"The lesson with Dave was quite straightforward, and I learned a lot throughout the process. Still, I hope next time I can become a much better chipper since my short game is pretty bad. Maybe with a bit more focus, those small shots will start to feel more natural. If you're thinking about trying Dave, it’s worth a shot.

Every aspect of what I do, I customize to the student. I think mass golf instrcution (magazines, tv, etc.) causes significantly more confusion than progress. As a coach, my job is to understand you and your leaning style. It allows me to give you meaningful cues that will have a lasting impact. I don't approach coaching any two students in the same way. I want to understand what golf means to you and how much time and energy you have to be able to get to your goals. I want to know what is going to make you feel like this is a successful partnership and what kind of program is going to help you succeed in getting there. I truly enjoy connecting with people. I seek to make a personal connection with every person I work with. It helps me serve as a better coach and keeps me more connected to the people that I work with. I want to help people succeed and show them that they are capable of much more than they think...

"I've been playing golf for over 50 years, mostly on a self-taught basis but with sets of private, one-on-one lessons and golf school group lessons from time to time. All of the lessons were helpful, but I always found it easy to return to my ingrained swing rather than working on new things. But when I started playing less in the past year, my swing fell apart and my handicap soared from 7.5 to 19, and I knew it was time to get serious about building a better swing, one that I would stick with. So I decided to take a series of full-swing lessons. I interviewed several local teaching professionals and chose Brad Alston, the PGA Director of Instruction at the PGA Learning Center at Park Hill. My choice was made primarily based on Brads friendliness, approachability, calm demeanor, and willingness to talk fairly extensively with me (before I had made a decision about which teaching pro to choose) about how he proposed to go about working with me. I couldn't be happier with my choice. After watching me hit fewer than five balls, Brad immediately identified several key items he wanted me to focus on (my too-inside takeaway, too-long backswing, and overly quick tempo and swing speed). And he also offered a solution that he wanted me to try: what he called your 50-yard swing, the idea being that a much smoother and more controlled swing would result in much greater consistency. Brad was 100% correct, and as often happens with lessons, I showed immediate improvement during the first lesson itself and subsequent lessons. I was able to continue that improvement on the range between lessons, a process helped quite a bit by Brad emailing to me his detailed lesson notes following each lesson. Taking my encouraging improvement from the range to the first tee (I think Brad calls this the longest walk in golf) has been a challenge, given how ingrained my bad habits of a lifetime are, and that's one reason I'm glad I've taken a full series of lessons. When I've gone back for a lesson following a not particularly good round, wondering why I cant repeat my range performance on the course, Brad is always positive and encouraging (and when he doesn't see me at the range or hear anything from me for a while, he checks in by email to see how I'm doing). When he sees continuing problems, he suggests various swing thoughts and drills to improve those problems. And when he feels I am progressing and thus can effectively absorb more instruction, he has given me that additional instruction. As I said above, I couldn't be happier with my choice of Brad as my teaching pro. And based on what I've observed when I've been nearby to Brad giving someone else a lesson, he seems to be really good with golfers of all different ability levels. Lastly, as a guy who started playing golf before I was a teenager and loves to see kids taking up and enjoying golf, Id be lying remiss if I didn't point out how much both Brad and the kids seem to enjoy the junior clinics that I know he spends a lot of time giving.
