I highly recommend JL Golf Academy and instructor Jeff Lombardo!…read moreMy family gifted me with two golf lessons with Jeff, and he was absolutely terrific. I am a "wannabe" golfer, honestly, even before beginner level, but I love the game and wanted to learn. After my first lesson in April, Jeff followed up with detailed notes and drills for me to practice, which I really appreciated. Having those notes on setup, address position, posture, heavy shots, heel/toe misses, and swing path gave me something I could actually refer back to when practicing or playing.
Recently, I was invited to play at Bally Links as a fourth, and while I knew the course was probably way above my skill level, I decided to go for it. Before the round, I scheduled my second lesson with Jeff and told him my plan: learn as much as I could about golf, the rules, the course, and then just do my best. He gave me honest feedback, we both laughed when he told me how extremely difficult the course would be for me, but more importantly, he encouraged me to go, have fun, and enjoy the experience.
Jeff is professional, thorough, encouraging, and a great teacher. I left my lesson feeling more confident and excited to play, even knowing I still have a lot to learn. If you're looking for a golf instructor who knows the game, explains things clearly, follows up, and makes you feel supported at any level, I highly recommend Jeff Lombardo at JL Golf Academy!
