Personalized Golf Instruction.
"What other people may find in poetry, I find in the flight of a good drive!"
Arnold Palmer
My name is Michael Stocking. I am a Class "A" PGA Member and FULL-Time instructor at Encinitas Ranch GC as well as a Brand Ambassador for Cobra/Puma Golf. Why did I highlight FULL-Time? Because teaching Golf is all I do! Luckily for you and my familiy, I am really good at it! I have been helping golfers have more fun and play better golf since 1987. In that time, I estimate that I have given well over 20,000 golf lessons!
I give private individual lessons at the south end of the driving range at Enicinitas Ranch GC. Throughout my career, I have learned to expertly incorporate technology into my instruction. I use a State of the Art Computerized system that includes Multiple Camera Digital 200fps Video Analysis & Slow Motion stop frame video. Upon conclusion of your lesson, I upload a Summary Lesson video to your Private On-Line Locker within my website. This allows the convenience of being able to review your golf lessons and really help to remember the key fundamentals of YOUR swing!
I make learning golf Simple and Fun. My personalized private instruction is designed to help you enjoy learning and to build a solid foundation and understanding for
YOUR INSIDE PATH TO A BETTER SWING!
I am so EXCITED about my NEW Left Handed Cobra Equipment!
OMG!I just got my new KING Forged Tec 3 Iron! I wish you could hear how solid it sounds! What a great club! I ordered it with the Matrix OZIK Red Tie 65 graphite shaft!
If you didn't know, I have had multiple surgeries on my left wrist. My last surgery was in Oct of 2016. After cleaning out the debris and drilling a couple holes into my Lunate bone, the surgeon needed to do an additional surgery and shorten the Ulna of my left arm. At impact during my right handed swing, my Ulna was striking the Lunate bone in my wrist and creating damage to the Lunate. Unfortunately, the Lunate bone is no longer getting enough blood. As such, I have tremendous pain during my right handed impact. The SOLUTION! I have been learning to play left handed since August of this year. So far, while I do get frustrated on the course, I am happy with my progress. My low round is 95 playing at 6800yds. I have also shot 96 at just under 6900 yds. In order to bring these scores down, I will need to hit my tee shots more consistently solid and 30 - 50 yrds farther.
This my arm 6 days after surgery! Ouch!
