Smashing Golf provides a range of personalized golf lessons designed to accommodate golfers of all skill levels. Our lessons focus on improving your game through tailored instruction and practice.
Smashing Golf lessons focus on making the game of golf more approachable and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their skill level. Unlike typical golf programs that may be rigid or focused solely on competition, Smashing Golf emphasizes creating a welcoming environment where learning is fun and stress-free.
Smashing Golf clinics provide hands-on instruction and practical tips to improve your game. Our clinics are designed to be informative and supportive, helping you build confidence and skills on the course.
To get started in golf, first take a lesson from a golf professional and then pick their brain as to the best way to get involved in a ladies friendly, all ability league. Smashing golf has many programs designed for women who are just starting out.
Women’s golf clubs are designed for women 5’4″ approximately. If you are taller, you may be better suited for senior men’s clubs. Graphite shafted clubs are lighter weight and easier to swing. Once you have had your golf lesson, ask your pro for some advice. For your first set, a few clubs and a putter is all you need. Many starter sets are available online or on re- sell sites.
You can find women’s golf networking opportunities through local golf clubs, women’s golf associations, and social media platforms. Smashing Golf also provides lessons that allow women to connect and network in a supportive environment, helping you build valuable relationships while improving your game. Many organizations focus on creating spaces for women golfers to expand their connections and advance their careers.
Yes, women’s golf networking can be highly beneficial for advancing your career. Through golf, relationships are made due to the shared experience of vulnerability through the game. The time spent outdoors and in casual clothing fosters an environment to be able to connect on a deeper level and to have fun!
Opportunity to learn, grow, and enjoy the game with professional coaching at Smashing Golf. Our experienced golf coach team delivers engaging golf lessons designed to build strong fundamentals and lasting confidence.
Far curated and hosted a phenomenal Marrakech experience recently! Could not have asked for more. Golf, culture & excursion's with depth and authenticity.
This Morocco golf-cultural experience exceeded all expectations. The riad we stayed in was conveniently located with charm and creature comforts. If you’re a keen golfer, this trip is for you. Fareen has curated a choice of beautiful courses. The camel ride was thrilling. The pace of each day was perfect with enough time to chill. The restaurants were varied and wonderful. Our guide, Omar, was fluent in English, mannerly and so knowledgeable about Marakkesh. Honestly, this trip was so memorable. I will be recommending it to my friends. Thank you Fareen, for putting together this exceptional, varied experience. I loved every bit of it!
Far has an amazing ability to immediately pin point issues and provides a simple task to focus on to make significant improvements. I’ve been to instructors who want to completely change things around and these changes are not sustainable. Far works with your swing and using tech savvy videos, shows you how to make easy corrections. Highly recommend!
Just spent a wonderful 3 days learning from the best golf instructor, Fareen. Great time in PEI. The clinic, golf courses and resort stay was amazing. Thanks Far!
I was a new golfer 3 years ago and took lessons from Fareen that year. She got me off to such a great start. Then...surgeries.....and I haven't swung a club since. Far's 2 online videos, Golf and Networking for Beginners and Driver Fundamentals gave me the refresher I needed to get back out there with confidence. Thanks once again Fareen, for great instruction. See you out there!
Far is amazing! Her Smashing Nine events are always well led, so much fun and a great day of golfing. I've also used Far for lessons and in one hour it made a huge improvement to my swing! Super friendly and casual.
A great afternoon of relaxed, no pressure golf with supportive women. Far creates a casual but motivational event that also provides terrific coaching on golf basics to all the participants. Makes you wish every trip to the golf course included Far cheering you along!
Just recently attended Far's Smashing Golf in PEI. Far puts together unbelievable packages for her Smashing golf events and with so much included, you just go with the flow and get to focus on the golf and the fun. This retreat included 4 nights accommodation at Rodd Crowbush Resort, 3 full days of clinics followed by 18 holes of golf each at Glasgow Hills Golf, Dundarave Golf and the Links at Crowbush right next to the resort (and spectacular views from many of the holes), 4 breakfasts and 3 dinners! The dinners included lobster dinner at New Glasgow Lobster Suppers on Monday - tourist trap or not, our group loved the buckets of mussels and 4 course lobster dinner. Dinner on the second night was from the delicious menu in David's restaurant, and on the final night - a real celebration with loads of oysters on the shell, a full lobster followed by a steak dinner. On top of that Far arranged for music during dinner and music for dancing off dinner afterwards. It's the clinics that really take it over the top where, in addition to her putting on clinics, Far also arranges with the pros at the courses we golfed at, to help us with our pitching, chipping, hitting out of bunkers, and driving. At the end of the retreat, Far handed out some swag along with a handwritten note to each of us (about 16 women in the group all with various golfing experience) to encourage us in our golf and in ourselves. I've attended several of Far's clinics and taken some lessons, and I can honestly say that I learned more from her than in my 24 lessons with Golftec during Covid. I'm actually chipping better, and finally making some decent shots. I got a par during one of the rounds and couldn't have been more excited. Tonight I got a bogey on a Par 3. So thank you Far for bringing so much fun to the game.
Fareen taught my children how to play last night! She was amazing and left them confident & excited to play again! We are looking forward to our next time out with Smashing Golf! Thank you so much!!
As a complete novice, Far was the best choice I could have made for lessons. Shes patient, encouraging, corrects your form in a way that’s relatable and an absolute pro instructor. Within 15 minutes I was hooked and can’t wait to learn more from her!
I took a lesson with Far at Smashing Golf Academy. I cannot express in words how much I enjoyed it! She was amazing…so patient, explained everything so thoroughly, and so knowledgeable. I was so anxious going into the lesson but within minutes I felt relaxed. I am hooked and cannot wait for my next lesson. would recommend lessons with Far any day! She really is 10/10 and am so thankful that she was recommended to me.
As a non-golfer on this Marrakech trip I had an amazing time. We were very well cared for and it felt very safe and very embedded. I toured a number of museums and got an appreciation of history and place. Great food, huge value! I’m sure the golf was great, too!
Far was very kind and made me feel empowered in my ability to be a good golfer. Her explanations were clear and very easy to follow. I would recommend Far to everyone!!
Best ever golf experience!! Far makes all of her peeps feel so welcome and special! Can’t miss with Far as your leader!!!
Love Far (Fareen) for golf instruction. Previously went on a 3 day away clinic and loved it. Now taking private lessons from Far at Smashing Golf Academy. Can’t say enough good things about her and all she does for golf!
Exceptional experience with Far for golf lessons! After just one session, I noticed a significant improvement in my swing fundamentals. Far was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, tailoring the lesson to my skill level. I walked away feeling more confident and equipped with valuable techniques to enhance my game. Highly recommend Far for anyone looking to elevate their golfing skills!
I recently participated in one of Far's trips to PEI and loved it. We had clinics each day followed by a great round of golf and social time together as a group. Far also played with us and provided on course lessons. Shes artful at putting even the most inexperienced golfers at ease. It was the perfect blend.
Far is an incredible golf instructor that I cannot recommend nearly enough! I am a beginner golfer and before my lesson with Far, I had only been to one introductory lesson and the driving range a handful of times. My first lesson with Far left me smiling from ear-to-ear. She taught me the fundamentals of swinging a golf club and was clear, direct, and supportive throughout the lesson. I was personally shocked by how much I learned and progressed within the lesson. Prior to this lesson, I was always nervous and self-conscious about practicing at the driving range. I was always either missing the ball or hitting the ball wildly and poorly. After one lesson with Far, I have the confidence and tools I need to really dive into golf without fear. I'm certainly looking forward to my next lesson!
Just had our first lesson with Far from Smashing Golf Academy. It was great, and I can’t wait to go back. She has a way of explaining strategy that’s easy to understand and follow. Her feedback was personalized (there were two of us) to each of us and nailed exactly what we needed to work on without leaving either of us feeling insecure in any way, in fact somehow made us feel better than we were the last time we swung. Overall, fantastic experience.
Far is an amazing coach. She was able to identify my swing weaknesses immediately and got me in 10 minutes at least 40 to 50 yards on my drive. Can’t wait for my next lesson!
