Primal Performance Instruction Program at Back Nine®
The Primal Performance™ Instruction Program at Back Nine is a modern golf development system designed to help golfers of every age and ability play better, practice smarter, and enjoy the game more. Built around the Primal Golf Method™, the program moves instruction away from complicated swing mechanics and toward simple, repeatable fundamentals that golfers can understand, feel, and apply on the course.
The program is organized around four distinct areas of development: Men’s Golf, Women’s Golf, Junior Development, and Business Golf. Each program applies the same foundational Primal Golf principles while tailoring instruction to the specific needs, goals, physical characteristics, and playing environments of each golfer.
The Primal Golf Method™
At the center of the Back Nine Instruction Program is the Primal Golf Method™—a simple approach built around three fundamentals:
Setup. Build a repeatable athletic starting position that allows the golfer to use the ground, organize the body, and create consistency before the club ever moves.
Motion. Learn to create an efficient, athletic golf motion rather than becoming dependent on complicated positions or mechanical swing thoughts.
Pace. Develop a consistent rhythm and tempo that allows the golfer to reproduce the motion under pressure and control distance more predictably.
The method is designed to help golfers move from overthinking to underthinking—and ultimately to playing instinctively. Instead of giving every golfer the same swing model, Back Nine instruction develops a golfer's own natural athletic ability and gives them a simple framework for repeating it.
Men's Golf
The Men's Golf program is designed for players who want to improve performance, lower scores, and get more enjoyment from their game—whether they are returning to golf, playing recreationally, competing, or pursuing a higher level of performance.
Instruction emphasizes efficient movement, scoring performance, consistency, and confidence. Particular attention is given to the shots that often determine the score: wedges, approaches, short game, and the ability to execute under pressure.
Men's instruction uses the Primal Golf Method™ to help golfers:
Establish a consistent and athletic setup.
Develop efficient, repeatable motion.
Improve wedge and scoring-shot performance.
Build a reliable pace and pre-shot routine.
Reduce swing thoughts and eliminate unnecessary complexity.
Transfer practice improvements to the golf course.
Develop a personal game plan built around their strengths.
The goal is not simply to create a better swing. It is to create a better golfer.
Women's Golf
The Women's Golf program applies the same Primal Golf Method™ while recognizing that women can have different physical characteristics, movement patterns, equipment needs, playing experiences, and performance goals.
Instruction focuses on helping each golfer understand how to use her own body and natural athleticism to produce an efficient golf motion. Rather than forcing women into traditional swing models designed around a one-size-fits-all approach, the program adapts the fundamentals to the individual.
Women's instruction emphasizes:
Athletic setup and balance.
Ground interaction and efficient movement.
Club and equipment optimization.
Pace, rhythm, and distance control.
Wedge and short-game development.
Confidence and decision-making.
Building a repeatable game that holds up on the course.
The objective is to give women a simple, powerful framework for learning and playing golf—one that builds confidence instead of creating dependence on technical swing instructions.
Junior Development
The Junior Development program is built around a simple philosophy: teach kids to be athletes first and golfers second.
Junior golfers should develop movement skills, coordination, balance, creativity, and confidence while learning the fundamentals of golf. The Primal Golf Method™ provides a framework that can grow with the player rather than forcing young golfers into an adult swing model too early.
Junior development progresses through age- and ability-appropriate instruction focused on:
Athletic movement and coordination.
Natural setup and balance.
Learning the basic golf motion.
Developing pace and rhythm.
Exploring different shots and trajectories.
Building short-game and scoring skills.
Learning how to practice effectively.
Developing course-management and decision-making skills.
Creating confidence through measurable progress.
As juniors advance, instruction can evolve from fundamental development to competitive performance, preparing players for middle school, high school, college, and beyond.
Most importantly, the program is designed to help juniors fall in love with the game while developing the skills to play it well.
Business Golf
Business Golf brings the Primal Golf Method™ into the corporate environment, using golf as a platform for relationship building, leadership development, networking, and personal performance.
The program can be structured for corporate groups, executives, clients, employees, and business partners. Instruction is designed to be accessible and engaging regardless of playing ability.
Business Golf experiences can include:
Golf fundamentals for beginners.
Fast-track golf development.
Group instruction and team challenges.
Short-game and scoring competitions.
Corporate golf clinics.
Client and customer experiences.
Executive golf development.
Golf-based networking events.
The objective is to create an experience that is more than a golf lesson. Business Golf uses the game to develop connections, create shared experiences, and give participants a practical introduction to a simpler, more enjoyable way to play.
One Method. Four Pathways. A Lifetime of Golf.
While the needs of a 55-year-old recreational golfer, a competitive junior, a woman learning the game, and a corporate executive may be very different, the foundation remains the same:
Setup. Motion. Pace.
The Back Nine Instruction Program takes the Primal Golf Method™ and adapts it to the golfer—not the other way around.
Whether the goal is to learn the game, lower a handicap, compete at a higher level, return to golf after time away, or use golf to build stronger business relationships, Back Nine provides a clear pathway for development.
Simple enough to learn. Powerful enough to perform. Built for the way people actually play golf.
