 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Derrick was a joy to work with...he notices technique immediately and gave me some drills,etc to help me get in the right "groove" He uses analogies for me to understand this process. I have noticed guite a difference in my swing as we went over some key points. If I can apply consistently, I won't be looking for my ball so much. Thank you   Derrick

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Derrick is so patient and really does a great job of teaching and breaking down the mechanics of the game. He uses the skills that I  already had to make me better.  He was able to make it fun yet I learned something everywhere week.  He broke down my swing and grip and now I’m hitting it straighter and further than ever before.  I really wanted to improve my short game and now I’m more comfortable tham ever.  He was able to keep the attention of 8 women and make learning golf fun.  I can’t recommend Derrick enough if you want to learn the game of golf.  LOVE THIS GUY

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had some odd years of experience of golfing and have only ever played with my husband. I signed up for the ladies sip and golf and it’s been so helpful learning from DC and others in the group. DC helps break down the golf game and the fundamental skills in an easy to learn fashion. My game has changed exponentially by taking lessons with him. I highly recommend whether you’re just starting out or want to improve your game, sign up!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have really enjoyed my experience with DC Golf. I appreciate that Derrick tailors instruction to past athletic experiences (such as, my experiences playing basketball) triggering muscle memory.  Derrick is knowledgeable about golf, and he is kind, compassionate, and a very patient instructor.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined Derrick Campbell’s Ladies Sip and Swing golf class and have had such a great time! Derrick is super easygoing, patient, and genuinely helpful, which makes learning feel comfortable instead of intimidating. I’d absolutely recommend this class to anyone looking for relaxed, unstuffy golf instruction. The price is more than fair too, especially since the classes are an hour and a half and a lot of the time is actually spent out on the course. Such a fun way to learn and improve your game!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just starting golf and learning every aspect; I find that Derrick explains the process thoroughly and is open to any question. Last year I bought lessons for my grandson and both his dad and I participated. Even his dad who has golfed several years was impressed with pointers he learned from Derrick. So from novice to intermediate - Derrick can better your game!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an avid golfer my entire life, I have taken dozens of lessons. Working with DC has been most productive instruction I have. Easier swing and 10+ yards within 15 minutes. Very much looking forward to working with him more going forward!

The SMRT Golf Method

Coaching Built Around How You Actually Learn

SMRT stands for Sports Movement Related Teaching. Instead of forcing you into a long list of technical positions, this method teaches golf through movement patterns your body already understands.

That means we use athletic concepts like balance, timing, rotation, throwing, and natural sequencing to help your swing become more repeatable. The goal is not to copy a tour player. The goal is to build a swing that fits your body, your mobility, your timing, and your real life.

This is why the SMRT Golf Method works so well for beginners, frustrated golfers, busy adults, and players who feel like traditional instruction gave them too many random swing thoughts without giving them a system that actually sticks.

Personalized Instruction

We refine your natural swing instead of forcing you into positions that do not fit your body.

Movement-Based Coaching

You learn through familiar athletic feels that are easier to repeat under pressure.

Flexible Training Options

In-person, on-course, and remote coaching let you improve in the format that fits your schedule.

Self-Correction Skills

You learn how to diagnose and adjust your swing so progress continues between lessons.

Why It Works

A simpler way to build a repeatable swing

Most golfers do not need more random tips. They need a swing that makes sense to their body and a practice plan they can actually follow. SMRT Golf works because it improves the three things that create consistency: balance, timing, and rotation.

When those improve, contact gets cleaner, low-point control gets better, and the club starts moving through the ball with less tension and more speed. That is how you go from thinking about your swing all day to trusting it on the course.

Simpler Practice

You stop guessing what to work on. Each lesson gives you a clear focus, the right drill, and a more useful way to practice.

Better Contact

Better movement leads to better low-point control, cleaner strikes, and more confidence when you step onto the course.

Long-Term Progress

You are not just collecting tips. You are learning how your swing works so improvement lasts beyond the lesson tee.

Learn a swing that fits your body and holds up on the course.

Whether you are brand new, getting back into golf, or tired of overthinking your swing, SMRT Golf gives you a better way to improve.
