TrackMan-powered instruction from a Nebraska State Champion — for beginners, juniors, league players, and anyone tired of guessing what's wrong with their swing.

You've bought the training aid that's now collecting dust in the garage. And your scores at Jackrabbit Run look about the same as they did two summers ago.
Here's the frustrating truth: golf is nearly impossible to fix by feel alone. What you think your swing is doing and what it's actually doing are usually two different things. So you make a change, it feels weird, the ball still slices, and you go back to what you were doing. Another season gone.
Every year you spend guessing costs you the same rounds, the same lost balls, and the same "I should really take a lesson someday." Someday is how a 95-shooter stays a 95-shooter for a decade.
At Chronicle Golf, we take the guessing out. Every lesson runs on TrackMan — the same radar system the PGA Tour uses — so we can see exactly what your club and ball are doing at impact. No opinions. No "try this and see." Numbers, a diagnosis, and a fix.
You warm up and hit shots with your normal swing while TrackMan quietly captures every number that matters.
We show you the one or two numbers actually causing your miss — usually not what you've been told — in plain English.
You get a drill or two matched to your swing and schedule, and you watch the numbers improve before you leave.
Club path. Face angle. Low point. Launch and spin. Carry distances for every club in your bag — real ones, not the ones we all like to believe. When you can see that your "slice problem" is actually a face 6 degrees open to your path, fixing it stops being a mystery and starts being a checklist.
You're not getting a seasonal range assistant reading from a script. You're working with a coach who has competed, fitted, and taught at a level most small markets never see:
That's why students drive in from Hastings, Kearney, Aurora, and all over Central Nebraska — this level of technology and coaching simply isn't available anywhere else in the region.

Heads up — evening slots fill first once league season starts in April. If you play in a Grand Island league, book your tune-up early.
Grand Island is a golf town whether it admits it or not. Between Jackrabbit Run's public layout, Indianhead Golf Club's practice facility and junior programs, and Riverside Golf Club on the private side, there's more golf per capita here than almost anywhere in Central Nebraska — and a lot of league players, scramble teams, and juniors who want an edge.
Our job is to make the practice you already do actually count. April through October, we get you ready for the courses. November through March — when the wind chill says no — our indoor TrackMan bays become the best improvement tool in town. The golfers who train through a Nebraska winter are the ones winning their flights in June.
"I'd been stuck in the low 90s for years. Three lessons and one club fitting later I shot my first 84 at Jackrabbit Run. Seeing my numbers on TrackMan changed everything — I finally understood my own swing."
— Mike R., Grand Island
"I drive over from Hastings every other week and it's worth every mile. Patient, honest coaching and you can measure the progress. My daughter takes junior lessons now too."
— Jenny T., Hastings
"Never held a club before last winter. Started indoors in January, played my first real round in May, and didn't embarrass myself at our company scramble. Can't recommend it enough."
— Dan W., Grand Island
Private and family lessons at Chronicle Golf run $50–$75 per hour, TrackMan swing analysis is $60, club fitting is $75, and online coaching starts at $30. Compare that to $150+ for similar TrackMan instruction in bigger metros and it's one of the best coaching values in Nebraska.
We teach out of Nebraska's largest indoor golf facility right here in Grand Island, with easy access from anywhere in town and a short drive off I-80 for students coming from Hastings, Kearney, Aurora, and surrounding communities. Call (308) 370-9797 and we'll get you directions with your booking.
Absolutely — total beginners are some of our favorite students because progress comes fast. We provide clubs, start indoors where nobody's watching, and build your swing step by step. Most first-timers are striping shots off the simulator screen within a lesson or two.
TrackMan is the same radar system used on the PGA Tour. It measures exactly what your club and ball are doing at impact — club path, face angle, launch, spin, and carry distance. Instead of guessing why you slice, we can show you the number causing it and track it improving lesson over lesson.
Yes — and honestly, November through March is the best time to improve. Our indoor TrackMan bays are climate-controlled, so while the courses are frozen, you're rebuilding your swing. Students who train through the winter show up in April ahead of everyone in their league.
We do — from 5-year-olds swinging a club for the first time to high schoolers preparing for tryouts and tournaments. Junior lessons are structured around fun first, fundamentals second, and competition when they're ready.
You'll see measurable TrackMan improvement in your very first lesson — that's our guarantee. For lasting on-course change, most students book a package of 3–5 lessons spaced a week or two apart with practice in between.
Bring them if you have them — we'll check whether they actually fit you. If you're new to the game, don't buy anything yet. We provide clubs for lessons and can fit you properly when you're ready, which saves most beginners hundreds of dollars in wrong purchases.
One lesson with real data will teach you more about your swing than a year of range balls. Evening and weekend times available — book yours before league season fills the calendar.
