I just finished a two-hour Short Game Clinic with Justin and three other golfers. Justin covered Putting, Chipping, Pitching and the "dreaded" Sand Bunker shot. Justin broke down putting into three key tips on putting and as a high handicapper it made putting simple and more reactive and less thinking. Justin's Chipping tips and practice were creative and something to use on my next round. Pitching tips and practice were extremely helpful and excited to use at Stadium's Golf Short Course. Justin gave very clear steps to get out of the sand and I even rolled a ball into the hole. Thank God one of the other golfers saw it. I on purpose did not divulge Justin's tips and instruction because if you want to improve you need to take Justin's Short Game Clinic. Why - because you will be able to take all these tips and practice drills as you improve your Short Game. If you want clear direct instruction Justin's your guy. "Mahalo" Justin read more

Justin takes the time to help you understand your strengths and weaknesses. And then craft a strategy to address the areas in need of most improvement. He does this with patience and a real love for the game of golf. Justin will make recommendations as you progress, and yet he remains flexible if you want to work on something else. Have fun!! read more

Awesome coach that tailors to your goals as a golfer. I just recently had a lesson with Justin at Stadium Golf, and it was extremely helpful. I'd been golfing pretty regularly for about 4 years, and I just wasn't seeing the improvement that I was expecting to see. I'd never had a lesson before, so it took a while to convince myself that I really needed one. For the first few minutes, Justin and I went over my golfing experience. We talked in detail about the strengths and weaknesses of my golf game and the main things I really wanted to improve upon. I told him that I thought ball striking with my mid-long irons was costing me a lot of strokes, so he said we could focus on that for our lesson. After warming up for a few minutes, he recorded a few of my 6 iron swings from face on and down-the-line camera angles and then went over the biggest flaws that were causing my poor ball striking. He then gave me very simple and specific drills I could do to improve some of those things. At the end of the lesson, he created a 3 minute video summary of the most important parts of my lesson. This included commentary about my swing from different camera angles, demonstrations of how to perform the drills he assigned, and swings of tour pros that he thought would be good to emulate. He then emailed me the video so that I could go back for quick reminders after the lesson. Overall, it was a really good first lesson experience. I felt like he focused on what I wanted to accomplish and then gave me the tools I needed to achieve my own personal goals. read more

When we moved to San Diego a number of years ago, my son decided he wanted to take up golf as high school sport. He had played a few times, using my old clubs and shooting in the upper 80's and occasionally mid 90's. Never took a lesson prior to living in San Diego. His grip was a typical baseball grip and his consistency was all over the place. Frustration was pretty high, and we had tried 2 PGA certified professionals at Golf Courses (which I do not recommend, and will not mention where we went.) We had often gone to Stadium to hit golf balls, and they certainly have a number of Pro's there, but my son looked over all of them and thought that Justin would be the one we should invest our time into. After 3 lessons, Justin had changed my son's grip, his swing, his stance and his overall attitude about the game. Anyone who has ever played golf, knows that its not a game you can muscle through or get by with simple athletic ability. My son's biggest hurdle was to be patient with his progress and practice what Justin was telling him. Having a second set of eyes on him, and helping him see his mistakes either thru comments or video - really helped. Over the course of 3 years, and probably 20-30 lessons (either there at Stadium, or walking on courses while playing with Justin), my son's score has dropped to averaging around par on most courses. His attitude has changed dramatically about the game, and he considers Justin a friend and mentor. He became one of the better high school golfers in the city, and placed well in local and state wide tourney's. (best scores - non tournament play - 62 at Mt. Woodson, 68 at Carmel Mountain Ranch.. tournament play - 69 at Red Hawk, 69 at SCGA in temecula and 71 at PGA west in Palm Springs) Justin was a rare find and truly helped my son develop into a better golfer. Golf is not a one lesson type of sport to excel at, but if you have the time and the attitude to work toward improving your game - then Justin is your guy. read more

Just broke par for the first time and couldn't be happier! Right from the start you know Justin won't be forcing you into his system. He asks tons of questions about your experience and what you would like to get out of your lessons with him. He won't pressure you into changes you aren't comfortable with and the video analysis from each lesson gives you something to refer back to time and time again. More than half the guys I play with on a regular basis all go to Justin and we're all thrilled with the experience. read more

Justin has helped me learn and understand how a golf swing works. He has taken my skill set and improved every part of my game. The game is so much more enjoyable with his guidance, part of this is his patience to work with you on the process of learning good golf swing fundamentals. I have benefited in confidence from his instruction that has allowed me to compete and win tournaments. Thanks Justin ! Jon F read more

I came to Justin for a golf lesson on the recommendation from my brother. Justin is definitely a student of the game and knows his stuff. He is very friendly and provides great insight. I will continue to use Justin for my golf instruction because my goal is to win the 2015 Masters. Well, not really. But I want to score well and have an idea of what is going on with my swing. The session was not rushed and Justin really took his time explaining why things are/aren't happening... and why he suggests certain changes to your setup, grip, and swing. He had me watch videos of pro's to see what they do while playing golf. The things they focus on, etc. Justin would also have me watch him swing the club while explaining to me what to look for. I've had a golf instructor before and he wasn't nearly as interactive with me. Justin will also record the lesson highlights on video and give a nice narration and recommendations for practice sessions. Without this, I probably would have forgotten some key elements to remember when it is time to practice. I look forward to improving my game with Justin's help. read more

Justin is fantastic; I really like his approach to tailor the lesson to the student's golf goals and physical abilities. He's also very good at keeping lessons focused and not changing too much every time. The prior instructor I worked with was giving me a checklist every week and it was overwhelming. Justin also very good at editing the video so that you can refresh your memory of the lesson and as a bonus the video has always been emailed to me within 24 hrs if not the same day... I played maybe 5 times in my youth and at 44 years old my wife and I decided to learn. After 8 weeks of weekly 1 hr lessons my swing has improved significantly. It takes patience and effort to build a golf swing so don't think it's easy. Justin is definitely the right person to help you get there! read more

Justin is a great coach and helped make my swing become much more consistent. He is patient and simplifies concepts for you. Each step of the way, Justin will focus on how the swing feels so that the student can understand the changes. The videos that he makes after each lessons are also very helpful as I refer back to them when I struggle. Definitely, one of the best coaches in San Diego. read more

I visited Justin for a lesson a few months ago and I can't say enough great things. My lesson with Justin was different than any other lesson I have had. I grew up playing golf, have worked at golf courses all through high school and college, and ended up playing college golf. I've spent countless hours working with different teachers. The typical lesson goes like this: meet the pro, talk for 5 minutes about goals, start doing video analysis, the pro tells you 5 things to work on, and off you go. Justin's lesson couldn't have been more different. We first talked on the phone for 15+ minutes. He wanted to know everything about my game and what my issues were. During the lesson we literally talked for about 45 minutes, which is exactly what I needed! He quickly focused in on my mental game issues and my history of over analyzing. We talked about goals, fear on the course, process, what to focus on during the round, and pre shot routine. Going in I didn't need a mechanical lesson, I needed mental coaching, and that is exactly what Justin did. The results have been significant! During college my handicap was around a 2. It ballooned up to about an 8-10 over the last year. Over my last 8 rounds since the lesson I have probably been around a 4. I'll for sure be going back. I highly recommend Justin! read more

I've used Justin's services and have seen continued improvement in my golf game - and lower scores. He's a keen observer of technique, routine and adjusting your mental attitude. The things he taught me have made playing golf fun. I highly recommend him. I promise your game will be better for it. read more

I have been working with Justin for close to 2 years now and have never had so much fun playing golf. What I like about Justin's approach is that he works with MY swing, he doesn't try to teach me HIS swing, he keeps it simple and step-wise, and he keeps it fun. I enjoy hitting on the range now, my index has dropped substantially and my friends all comment on how my game has improved. I now look forward to tournaments and challenging courses. Thanks Justin! read more

When I started with Justin I was routinely shooting mid to high 90s with a big slice and no idea what a good golf swing felt like. With his simple, patient teachings focusing on grip, setup, and swing Justin broke 30 years of bad habits. After a year of lessons I now score low to mid 80s, am 20-30 yards longer with each club, and, most importantly, know what a proper golf swing feels like. Throughout the lessons Justin used a wide variety of teaching methods and reinforced each session with video emailed as a followup. Forget all those swing gimmicks and golf channel shows, if you want to improve your game and learn how to truly swing a golf club, go see Justin. read more

I've been working with Justin for about a year and my game has improved tremendously. He is intuitive and insightful and meets his students where they are. Justin helps you identify and build the right sequence of both technical and mental skills to maximize your ability. He's a very good guy and his approach to golf instruction is practical and common sense, tailored to each student. read more
