The anti quick-fix. Application only.

You keep shutting your trunk on another 88.

New clubs. Your fifth putter. A three-day golf school. And you still can't break 80 the way you break everything else in your life. The problem was never you. It was the method. Dean Chitren has taken golfers from the 90s into the 70s in 90 days for years, with one structured system. Not tips. Training.

Hundreds of golfers. One decision away.

Be honest with yourself.

You excel at whatever you take on. You've built a career, a business, a life most people would trade for. And then there's this one game that will not bend to you, round after round, year after year.

So you did what winners do. You threw resources at it. A new set of clubs. Another 5-pack of lessons. Expensive equipment that promised ten more yards. Self-help golf videos. Casual advice from every low-handicapper in your foursome.

None of it moved your scores. And the reason is simple: a golf swing is a motor control skill, and you can't fix a motor control skill with information.

No training aid drops 10 strokes. Training does.

The entire golf industry is built to sell you something new every spring. Dean has said it plainer than any of it:

This is not Walmart. This is Rolls Royce.
Callaway, TaylorMade, Titleist, Ping. Their mission is to make money for their shareholders, period. And the only way to do that is by selling new equipment. So they do everything they can to brainwash you into buying this new driver.
Golf lessons are designed to get people to come in every week and pay. And then the person stops coming back, because they never got the results they're looking for.

Dean Chitren, recorded

Twelve weeks, built like basic training. It becomes a pattern you cannot unlearn.

You'd never hand a five-year-old a YouTube video on riding a bike and send them out to figure it out. It's a motor pattern. Golf is the same. Dean writes a new, correct pattern over the old one, in structured order, with feedback every step.

90%
Training

Perfect, slow-motion reps that hardwire the skill. Not banging balls at the range.

10%
Practice

Once it's trained, practice is short. The pattern travels to any course, anywhere.

100%
Coaching feedback

Weekly one-on-ones, live group coaching, and swing-video review so you never train it wrong.

The eight skill areas, trained in order
01Putting
02Finesse wedges
03Bunker play
04Distance wedges
05Full swing
06Fitness and mobility
07Course strategy
08Mindset and emotion

Short game first, for early wins and momentum. Fitness from day one. Then the full swing, where you spend the most time, because ball striking is everything.

Watch Dean lay out the whole thing.

Twenty-two minutes, in his own words. If it speaks to you, you already know.

The kind of golfers who make the decision.

A private program keeps a quiet roster. These are Dean's own accounts of students he has coached. Individual results vary with the golfer and the commitment.

12577
Came in at 125. Won her World Am about eighteen months later, and recently texted Dean a 77. Roughly fifty strokes.
Dr. Gene O.
9579
Spent seven years building his business and never trained. Ninety days after he decided, he shot a 79.
Fred, Arizona

Joined at the end of October and trained indoors all winter. Played a round and a half and fired an 82.
Nick, Pennsylvania

Every student who succeeded shared the same ten traits.

It's not about your handicap. It's about who you are. Dean turns most buyers away, on purpose. The gate is the whole point, and it's why the golfers inside actually win. See where you land in ninety seconds.

The 10-Traits Scorecard

Are you a 10-Traits Golfer?

Dean built this program for one specific kind of golfer. Over the years, every student who succeeded shared the same ten traits. Answer twelve honest questions and watch the instrument score you against them, live. It takes about ninety seconds.

No cost. No obligation. Just the truth.

Spring scores are built in winter.

A twelve-week winter cohort finishes you by the first tee of spring, even if you live up North. Nick trained in his living room through a Pennsylvania winter, played a round and a half, and fired an 82. This is training, not range time. You can do it anywhere you can swing a club, and some of it needs no club at all.

Choose the depth of your commitment.

Every path is the full Model. What changes is how long Dean stays in your corner. Your investment is discussed on your conversation, once you're accepted.

Dean Chitren

Dean dug it out of the dirt himself.

On welfare as a teenager, Dean made a decision at eighteen to be the first in his family to go to college, then joined the Army to pay for it. That is where the discipline started. Thirty years and a small fortune spent at every golf school in the country later, he had cut away everything that doesn't work.

He named the Model after his mentor, a Navy BUDS record-holder who taught him that structure and discipline build anything. TPI certified. A meditator since 2018. A coach who will be your friend and still call you out when you skip the drill.

“Decide means to cut off. You're deciding to cut off being a hacker.”

When you apply, your conversation is with Jason, Dean's enrollment coach for years. Dean coaches. You train. The machine finds the ones who are ready.

Dean and Jason, unedited.

The whole story behind the Model, in their own words. Longer than the film, and worth every minute if this is your year.

Make the decision to shoot in the 70s.

Tell us where your game is and why now. If you're a fit, Jason reaches out with a link to book your conversation. This is the last program you'll need, and it's built for serious golfers only.

The conversation

You and Jason decide, together, if this is your year.

Dean takes a small number of golfers at a time. Applying is how you find out if there is room.

Applying is not enrolling. It's the start of a conversation, and acceptance is not guaranteed.
