When people think of golf, they think of sportsmanship, fair play and great camaraderie, so it is easy to see why golf attracts players from all walks of life and why it is often the game of choice for important social and business dealings. Now, are you someone who has freely said, “I don’t know how to play golf, but I’ve always really wanted to.” Well, you’re in luck, these classes are for people just like you! Our San Antonio golf lessons are designed to teach this fantastic sport in a way that will be fun and more comfortable than you could ever imagine. With our style of instruction, we take people who have never held a golf club and teach them the skills to play, and to play well. 

HOW MANY CLASSES ARE THERE?

In five, weekly one hour sessions with golf equipment provided (or you may bring your own), you’ll enjoy a comprehensive education on the ins and outs of a successful golf outing. From making a tee time, what to do when you arrive at the course, what clubs to use, and even how to mark your ball when you successfully get to the green!

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

Our series of golf lessons in San Antonio will guide you through a natural progression of learning the different swings, strokes, and shots. You will start with the basics of putting, move on to chipping, and use those skills to develop your full swing. Once you have mastered your swing mechanics, our team will walk you through the process of picking which clubs are best for each shot. This of course will include the breakdown of the different irons, wedges, and woods at your disposal. Believe us, successfully hitting a tee shot long and straight takes practice, but with a well taught fundamental swing from earlier classes, you’ll be mastering that swing in no time! 

JUDGEMENT FREE!

We pride ourselves on making sure that we foster a judgement-free zone during all our sessions, and we will prove that it’s never too late to learn to play golf. Once you graduate from learn to play golf, we are confident that you’ll be good enough and comfortable enough to make the golf course a place to look forward to. These classes are designed to be fun and offer a step-by-step approach to playing golf for the first time.

KC Lim, Director of Better Golf - The Bandit Golf Club

San Antonio native, KC Lim first discovered his passion for golf while playing in high school at Churchill and Reagan. While KC was on the team, they went to state each year…and won the tournament each year. After graduating, he went on to play college golf at St. Mary's University where he won 7 college tournaments, including 4 tournaments during his last semester, including their conference tournament. 

In 2007, KC decided to chase his dream of turning pro. He played on a number of different tours. From 2007 to 2011, KC played on the Adam's Pro Tour, in 2012 The National Pro Tour and in 2013 the PGA Tour Latin America. 2014 was KC’s breakout year, where he chased the PGA Tour by doing Monday qualifying. He and three other golfers were documented on YouTube in a series called “TourQuest”. Now, with some pro experience under his belt, KC went on to qualify for the Web.com Tour in 2015 (now called the Korn Ferry Tour), PGA Tour China in 2016 and rounded out his professional career going back to Qualifying School in 2017, where he qualified for the PGA Tour Latin America again. 

KC joined the Foresight Golf family in 2016 as an Assistant Golf Professional at The Republic Golf Club in San Antonio, where he later became the Director of Better Golf. Joining The Bandit Golf Club in 2020, KC introduces juniors and adults to this great game through our Learn to Play classes, while also helping our passionate golfers improve their game with private lessons.

What Our Golf Instruction Clients Are Raving About...

From Thomas Taylor:  
I started working with Foresight Golf last year to improve my game and lower my scores. I had started playing individual golf tournaments and my goals were to be more consistent and lower my handicap.  They changed my approach to the game and given me more confidence and consistent results when it counts.  After I began the program, I had one win and 3 other Top 3 finishes.  More importantly my handicap went from a 12 to a 6 in less than 5 months. I can't say enough about the admiration and respect I have for the program and passion to share their knowledge of the game of golf. Thank you for offering this exceptional program! It's given me a renewed excitement about taking my game to the next level, The Foresight Golf Way.

From Gilbert Charles: 
Since the time I have been getting golf instruction under Foresight's Play Better Golf program, I've been able to make significant changes in my golf game. I would like to thank Foresight Golf for implementing this program as it has made a significant difference in my approach to the game of golf. I do not know how many emails you have received about the program but as I played a round of golf the other day, I could overhear other golfers discuss the positive changes this same program had made in their golf game! Thank you for Play Better Golf the Foresight Golf Way.

From Vincent Briseno: 
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Foresight Golf and everyone who runs the 'Play Better Golf' program. They are helping me build a repeatable swing I can take from the driving range to the golf course. The quality of instruction is what I would expect at a country club and for a fraction of the price. As an added bonus they've introduced my daughter to the game and she looks forward to the free junior clinics for kids on Saturdays. If you are a beginner trying to learn the game or a single digit handicapper looking to shoot par, the 'Play Better Golf' program will help you achieve your goals and enjoy the game even more.

From Ernest Casanova: 
I cannot begin to tell you the renewed energy I have after spending 20 minutes with my Play Better Golf Instructor. What a wonderful teacher, person and program. I had never taken a lesson due to the thought that I had seen many individuals take lessons from other instructors and the teachings were all over the place leaving me to think that I was better off by teaching myself. That has all changed. I have surrendered my approach to this program & its concepts due to the fundamental approach to the swing. I was a high 70's player and now with this instruction, I am primed and have the confidence to see myself playing in the 60's. I have recommended him to ALL of my friends, knowing that he can help ANYONE that plays the game. Foresight has made it so simple to understand and the cost of this program is the second best part of all of this. I can't tell you enough about my renewed love for the game.

From Dale Wiese: 
Several weeks ago I was at the range hitting golf balls when I approached one of the professionals to inquire about golf lessons. I had a horrible shank over the past 10 years and had taken lessons from two different PGA golf instructors with minimal success. I figured since the first lesson was free I had nothing to lose. I have had several lessons now and for the most part my shank is gone. I continually go back so I can keep refining my game. My instructor certainly knows the golf swing but more important he knows how to instruct the student. He thoroughly enjoys his job and he cares. The overall approach that both he and Foresight Golf have (paying an initial fee of $50 and the $10 for every lesson thereafter) is not only great for the golfer trying to improve his game but its smart golf business. Better golfers will play more, play faster, and the golf industry is sustained.

From Dr. Kerry Ragbir: 
I've been participating in the program over the last 3 months. I have been golfing for 4 years and this is the first time I have really understood my swing, and more importantly, the proper fundamentals of the golf swing. My scores have come down from the high 90's to the low 80's in 3 months! That is a full 10 to 15 shot reduction, the results are phenomenal. The true benefit is the control. Even without the scores and the distance improvements, the consistency and control I have is incredible. No other coach has had these results, and I believe what makes the difference is not only the new knowledge and methods, but also the communication. I'm not overwhelmed with the complexity, science, or physics of the swing when my instructor explains. This is what differentiates this program and my instructor from other coaches. He has a gift in being able to communicate through verbal language and more importantly body language, to connect the "words" with the "feel". I will continue to take lessons from this program as much as possible in achieving my goal of being a par golfer. I feel blessed to learn from Foresight's Play Better Golf program, and I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to begin or develop a mastery of golf.
