Top 100 Instructor Krista Dunton brings a level of excitement to Berkeley Hall Golf Academy that’s unparalleled.

Dunton’s unique, custom approach is matched by the award-winning technology at Berkeley Hall’s 33-acre Learning Center. “We have the technology to properly diagnose what’s going on with the golf ball, the golf club. I individualize what you can do with your body through bio-swing dynamics, because everyone is built differently. No one is going to swing the golf club the same, nor should they, as we all have different physical structures. In my 25-plus years of teaching, what makes me different is I know what to leave alone and what to pinpoint and fix so you build a golf swing you can own and it can repeat on the course.” Once on the course, Dunton works on the other elements of human skills: how you think, react to your shot, manage your emotions and develop great technical skills that repeat under pressure, with a good mental set that allows you to perform at your best. “We are fortunate to have some of the best technology so we can measure and assess. We measure so we don’t guess, and the changes we make as your teachers and coaches are going to help you improve your game.”

We want to offer you

something different,

and customize it to you,

the individual.

I believe everyone has their

own unique swing DNA.

We work with what you have,

and enhance that

and make it better.

–Krista Dunton

DAY 1 We use technology to get a game plan of where you are and where you’re going to go to.

DAY 2 The process of getting your game on the course. How to think correctly, make it productive, implement swing changes under competition and pressure.

DAY 3 How to keep this going, and practice correctly and efficiently. “We want to teach you how to manage variability. What I love about our Learning Center and two golf courses, is we’ve got every shot imaginable you can learn to play,” adds Dunton. “We teach you a variety of shots, different trajectories – so when you go on the course, you take those shots you learned in practice and tap into that with confidence.”

Berkeley Hall’s Krista Dunton, a regular contributor to Golf Magazine, was featured in the March issue, with a full page special feature on her Golf Hack: Clip the Coin swing tips.

THIS MAY SEEM counterintuitive, but with most pitch shots you want to bottom out your swing slightly before contact with the ball, thus engaging the wedge's bounce and allowing the club to slide underneath to hit a soft shot. I call the area two-inches behind and two-inches in front of the ball the “slide zone,” where the clubhead grazes the turf before and after striking the ball. To develop a feel for this, grab a coin and place it behind the ball. Set up as you normally would, but instead of focusing on hitting the ball, try and clip the coin before making impact. Because the coin is low on the ground, you’ll instinctively swing lower and shallower for better contact. It’s a great drill for helping those of you who tend to lift up and hit a lot of skulled shots. A few practice shots with a coin is all it takes to kick that habit.
