"George's lesson was quite helpful. I appreciated the specific instruction and feedback he provided. Though I still need more practice serving and moving up to the net, I feel like I'm making steady progress.

I’m a high school health and PE teacher with a dense sports background. Football was my main sport but I’ve been playing golf for almost 12 years now, currently hold a USGA 14.5 handicap. Built on an approach to move tee to green as efficiently as possible. Most amateur golfers philosophy is to par as much as you can but, what they don’t realize is if you bogey 18 holes of golf, you would shoot a 90. My goal for anyone who comes to me is to feel confident and become competitive in every round of golf they play.

"I had my first two-hour lesson with Dan this week and couldn’t be happier with the experience. He came in with a clear game plan, took the time to understand my goals, and was extremely knowledgeable and patient with me as a new golfer. After just one lesson, I’m already seeing positive results. I’ve already booked my next session and look forward to continuing to work with Dan. Highly recommend!
