Jeff Lockman, Director of Golf Instruction
Play-a-Round Golf is pleased to announce that Jeff Lockman has joined the Play-a-Round Golf family as our Director of Golf Instruction. Jeff is a native of Bryn Mawr, PA and resides in Malvern with his wife, Lisa and three children.
A swing coach for 20 years, Jeff has worked with multiple PGA and LPGA Tour players. He has given over 20,000 private lessons. Teaching the game at private, public, resort and indoor facilities, Jeff is well-rounded and an exceptional communicator.
Jeff teaches both the one and two-plane swings taught by his mentor, Jim Hardy (The Plane Truth). Jeff believes if his students focus on the well-defined parameters of either the one or two plane swings, they will enjoy golf and “feel” the correct swing and body movements.
Utilizing live video and golf swing analysis software with every private lesson, you will see your movements versus models on the PGA and LPGA Tours. Lesson videos are saved and archived on our servers, and will be accessable via the internet from anywhere.
With the belief that playing good golf enhances a person’s life, Jeff’s energy and enthusiasm will serve you well.
