About Derek

Hello! My name is Derek Novotny and I am in charge of Player Development and Adult Programming at Cheyenne Shadows Golf Club. We are a public facility that the general public can play and visit!

What makes you think you needs golf lessons? I would like to know what your goals are. My students see the best results with a consistent lesson and practice schedule. So all focus will be to improve your game. The average score reduction for a student that works for an entire year is 7-8 strokes off their score.

I believe in getting on the golf course. Our first lesson is a 9 hole playing lesson to see how you play the game. Then we build a plan for development towards your goals!

Testimonial:

The women I golfed with could not believe how well I was playing with only a handful of lessons. I attribute this to Derek’s careful lesson progression. Derek has instilled the love of the game in me...

Testimonial:

Derek has taken me from someone who was shooting in the 130+ range to now getting down into the mid 90’s on a consistent basis. All in just the last 6 months!
