"Nice start to a lesson with Sean, my driver felt smooth, and the focus on consistency finally clicked, especially with the highlight of “Best driver lesson!” I’m eager to build on this progress and keep dialing in the swing.

I've been a student of the great game of golf for a little over 20 years and continue to learn every day. One of my most significant accomplishments was achieving my first hole-in-one only two years into my playing journey. I've played in multiple recreational tournaments and have had the privilege of teaching my kids this great game. My philosophy is that golf should be fun and the process of playing better should be enjoyable. If you enjoy it and have fun, you'll want to play more, which means you'll ultimately get better.

"My lesson with Earl was quite helpful, especially in highlighting how small adjustments in my grip and stance can improve my iron shots. Though I still need to work on consistency, I feel more aware of what to focus on next. Still, I’m encouraged to keep practicing and see how things develop. If you’re looking for someone who pays attention to the details and can guide you through specific aspects of golf, Earl might be worth trying.

"Bill’s lesson was quite helpful, especially because he tailored it to our specific needs. It’s a solid start, and I’m looking forward to seeing how we progress next time. If you’re into improving your pickleball skills, I’d say give Bill a try.

I have been playing golf for over 30 years, even though I’m only 38. I played high school and college golf before becoming a Head Pro for a couple of years. My current handicap is 2.1, but I'm aiming to reach scratch or better by the end of the year. I look forward to being your coach and helping you maximize your golf potential.

"Coach Mitchener really knows his stuff. He gave me a few drills to work on because I keep left out of the swing. He demonstrated what it should feel like to keep your chest “covering” the ball to keep from lifting. He made me feel comfortable and didn’t rush through the lesson.

I’ve been playing pickleball for over three years, and recently friends and others have been asking me for help and advice. After giving pointers and drills to work on outside of play, I soon had people asking how much I charge — and that gave me the idea to start coaching! I love teaching new players the ropes and helping advanced players hone their skills to reach the next level. Reach out, and let's bring out the best pickleball player in you!

"My serves and drives were always weak, until Cody gave me some tips on how to improve my pace and create more spin. Now, my serves and drives are much harder and more precise. 5 stars!
