John never responded to my emails. Except for the one where he gave his phone number (no other text…read moreor responses to my questions). He never returned my calls. I scheduled an appointment online and got a confirmation (and a reminder email). He never showed up, and the golf course mentioned that at least 4 other people had also been ghosted after paying and booking. Sounds like this is more recent - Nobody has been able to get in touch with him. I can't speak to his actual coaching (and hope he's okay). But sharing this because I would have known not to purchase if I had seen anything on yelp to warn me. I looked and all positive reviews. And goes without saying that I haven't received a refund.

I made a scheduling mistake for a golf swing assessment that was a meaningful gift from my father…read more I wrote the wrong date in my calendar -- a simple, human error. I thought I had double checked, but with some help from dyslexia, I misread the dates. I reached out, took responsibility, and asked if there was any possibility of flexibility, fully understanding that the policy might not allow it. The response I received from Kelly, Lisa's assistant (writing from Lisa's account) included: "I'm not sure why you felt the need to reach out a second time... I will not be communicating further regarding this matter." I respect policies. And my second email was, indeed Me requesting an honest exception to the policy. It was denied. That didn't surprise me. What surprised me was the tone, which felt unnecessarily dismissive for a first-time client sincerely trying to correct a mistake and build a long-term coaching relationship. A $295 loss for a simple scheduling error is significant, and I was hoping for a more understanding and human exchange. Others may have a different experience, and Lisa may be a strong instructor, but those who value supportive and empathetic communication may want to be aware of how scheduling matters are handled here.

I started lessons with Lisa as a total beginner -- I had literally never swung a golf club before…read more Golf isn't something that comes intuitively to me, but Lisa has been incredibly patient and structured in how she teaches. Every session builds logically on the last, and she's great at breaking things down in a way that makes sense and sticks. Her assistant Kelly has also been wonderful -- super responsive and helpful. I accidentally broke one of my irons (which Kelly had helped me purchase), and she went above and beyond to get it replaced by Srixon for free -- even though I had already thrown the broken club away! If you're new to golf or just want an instructor who's patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about your progress, I highly recommend working with Lisa and her team.

He addressed my posture, grip, stance, swing path, alignment, and hip rotation which were all incorrect. I now have the confidence in my ball striking to really enjoy the game. His anecdotes and stories make the lesson more fun in between shots. I recently won my club tournament at Tilden Park in Berkeley(a course I never played well) and surprised many of my playing partners. I highly recommend his teaching.

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.

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.

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.

With a break in the rain, I had to take advantage and scratch that golf itch. Found a last minute…read moretee time available on a Saturday for a single golfer, and took it. This was my first time playing the course in like 8 years, and I forgot how beautiful this course is. The course itself is on the tougher side, but fun for all skill levels. It definitely challenges all different parts of your game. Even with the rain, the course drained pretty well. Bunkers were in a good shape (I'd know, I hit into plenty of them lol) Something I never experienced before in all the years playing golf was that I had to share a cart with a random player. I got paired with a group of 3, so I ended up sharing a cart with the 3rd. Luckily I'm comfortable enough to do this and the guys I played with were fun. It's something to think about if you are a single, that you might have to share a cart with a stranger. If that's not your thing, I'd prolly walk with a push cart. It's a hilly course but it's a good walk. Pace of play is a bit slow (expected on the weekends) so plan for a 5+ hour round. They had some issues with the conditions of the greens, which is much better now than it was back in the fall but at the time of writing this, they are offering a 15% off green fees, which is notated on their booking website. Recently they made a change to their parking lot, where you have to pay ($3/hr or $15/all day). On top of the green fee, you'll have to pay $15 just to park. I get it's to support the Presidio but with the green fees the prices they are I feel like that's plenty of support. Not a deal breaker but definitely carpool if you can do your group can save some cash for drinks at the turn instead. Overall, as I try to play every course in the Bay Area, price aside, is easily one of the most beautiful public courses you'll find in the Bay Area. Definitely will be playing again.

It has been so nice to train knowing someone is watching my movements while helping me reach my goals. Not only is the gym state of the art but having the swing room, amenities and staff makes it catered to anyone. Everyone pushes each other to be their best selves and it has become a second home in San Francisco.

In my experience, Perform for Golf is an ordinary gym, not a golf-specific training center…read more I was intrigued by P4G's marketing, which promoted elite golf trainers, simulator access, and mental performance coaching. After a pre-call with the owner to discuss my golf goals, I signed up for the monthly subscription. Upon my first visit, I was surprised to learn that my trainer doesn't play golf and doesn't have extensive experience training golfers, but rather specializes in post-natal training for new mothers. The onboarding email told me to bring a 7-iron to my session for swing analysis, but I was informed onsite that I wouldn't need it, as they don't do swing assessments at the Hayes Valley location (maybe they do at other locations). My assessment used none of the technology showcased in this video: https://www.performforgolf.com/how-it-works and had nothing golf-specific. Just some basic stretches and ordinary dumbbell exercises. Aside from the golf branding, the only aspect of the gym that appeared tailored to golf was access to the Titleist TPI mobile app. They highlight that their trainers are TPI certified; however, in researching the program, it appears one can get certified with only ~10 hours of self-paced videos. Hardly the level of elite golf experience that the website testimonials from professional golfers led me to believe. The facility is an ordinary gym. A few mats, racks of free weights, benches, etc. Serviceable, but standard. They do have golf simulators, which members have access to although I didn't have the chance to see one. I had to purchase a package of personal training sessions up front before my initial assessment. My unused sessions were not refunded after my first visit didn't live up to expectations. If you want an ordinary gym with personal training and its locations are convenient, Perform for Golf may be a great option for you. If you're serious about golf and looking for a golf-specific training center, this product falls short of the company's marketing.
