that puts the student first and makes their betterment our primary goal.

The ROK Golf model is built upon a base of continuous guided practice / play combined with shorter focused swing lessons all part of a holistic golf development program.  A key differentiation with the ROK Golf model is that sessions do not have preset amount of time with a pro.  We will use as much instruction as needed to get the work done for that session, and most critically, that is all you are charged for!

Lesson time could be 5 - 45 minutes and may include swing training, course management, drills or training with Trackman.  If the student is swinging great that day... it may be 0 minutes!  If the player is having trouble, it could be more but in either case you are only paying for the time used with the pro.  This allows that bucket of minutes to last a very long time, meaning that most sessions are with professional guidance which maximizes results.

Technology Amplifies Lesson and Practice Effectiveness 

Every swing you take at ROK Golf includes information empowering the player to know, not guess, what went right and what went wrong. The powerful combination of data and video are the key to learning quickly and being able to practice independently!  Once educated and trained by our professional staff, players know what to numbers should be, what positions they should achieve and most importantly WHY!

Often what a player "thinks" they do and what they actually do are very different.  This is why a typical player can waste time and money on a traditional range thinking they are doing what the instructor said, but in reality they are not even close and end up burning in a bad movement that must be corrected later.  At ROK, you see every swing through date and video so you know if you are hitting the mark, or not.

ROK Golf - The fastest way to get better 

Learning at ROK Golf is faster and more efficient than any other way to practice.  Here is why:

1. Powered by TrackMan - Look behind PGA Pros when they practice and what do you see... Trackman.  Why?  It is the best.  The data provided by TrackMan is extraordinarily powerful taking all guesswork out of why the golf ball is going where it is going.
2. Multiple Swing Videos - Every ROK Golf bay is equipped with multiple cameras (Down the Line and Face On) with the ability for you to add more easily with a iPhone 9 or newer.  Seeing your swing from multiple views is a true game changer!  You may "think" you are doing something different, but when you see it you know!
3. Controlled Environment - Practicing at ROK eliminates the variables that you get when you practice outdoors.  The hitting conditions are the same every time, the golf ball is the same golf you play with on the golf course, and you don't have mother nature to contend with while practicing.  Did that ball go right because of the wind, mud on the ball, a cut on the ball or my swing... you don't know outside but you do at ROK!
4. Professional Guidance - The Professional staff at ROK make sure you understand your TrackMan numbers and how to interpret them.  The first time you are in our staff is going to make sure you know what kind of numbers you are looking for that match up with your goals.  In addition our staff is here to make sure that YOU get better so when we see something in your swing, we let you know (if you want of course).
