Marc is a great instructor! I would highly recommend him to anyone who strives to improve their game. He is patient and thorough but does not waste your time. He very easily breaks down your swing identifying your problem areas and then provides you with easy ways to fix them. Highly Recommended!!
Below is a recap of my experience
I am a self-taught golfer, and I have always seen lessons as a waste of time for any sport that I have played (Soccer, Baseball). However, a few weeks ago I decided to go against my best judgement and take a lesson to work out some of the kinks in my swing and get warmed up for the new season.
After inquiring about Marc's services, Marc gave me a call and asked me several questions with regards to what sports I've played, how long I've been golfing, my goals and what I was looking to improve, to name a few. I told Marc that I had just started learning how to play last year and that I was relatively new to the game, but that I learn fairly quickly. In addition, I told him I specifically wanted to focus on the fundamentals of the swing and my short game.
Marc seemed to understand that I wanted to get the most information I could get packed into the lesson so that I could take the information with me and work on it fully on my own. He started with the basic fundamentals of my swing by recording a few of my shots and breaking down everything that I had done well and what he thought needed to be changed. I had already entered the lesson with pre assumptions of what was wrong with my swing, and Marc picked out my issue instantly. I was not shifting enough of my weight on to my back foot during the backswing. Therefore, I was hitting a lot of fat shots and losing club head speed. Marc showed me how to fix this problem by properly shifting my weight.
Then Marc helped me practice my short game while incorporating what I had just learned with regard to weight shift. I practiced hitting several targets at different yard lengths from 50/60/70/80/90/100. He showed me how to control my distance with one club by only changing one variable in the swing.
Lastly, Marc showed me several techniques for chipping and pitching around the green, while also focusing on solid contact with the ball.
The lesson experience for me was great because I was able to take in a lot of information at once and bring it home to practice on my own. We never spent too much time on one area because Marc knew that wasn't my goal. The best part was that it was evident Marc understood what I wanted out of the lesson and had reviewed the notes I had given him on my swing. He then geared the lesson toward those notes, and I really appreciated it.
In addition to the lesson time itself, Marc sent me a video a few days after the lesson with a recap of the fundamentals we had worked on with my weight shift. This I found over-the-top and an extremely useful piece of information because I can now analyze my swing at home in slow motion.
I will definitely be returning for another lesson soon. read more
