Class Begins August 17, 2026
There's a club in your bag you've stopped trusting.
Maybe it's the 3-wood off the deck. Maybe it's the 4-hybrid you bought because the long iron was impossible — and now the hybrid is impossible too. You get to a 200-yard shot, look in the bag, and you already know how it's going to go. So you lay up with a 7-iron and write down a bogey.
That's not a swing problem.
A hybrid is a long-iron replacement — it wants a descending strike and a divot. A fairway wood wants a sweep. Most golfers use one motion for both, which means one of them is always wrong. Add guessed ball position, clubs whose lie angles fight a Single Plane setup, and no one ever teaching you when to use them — and you get the widest gap in the average golfer's bag, sitting on the exact shots that decide your score.
Long par 3s. Second shots into par 5s. Tight driving holes. The 200-yard approach.
Fix these two clubs and you don't just hit better shots. You get back holes you've been giving away for years.
Six weeks. Two instructors. Split down the middle by design.
Weeks 1–3 — Todd Graves teaches the technique: setup, ball position, low point, and the two different strikes these clubs require. This is where the topped 3-wood and the fat hybrid go away.
Weeks 4–6 — Tim Graves, PGA teaches the bag and the golf course: what actually fits you, what to carry, and exactly which club to pull from the rough, the fairway bunker, the tee, the wind, and the tight lie.
Both run a live Zoom every week. Those calls cap at 15 people — that's how many golfers they can genuinely coach at once.
What you'll work through
- Week 1 — Understanding Your Clubs. What each one is for. 3-wood vs 5-wood vs 7-wood vs hybrid. Carry vs rollout. A fitting check on your own bag. Single Plane setup: ball position, stance width, spine angle, alignment.
- Week 2 — Swing Arc & Solid Contact. Why you top fairway woods and hit behind hybrids. Managing low point. Sweeping vs compressing.
- Week 3 — Consistency & Distance Control. Launch, face and path, real stock yardages, and your own club-gapping chart.
- Week 4 — On-Course Application. Fairway woods off the tee. Par 5 second shots: go or lay up. Long par 3 strategy.
- Week 5 — Situational Shots. Rough, fairway bunkers, tight lies, uphill and downhill, wind, punch hybrids, and chipping into the grain.
- Week 6 — Performance & Pressure. Commitment, smart aggression, and building your personal written playbook — then the Combine.
It ends with a test, not a certificate
Week 6 finishes with the Fairway Woods & Hybrids Combine — five scored events, the same way we assess students at our schools:
Contact test (10 consecutive solid strikes) · Accuracy test · Distance test · Situational test (rough, tight lie, recovery) · On-course assessment across nine holes.
You compare it against the baseline you took in Week 1. You'll know in numbers — not feelings — exactly what six weeks did.

Downloads: practice plans · weekly checklists · strike pattern worksheets · yardage tracking charts · club gapping worksheet · on-course decision tree · video test guidelines
Three bonus modules: Equipment Optimization (shaft fitting, loft gapping, the lie-angle problem) · Hybrid Scoring Secrets · Fairway Woods Confidence Builder
Two honest warnings
You may find out your clubs are wrong. Most off-the-rack hybrids are built too upright for a Single Plane golfer — a heel-digging, pull-hooking machine that no amount of practice fixes. If that's you, we'll tell you, even though fixing it costs money we don't get.
Some of you should carry fewer hybrids. Tim will say it plainly: if you can't make a divot, higher-lofted fairway woods may make this game easier than hybrids ever will. That's an honest answer, not a sales pitch.
