South Carolina Golf School - New Golfers, Seasoned Golfers

By Brian Weis

There are a few buckets of golfers you'll find at any given course:

>> The brand-new golfer
>> The low handicapper who hasn't see a triple digit score since the first year they played
>> The casual, bogey making, golfer

We hardly mean these are the only sets of golfers out there, but they fill up the majority of a course. What's difficult for most is that when they try to play with each other, it's hard to imagine oneself in the others shoes.

A scratch golfer can't understand for the life of them why a person uses 3-wood from deep rough and beginners dream of the day they can drive the ball 250. And if you're in a friend group that includes golfers from every level, forget about it. It's hard to play together and even harder to pass along what knowledge might be helpful.

If this sounds like you, the only solution is an environment where the instructor has experience with a wide berth of golfers and can tailor their teaching to the crowd. For this, we like the South Carolina Golf School.

Who's There?
At the South Carolina Golf School, there's pros that get it and golfers trying to get it. The biggest difference between your most skilled friend and the professionals there? They're highly trained and have years of experience designing golf instruction that caters to the individual strengths and weaknesses of golfers who seek them out. Kind of a big difference in our eyes.

The relationships are casual, but the results are not. At a facility like this, it's not uncommon for beginner golfers to gain 20 yards and drop 5 strokes in a week. Significant results are harder to come by as you improve, but progress never stalls with instructors like this.

A student, Ashby, described the instructor experience as "absolutely amazing the amount of instruction he gave me, and what struck me the most was that he more than matched my intensity and desire to improve, and that is saying a lot."

For a new player, it's all about looking at golf the right way. Ashby added, "For someone in my shoes that is new to the game of golf, I feel more than fortunate to have experienced this time with Greg. I left the school with a brand-new outlook on the game."

Getting Over the Hump
We mention it above, but it should not be lost on anyone reading this the value the South Carolina Golf School can have on an advanced golfer. As your handicap lowers, it becomes harder and harder to make major improvements. For the most part, this is because you're becoming consistent and the flaws aren't as big.

When you work with a professional, they're able to pick up on nuances and minor problems holding you back. With high handicappers, the issues are easy to pick up. With better golfers, you need an objective, knowledgeable viewer to push you in the right direction. That's what happens when you put yourself in the eyes of top-tier professionals.

About: 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.
