We will set you up in a group of two to four students which will focus on a particular area of the game, including some one-on-one, to tune you up on a personal basis.

Brandon Evans - PGA Head Professional
Brandon has been the Head Golf Professional at Village Greens for the past 6 seasons. He is a graduate of the Professional Golf Management Program at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan. Brandon's objective is to maximize his student's playing abilities and enjoyment in the game of golf.
Through an extensive knowledge of ball flight laws learned under some of the game's greatest instructors, Brandon can analyze and identify the positive attributes of one's swing as well as those factors which are preventing an individual from achieving their potential.
Once a diagnosis is made, a customized improvement plan is created based on a number of factors, including the students desire and availability to learn and practice and the ideal manner (visual, auditory, or kinesthetic) in which they assimilate the information given to them.
He also believes that the fastest and most effective way to improve one's score is through a greater understanding and proficiency in the short game. Brandon (left) and Stephanie Parkinson (right) displaying her 2003 achievements.
"In my experience, as well as others (a conclusion made after many discussions with those who also have had Brandon as an instructor) Brandon Evans demonstrates exceptional teaching and coaching insights. He assesses student's needs, targets problems, analyzes shortcomings and teaches skills necessary to master the game. Brandon's keen analysis helps students maximize their own unique physical capabilities, minimize liabilities,and helps them adjust accordingly. Brandon also helps students prepare mentally / psychologically so that more enjoyment can be had from their experiences on the golf course. Whether a beginner or seasoned player, Brandon helps students grasp the nuances of a better golf game as well as more enjoyment from the golf experience. He is a brilliant analyst, teacher and the best kept golf secret in the Chicago area."
Stephanie Parkinson - MWGC Club Championship Flight Champion
"I would like to commend Brandon Evans on his golf teaching skills. When I first went to Brandon for lessons I was new to the game but I was determined to hit the 80's by my second year. I'm here to testify that with the help and instructions from Brandon, I recently achieved my goal. I shot an 89 on August 14th and owe it all to Brandon. His teaching method and ideas were perfect for me.
He gave me the tools and skills that I could work on even when I wasn't being watched by him. I trusted his judgment and it has paid off. Now all I have to do is continue down the path that Brandon has shown me and I'll soon be in the 70's. I do believe this."
Shawn Pipes - 20 Handicap (and falling)
