Keep it simple. Stick to proven fundamentals.
No gimmicks and no swing theory of the month. Gabe teaches the same short game fundamentals he relied on to win twice on the PGA Tour, and he keeps them simple enough to take straight to the course.
Lead with your hands
Gabe's non-negotiable: "Just lead with your hands and at least you're going to make clean contact."
Don't force it
Most amateurs try to hit at the ball or freeze over it. Both cause chunks and thins. A smooth, relaxed stroke and a little body turn do the work.
One shot, one landing spot
Pick the exact spot you want the ball to land and practise that one shot until it is reliable. Then add the next.
Who GabeGolf Lessons Are For
Professionals who need their short game to hold up under pressure, week in, week out.
Ambitious young players building the fundamentals that will carry them to college golf and beyond.
Committed amateurs who want to stop losing shots around the greens and lower their scores.
