PAT prep

Fewer than three in ten pass the Playing Ability Test on a given day. Shaun failed his first one by eight and passed his second by sixteen, seventeen days later. The difference is a plan, and this is it, in person.

The six weeks

  1. Week one: the audit. Your last ten scorecards, your doubles, your real miss. Target math for your PAT site.
  2. Week two: the bogey game. A plan for every hole on the test course, built from your dispersion, not your hopes.
  3. Week three: the short game that passes. The chip to the fat side, the lag putt, the bunker you never enter.
  4. Week four: on course, nine holes. At the PAT site if we can get on it. Playing the number, not par.
  5. Week five: the afternoon body. Fuel, heat, the tired miss, and the second-round plan.
  6. Week six: nothing new. Rules that cost strokes, the night before, and the first tee.

Price

6
PAT prep programFour one-hour lessons, one nine-hole on-course lesson, a scorecard audit, a text line to Shaun through test day, and a signed copy of Pass the PAT: First Try.
$850
The guarantee. Do the six weeks, take the PAT, and if you don't pass on that first try, Shaun gives you $350 back. No forms, no argument; text him the scorecard. He's that sure of the plan, and if it didn't work for you, you shouldn't be paying full price for it. The $500 that stays covers the lessons you got; the $350 is the part that was for passing.

Green fees for the on-course lesson are extra. PGM students and apprentices only; this isn't a general lesson package. The guarantee applies to the first PAT you take after finishing all six weeks.

Why a coach who failed it

Because he knows both drives home. Boulder City, April 2025: scratch golfer, no plan, no sleep, 164 against a target of 156, while a 9-handicap in his group passed on the number. Revere, May 2025: 71-71, 142, medalist by fifteen, with the plan that's now a book. Nothing about his swing changed in those seventeen days.

Most PAT coaching is swing coaching. The PAT isn't a swing test. It's a decision test with a 36-hole body test attached, and that's what six weeks with Shaun is built around.
