I decided to take up golf lessons as an investment in my…read morecareer (I work in a "good ole boys' club" environment) but my lessons have now turned into my happy place! My instructor is Tommy Samaha and I am SO glad that I got him. He is kind, empathetic, and truly passionate about helping people learn how to golf. One minute with this guy and there is no mistaking that he lives for what he does!! He explains things in a way anyone can understand and in just a few months he has gotten me from an absolute rookie with NO golfing experience (I did not even know how to hold a club) to.... Well, still a rookie, but a rookie that almost has a fully formed swing! This man is changing my life and I look forward to my lessons with him every Monday. I do not leave a single lesson without a smile on my face! Aside from the instruction, the facility is perfect for someone looking to learn their swing for the first time or improve upon foundations they have already learned. Each lesson and practice will involve 2 camera angles that allow you to play back your swing in slow motion so you can really get a good idea of what you're doing well and what you're doing wrong. After each lesson you also get a recap of your lesson with playback videos and instructor voice overs to walk you through what you just learned so you can continue to build upon it. And if you're a sweaty person like me, it is an incredible privilege to learn in an air conditioned room during a hot Phoenix summer! The only thing I would change about this place is that there isn't ever any music going, so practice sessions feel a little quiet and tend lead to overthinking and frustration (for me, at least). Other than that, this place is amazing and I am so glad I decided to start my golfing journey here. Thank you, Tommy! You are such a treasure!!

In less than a year, I went from missing the ball more often than I hit it to feeling confident about playing a round in public with my husband. Tommy reminds me that I am a work in progress and that I'm always improving. I enjoy Tommy's intuitive teaching style, and I can feel how invested he is in my success. I can't wait to see where the next year takes me with my coach's support.

It's a bit intimidating to be a senior lady who is starting out but Joel made me very comfortable and he really seemed to have the ability to assess my swing and then give me simple recommendations to correct issues. He was very clear, patient and very professional. I am looking forward to signing up for additional lessons in the future. I liked that they take the students out to a more private area where you can feel less intimidated. I would highly recommend. My husband who is a long-time golfer observed a portion of the lesson and he was very impressed as well and will also be taking lessons from Joel in the future.

My son and I attended their four day school and it was beyond any of our expectations. I have played golf for the past 15+ years and my son played a bit when he was younger, but he has not picked up a club for at least ten years. They have a max 4:1 student:instructor ratio, which gives the pros plenty of time to give each student the attention they need. My son just wanted to be able to play with friends and clients and not shank it off the tee. In four days, he only had one errant tee shot and, by the end of class, he was hitting 220+ off the tee, and straight! Both of our short games improved dramatically over the four day school. My goals were to get another 10-15 yards off the tee and to improve my short game, both of which I accomplished, and more. The pace is perfect, with four hours of instruction each morning and then a tee time to play every afternoon. The instructors took a sincere interest in each one of us in our group and the entire experience was well beyond both of our expectations. Also, when I went to sign up, I had a lot of questions and spoke with Scott on the phone. He spent a lot of time with me and left nothing unanswered. If you are looking for a fun and productive golf school, this is the one for you. Also, if you are going with friends or family members who are at different levels, from never hitting to single digit, you will all benefit and have a great time!!

Even mid-construction, with unfinished furniture (pardon the dust in the pic!) I felt the magic of this place. It's a perfect size and format. I can't wait to go back with two primary use-cases in mind: 1. I'm decent at golf, but I really want to be better. And the way that golf tech has evolved lately puts professional level data right at my fingertips. Why wouldn't I want to get scientific about my swing? Blades has the cutting-edge technology that will allow me to spend the time in a climate-controlled and cozy environment to dial things in and practice practice practice. But also... 2. Bring a group of friends and have fun playing on the type of courses I may never get to visit in real life. Pebble Beach, anyone? The simulator has practically everywhere. Oh, and my fav local watering hole is literally right next door. A perfect pairing for fun with a group! I'm thrilled to see this opening in my neighborhood - I think everyone will love it!

After 3 lessons with Frank, I feel I can officially leave this 5 star review…read more I started golfing about 10 years ago and over that time had gotten myself as good as I could on my own. I'm an athlete and learn very quickly so honestly wasn't too bad of a golfer. But I knew I had hit my ceiling of what I could teach myself. Plus I wanted to get my first custom fit set of irons and wanted to fix any swing problems before getting fit. When I came to Frank for my first lesson, I was not using my driver because of how inconsistent I was, and I was battling a hooking draw with my low-mid irons. Within my first few practice swings, Frank was able to point out exactly what I needed to change. After only 3 lessons I can honestly say that with my irons I'm striking the ball better, and hitting my target at a much more consistent rate. I now understand my swing mechanics better and why I was dealing with a hook so I can continue to improve. We didn't even pull out the driver until lesson 3, where after putting together all my swing/set up adjustments from the first 2 lessons, I promptly hit 4 of my best drives in a long time, right in a row. I have many more lessons to go, but I'd recommend Frank to any golfer who is ready to take their game to the next level. Also, he's just a nice guy and I think that's really important from a coach.

I can't explain why or how... but his determination and confidence in what I can do made me believe I could too.

Got them for a low price on eBay from a brick n' mortar golf store in Alabama. In excellent condition. 2 months ago out of curiosity I attended a Ping demo day at my local golf course. Wanted to smack some of the latest models of clubs. While hitting some balls rather poorly the Ping guy says to me "Here, let's put you in a green dot 2 degrees upright, it will straighten out your shots". 5 swings with arrow straight ball flights I admit that he is absolutely correct. So rather buy a whole set of new clubs for close to $1600 I decide to have my perfectly useable 8 year old Pings modified. I send them off to the factory repair shop. I learn that the waiting list for the work is 4 - 6 weeks. After a kerfuffle with my work order the clubs do come home to me in six weeks. I'm totally satisfied with the modifications. The shop even polished up the heads. My cost for modifying 10 clubs was $36 plus $20 for return shipping. Fantastic! Like I said in my 2017 review, after playing golf clubs from many, many manufacturers I am the best potential golfer with Ping clubs. Oh, my driver, 5 wood and 3 hybrid are also Ping. Just my putter is a Taylormade Spider. Which is kind'a hilarious as Ping started out as a golf putter company.
