Since working with him, my golf swing has improved significantly, and he has a great way of breaking things down so the game actually feels simple and approachable. He's down to earth, easy going, and makes every lesson feel relaxed rather than overwhelming. Overall, he makes learning golf an easygoing and enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a coach who knows the game and knows how to teach it, he's the one. He'll provide you with real time data by using his mobile device to capture your lesson. He also provides feedback via videos, photos, and example through his app. Thanks Abraham for giving me the confidence and support to get out on the golf course.

His teaching style is relaxed yet focused, his approach is respectful, and the results have changed my game. You don't have to be a member at LMGC to take lessons from Dan, just call the pro shop and work with them to find a time on his calendar that works for you. The day of your lesson be sure *not* to wear jeans, and show up early to get warmed up on the range before the lesson. Even if the driving range is set up on mats, lessons with Dan are on grass. Crucial, that. Dan's rates are reasonable, and he always gives me a full hour lesson. On Wednesdays and Saturdays he sets up a digital video camera/laptop combination that enables him to do real-time swing analysis during your lesson. If you are a golf geek you'll relish the opportunity to see yourself in super-slow-motion with lines drawn in for swing plane at address, takeaway and impact. At the end of every lesson we review everything and go over the four or five keys to focus on. He always takes time with me to make sure what we covered has sunk in, and will be repeatable when I'm playing or practicing on my own. In addition to lessons on the range he also does walking lessons on the Lake Merced Golf Club course. Most importantly are results: Dan has helped my game immensely, and has been fun to learn from while doing it. When I finally do break 90 this guy is going to get at least half of the credit.

My husband and I don't play golf, yet our daughter loves golfing. Brandon has been super helpful…read morefor the past 3 years, practicing with her, taking her onto the course, and even caddied for her at her tournaments. He would text us detailed insightful reports afterwards to let us know what she needs to focus on. And best yet, he makes it fun and a great role model for my daughter. Brandon might be young, but he has been golfing and competing ever since he was little. So he knows what's helpful for a young junior golfer like my daughter. We are lucky to have met him!

This is a very long past due review on Coach Brandon. My son's been playing golf for few years now…read moreand he enjoys it very much. Over the years, my son has had few coaches who worked with him privately beyond classes such as Operation 36, Nike golf camps, First Tee, etc. As parents, this has been our first experience where a coach brought us into light on what exactly are our son's strengths and challenges are in great details. Most private instructions are good that includes a short but detailed explanation on what is working and what is further needed. With Coach Brandon, he goes the extra mile with not just a detailed explanation in person but provides a better understanding for the player and parents with videos and a comprehensive write up of lesson planning, what's working, what needs improvement and how to get there in what timeframe. Coach Brandon is gentle with little humor here and there. He's a great role model to a young player as he's not just a coach but a player himself. Because he's also a player, he understands the ups and downs of playing golf first hand and can translate its relevancy and impact to a student who's eager to learn and improve. Thus far, we've been very impressed with Coach Brandon's skills and approach. As a parent of a son in tween stage, Coach Brandon's been a prefect match to our son.

Hubby & I've been wanting to improve our golf game for quite sometime. What motivated us to…read morefinally do it was the Living Social offer. Yes, I experienced the same with Mitch not returning my message. It's because he's busy teaching. I sent him an email instead, and he promptly returned my phone call. Since then, you book your lessons online. Just take a look at his availability. Easy. Hubby and I spent an introductory hour with Mitch. We liked his style of coaching and his explanations made a lot of sense. We felt so comfortable with him that we signed up for 12 hours of semi-private lessons with him on the spot. We are still his students. Forget the text book techniques. Mitch can evaluate you and offer tips and help to improve your golf game for sure. I've told Mitch over and over that I can use a mini-Mitch when I'm on the course. He's the best. I didn't realize how good he was until I read his bio weeks into our lessons. I'm glad. His credentials are awesome! I think I woulda been way too intimidated.

There are a million different tips and tricks on how to improve your golf game on the internet…read more.. videos, step by steps etc, and I've tried em all. The thing is, none of these resources can watch your swing with an experienced eye like Mitch's. I considered myself an advanced amatuer, having only been playing for about a year, but was feeling like I had hit a plateau in my game. I bought a lesson 3 pack from Mitch and I feel that having completed 3 1 hour lessons with him my game is on track to improve significantly. Mitch has an easy going no attitude approach to helping you work on your game, and is very good at listening to you about the areas that you would like to improve and then focusing on those. Highly recommended for anyone looking to take their game up a notch, and their handicap down.

Most lessons that I have had deal with swing mechanics and everyone has different tips. My first lesson was less about tips and how but the why of ball flight whether path, distance, angle, speed etc. He uses a monitor to pinpoint issues and gives you feedback. Turns out my 5 wood goes the same distance as my driver since my driver swing speed is slower than my 5 wood!

That is when I went seeking out…read morethe best golf coach the bay area has to offer and decided to commit to Tom for 12 months (24 lessons). I am almost 4 months in (7 lessons total) and am currently sitting at a 18hcp. We joked that's about 1 stroke per lesson! Hopefully I can update down the line with my final numbers. I chose NCGA because of the tech. It's so much easier when you can work on something technical and see the improvements in the data. I am driving from San Francisco so you know it has to be worth it for the commute. So far so good!

(Too bad there aren't more reviews of golf pros on here!)…read more I'm a 18 handicapper struggling to find consistency in my game - I wanted to meet with Dan to get a swing check up. Dan's a super nice guy, he had nothing but nice things to say and is a really positive teacher - I think this is key especially for beginners. Technically I think Dan did a good job focusing on the part of my swing that was broken and not focusing on the parts of my swing that are just different (e.g. my grip etc.). It definitely wasn't not a cookie cutter "lets work on your grip, then your takeaway, etc." approach. Dan gave me 2-3 very tangible tips that I think will eventually save me 1-3 strokes and I would definitely come back to him (and recommend him) if I come back for a lesson again. He even gave me range balls after the lesson. Only negative would be that 30 minutes ($80) is too short, and $150 for an hour is out of my price range. If I could I'd get together a group of 3-4 14-24 handicappers and do a 90 minute group lesson for (presumably) the same rate. So in summary - great guy, very enjoyable/helpful lesson and I think could be a good coach for a wide range of players. How I found Dan: New to SF and not lucky enough to be part of a club so I went to my nearest course and pick Dan based on a couple decent online references.

I'd give Dan 5 stars but for the $90 per 30 min lesson.... then again, I feel like I got my money's…read moreworth. In one lesson he fixed my irons, in the next he fixed my driver. Now don't get me wrong, I went to the range several times after each lesson and was good at first, then terrible as I either over corrected or went back to my old habits, but then it just clicked. This morning i was hitting 220 to 250 yard drives into the wind when 200 has always my best. I'm booked for a 3rd lesson because I was screwing up my driver so badly yesterday on the range, that I was sure I'd never fix it on my own, but then I remembered Dan's insistance on swing plane, and I tried what felt like a crazy low and wide sweeping back and thru swing - and BAM I hit a monster drive perfectly straight. A little tinkering and I hit something like 20 in a row that would count as my best drives ever if I were on a golf course. What i liked about Dan is that I told him I'm more or less a once per year golfer which happens during an annual vacation when I'll get in 4 or 5 rounds, and my trip was coming up and I just wanted some basic help. So he gave me some really basic and easy to emulate tips. It is more or less completely different than my previous swing, but really, really simple too. After this morning I don't feel like I "need" a 3rd lesson.... but then again I am having trouble switching btwn my irons and the driver - they are pretty different swings. So if another $90 has me doing that - man will I be excited to see how that translates on the golf course. I'm not a beginner - I've taken lessons in the past - the last time 10 years or so ago, so I'm not sure that a beginner would have instant success. Then again, I had really bad and ingrained wrist and swing plane issues - so who knows. But for me - 3 lessons and 6 or 7 buckets of balls to hit the ball the way I did this morning.... amazing. As someone else said - skip the new driver and go with the lessons.
