Who We Are
The Performance Center Difference
Not an entertainment venue. Not a driving range with lessons bolted on. This is where golfers go to get measurably better.
Meet Lawson Buckley
PGA Associate professional, founder of Premier Golf & Performance, and your coach in Hampstead, NC.
Lawson opened Premier Golf & Performance with one clear mission: to create a space where golfers can improve their swing mechanics and their body's ability to execute — in the same visit, the same session, the same building.
This isn't a Topgolf experience dressed up with launch monitors. It's a performance center. Every tool in the facility — Foresight GC Quad, dual 320-frame-per-second cameras, Swing Catalyst pressure plates — exists to answer one question: what specifically should you work on right now?
Lawson's coaching philosophy is straightforward. He assesses the full swing picture first, then focuses on one area at a time with a defined start and finish line. Some players see dramatic early change. Others improve more gradually. Both paths are real, and Lawson is honest about timelines.
Taylored Sport & Spine
A separate business sharing our facility, led by a TPI-certified chiropractor specializing exclusively in golfers. This isn't a referral to another building — it's integrated into the same space, the same performance conversation.
Taylored Sport & Spine operates independently. Contact them directly for scheduling and specific chiropractic services.
What We Believe
Data over guessing
Every session produces numbers. Ball flight. Club path. Pressure patterns. You don't need to trust a feeling — you can see the evidence of change.
One problem at a time
We identify what matters most and work it until it's better. No scattered drills. No "today let's fix five things." Clear focus, clear progress.
Honest timelines
Some swings change dramatically in the first sessions. Others require gradual work over weeks and months. We tell you which is which before you commit.
Body + swing = performance
A perfect swing pattern in a body that can't execute it is a fantasy. We work with movement specialists to close that gap.
