At TeeTime Golf, Coach Derik Keim leads with a unique philosophy: train the body, free the swing. As a TPI Level 2 Certified Coach in Fitness, Power, and Junior Golf, Derik tailors every lesson to the individual golfer, building a personalized plan rather than relying on a generic swing model. Short game is a particular passion of his — he believes mastering chipping and pitching is one of the fastest ways to lower scores.
Short Game Mastery
Derik's short game coaching is built around a modern chipping technique popularized by instructor Joseph Mayo — using a steeper attack angle and increased shaft lean through impact, rather than the more traditional shallow, low-shaft-lean approach. By managing spin loft — the relationship between shaft lean and clubface angle — Derik helps golfers replace inconsistent chipping with a repeatable motion that holds up under pressure.
Full Swing
Derik's full swing coaching goes beyond visual feedback, using 3D motion analysis to capture exactly how your body moves through the swing — sequencing, rotation, and power transfer that the eye alone can't see. Paired with his TPI training, this data-driven approach identifies what's actually limiting your swing physically, so every adjustment is built around your body's real capabilities rather than a generic swing model.
Golf Fitness
Derik's TPI-certified fitness coaching bridges the gap between your body and your swing. Using screens that identify physical limitations — mobility, stability, strength — he builds targeted training plans that address what's actually holding your swing back, whether that's limited hip rotation, poor sequencing, or a lack of power. The result is a stronger, more efficient swing built from the ground up, not just more reps at the range.
Junior Coaching
Derik's TPI Junior-certified coaching builds the fundamentals young golfers need to grow into the game — proper movement patterns, swing basics, and a genuine love for playing, all taught in a way that matches where a junior athlete actually is developmentally. Rather than scaling down adult instruction, sessions are built specifically for how junior golfers learn and move, setting the foundation for a swing — and a game — that can grow with them.
Initial Swing Evaluation
$120/session
Before a strong performance plan can be implemented an initial swing evaluation is required to identify key improvement areas. Each swing evaluation is tailored specifically for each golfer based on skill level.
Follow Up Sessions
$60/session
Follow up sessions are key for those looking to elevate their game. Every session is designed with each golfers needs in mind. Sessions can be on course, on the range, or at TeeTime Golf
TPI Certifications
At TeeTime Golf, training is led by a Level 2 Certified Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) coach, holding four TPI certifications across Golf, Fitness, Power, and Junior. Whether you're a beginner or an elite player, that depth of certification means every lesson is backed by expert, body-first coaching — built to help you actually reach your goals, not just take another lesson.
The Titleist Performance Institute is built on one core idea: how your body moves determines how you swing. Rather than forcing every golfer into the same swing mechanics, TPI-certified coaching starts by assessing your body's physical capabilities — mobility, stability, strength, and sequencing — then builds a swing around what you can actually do. It's the science behind why some swing faults are physical limitations, not technique problems, and why fixing the body often fixes the swing.
