Phil Moore
Golf Coach, Club Maker, Golf Writer
Senior golf Specialist
Hello, my name is Phil Moore. I’ve coached golf and operated my own successful golf building and
repair business for over 25 years. I currently own Phil’s Custom Golf Shop located in “The Nest”
building at Goose Creek Golf Club.
I’m 73 years old and consider myself to be a senior golf specialist. As both a golf coach and club fitter, I enjoy working with both men and women senior golfers at every level.
I’ve also written three popular books on golf, The Mad Science of Golf: On moving past golf industry hype and learning to play better golf – published in 2007, Understanding Golf: Learn to significantly lower your average score without hitting the ball farther, changing your swing, or buying expensive golf clubs – published in 2012, and Rethinking Golf Clubs: An inside perspective on the confusing and very misunderstood world of golf clubs – published in 2019.

My Teaching Philosophy
I believe that most players take golf lessons with the hope of developing a better golf swing and, as a result, lower their average score.
In my second book, Understanding Golf, I wrote that to significantly and permanently lower your average score you need to do more than simply change your golf swing. Golf is a game that is “played”. Becoming a better “player” requires that you improve not only your ball-striking skills, but also your five “playing skills” – Shot Selection, Club Selection, Intention, Setup Position, and Swing Focus.
In other words, for significant long-term improvement, you need to become a better all-around golfer – not just the same golfer with a different looking swing.
Helping each student become a better “golfer” is the reason I refer to myself as a golf coach as opposed to simply a swing instructor.
When helping a student improve their ball-striking, I don’t teach a particular method or swing technique. Instead, I focus exclusively on improving my student’s ability to consistently make good quality contact with their own natural swing.
I’m a firm believer in the old adage – the golf ball doesn’t care how you swing, it only responds to the clubface at impact. Accepting that everyone does and should swing differently, I strive to help each of my students better understand their own swing and discover their own way to consistently make good quality contact.
I’ve found that through working with my students natural swing motion, rather than against it, the process of improvement is greatly accelerated.
I strive to teach each of my students how to significantly and permanently lower their average score through helping them with their equipment, improving their ball-striking skills, expanding their understanding of the game, and developing their five playing skills
