Training is adapted to a member's current fitness level and goals. Beginners can start by building foundational strength, mobility, balance, coordination, and healthy training habits before moving on to more advanced training.

Is a golf swing analysis worth it?

Absolutely. A swing evaluation helps you understand what's working in your swing and where you can improve. Instead of guessing what to work on, you'll receive feedback and a plan that helps you practice with more purpose.

What is a golf swing evaluation?

A golf swing evaluation is a one-on-one session with a Tee Box Richmond coach. During the evaluation, your coach looks at your swing mechanics, movement, and setup while using TrackMan to collect swing and ball data. You'll leave with a better understanding of your swing and recommendations for what to work on next.

What are the four critical features of a golf swing?

Grip, stance, posture, and swing path are four of the most important fundamentals of a golf swing. Paying attention to these areas can help you develop a more reliable swing and produce more consistent shots.

How accurate is Tee Box’s swing evaluation?

Your evaluation is based on more than just observation. TrackMan captures detailed swing and ball data during every shot, giving your coach information that isn't visible to the naked eye. This data, combined with a one-on-one evaluation, offers accurate feedback that's based on your unique swing.

What should I consider when buying golf clubs?

The best golf clubs are the ones that fit your game. Consider your skill level, swing speed, height, and the types of shots you typically hit. It's also important to consider shaft flex, club length, grip size, and club forgiveness.

Taking these factors into account can help you choose equipment that supports your game now and as you continue to improve.

What golf clubs should beginners buy?

If you're just getting started, a simple set of clubs is all you need. A driver or hybrid, a few mid-irons, a wedge, and a putter will help you learn every part of the game without making club selection feel overwhelming.

As your skills improve, you can add more clubs to your bag based on your game and playing style.

Which brand of golf clubs is the best?

There’s no single “best” brand; there is only the best fit for you. Top brands like Ping, Mizuno, Callaway, and TaylorMade all produce high-quality clubs, but each offers varied features, technologies, and performance benefits that may suit different players.

How much should I spend on golf clubs as a beginner?

A quality beginner set typically costs between $500 and $1,200, depending on the brands and clubs you choose. It's a good idea to set a budget before you start shopping and look for clubs that match your current abilities.

At Tee Box, we'll help you find equipment that fits your game without paying for features you may not need yet.

Should I bring my own clubs?

Yes, bring your own clubs to the fitting. That way, we can establish your baseline and measure changes against it.

If you don’t have clubs yet, don’t worry. We’ll ask you some questions about how you play, set you up with clubs that give us a useful starting point, and use those as your baseline throughout the fitting.

What if my current clubs end up being the right fit?

If your current clubs already work best for you, that’s great, and we’ll tell you. You’ll still leave with a complete assessment of your equipment and greater confidence that the clubs in your bag are helping your game, not limiting it.

Is the club fitting the same as the Golf Performance Assessment?

No, the 60-minute Golf Performance Assessment is the first part of your club fitting and is included at no additional cost. If you’ve already completed an assessment, let us know when you book, and you can move directly into the fitting process.

How long does a club fitting take?

Our club fitting takes about two hours. That includes the 60-minute Golf Performance Assessment at the start.

Why does a club fitting start with a movement screen?

Golf clubs should fit how you naturally swing and what you can consistently repeat. The movement screen gives your Tee Box Pro a clearer picture of how your body moves so they can recommend equipment that works with your swing instead of against it.

What happens during the Golf Performance Assessment?

Your Tee Box Pro evaluates your movement, swing, putting, and current equipment to establish a baseline of your game. Your assessment includes a movement screen, 30-swing analysis using TrackMan, Sportsbox AI 3D, and Smart2Move, a putting evaluation, and a club check.

How long does the assessment take?

Plan for about 60 minutes. Your Tee Box Pro will guide you through each part of the assessment, review your results with you, and recommend where to focus your improvement efforts.

Should I bring my own clubs?

Yes, if you have them. Bringing the clubs you currently play with also allows us to evaluate how well your equipment fits.

If you don’t have clubs yet, don’t worry. We’ll provide what you need to complete the assessment.

Is a Golf Performance Assessment the same thing as a club fitting?

No, but it is the first step we do for club fittings. If you move forward with a club fitting after your assessment, your results are already in Forj, so you won’t need to repeat the same evaluation.

Do I need to be an experienced golfer?

No, the assessment is designed for golfers of all skill levels!
