Vermont Golf School - What's After a Trip to Golf School?

By Brian Weis

You walk off the course and you've had enough. Your game isn't good, and hasn't been for a while. You want more out of your swing and have decided it's finally time to do something about it.

You settle on Vermont Golf School because you know it'll be an opportunity to escape the madness of your home course, find a professional who can objectively evaluate you, and it's an experience you haven't taken on before.

The focus of this type of place is to go all-in on golf. There's a clear focus on getting to know your game and how it can be improved. You focus on your swing, your mental state, and how to be consistent.

During your stay, you'll have access to experienced instructors in the true sense of the word. You're close to them and can ask any questions, or even design your own lessons. It's a freer approach than you'll find other places and lets you control how things go.

Setting Up for Later
1 on 1 instruction is one component of a complete coaching experience. In a way, it's almost like the in-person lesson is an evaluation for how an instructor sends you off later on. During your time on the course, a professional gets to know you, where you struggle, and how you learn.

After, they use this information to plan the next lesson or design a regimen that fits your best path forward. A previous student embodied this idea perfectly, saying "Debbie and I definitely had an exceptional learning experience and Scott rebuilt our swings from scratch with obvious improvement. We learned a tremendous amount in a short time and it was work. Now the hard work of finding time to practice and put it all together starts. Scott worked us through great drills that we will take away with us and also strategies for managing our game on the course."

Using these custom plans is what needed to happen to keep pushing forward.

The Gift that Keeps Giving
You're bound to have some of those post-vacation blues after you leave Vermont Golf School. But, there's some joy to be had knowing you're coming out a better golfer with plenty of things to work on while you maintain that momentum.

When you work with professionals at these places, you are given analysis of your swing and lessons, as well as drills to work on. These two pieces are what you need to focus on to make the most of your trip.

Instruction at the Vermont Golf School is good and well, but you're limited to a set number of hours. Now you might be thinking what Gary though of his trip, you know that "On a scale of 1-10, the 3 days were a 12.", but there's more to be had.

Golf is about self-improvement and making strides even when away from the course. By fully digesting and working on the assignments given to you by your instructors, you sustain the improvements made in person.

If you expect to drop a few points from your handicap without incorporating their drills and tips into your standard routine, you're mistaken. You'll leave with exercises suited to your game and designed specifically for you. Use them. The instructors gave you the tools to make a big jump, and that's the most any professional can.

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.
