In-House Instruction- Professional Coaches
Our coaching approach assures that novices can advance at their own pace, progressively laying a solid foundation in the fundamentals of golf. Our teaching methods are patient, straightforward, and suitable for beginners, covering everything from grasping the basics of grip, stance, and posture to mastering the mechanics of the golf swing. We can also provide instruction on other facets of the game, like pitching and chipping, making it a one-stop shop for improving your golf abilities.
Eric Hejl is our training professional at The Local Drive in Longmont. Eric has valuable experience as an instructor for a wide range of golfers including, beginners, juniors, low-handicappers, and women. He understands both the mental, strategic and physical aspects of the game and knows that every golfer has different goals/abilities and tries to cater his coaching to the needs of each individual he instructs. He offers several different instruction packages to choose from. You can learn more and schedule instruction on this website.
Club Selection An Afterthought
Selecting the appropriate club can be a daunting task for a beginning player. Our Trackman technology analyzes your swing, ball flight, and other important characteristics and uses and displays that information to recommend the right clubs for each shot! This allows you to play and practice knowing you have the right club selection and before you know it, you’ll know your distance for each and every club. Also, for your convenience, we have complimentary left and right handed clubs for all genders as well as premium demo clubs that can be rented for a small fee.
Practice & Learn On Your Terms
We fully understand how valuable time is in our fast-paced world of today and practice sessions that can be completed quickly, can give you a very valuable training advantage. The Local Drive allows you to make the most of your available time by offering online scheduling, so you can squeeze one in practically whenever you desire. No more time wasted driving to the course or waiting for tee times, just book your time slot on our website and show up a few minutes beforehand. Also, you can maximize your time by doing full-round simulations or quick 30-minute sessions, whichever best fits your schedule, day or night!

Our Trackman simulators are the perfect tool for learning and improving your golf swing. Practicing in a relaxed, controlled environment, with all the variables remaining consistent, really gives you the ability to hone in and focus on perfecting your golf swing.
