If your child is playing competitive junior golf, you know how hard it is to get them to practice…read moreintentionally. We discovered The Golf Garage after noticing that some of the top players in our 9-year-old son's tournaments were training here. Booking a lesson with Mike was the best decision we've made for his game. This is not just hitting balls into a screen. Mike combines video analysis, TrackMan data, and advanced AI to compare your child's swing mechanics directly against the ideal blueprint. The impact was instant. Instead of mindlessly pounding balls at a traditional driving range, our son completely changed his approach. He slows down, uses the video feedback to check his setup, hits the ball, and then walks over to the computer to analyze his data. He craves that instant feedback, and it has taught him incredible discipline. The results speak for themselves. After working with Mike for just a short time, our son has gained at least one club length on his irons and a massive 30+ yards on his driver. While you can never completely replace playing on real grass, The Golf Garage is absolutely the missing piece for elite, data-driven training. If you want your kid to truly compete and win, go see Mike.

The lesson is located at Boulder Creek which i found was a private gold course right hidden in back next past Almaden Lake. I saw turkeys coming in and a coyote and deer on the way out. So awesome!! It was kind of a cold day, foggy, but was beautiful on the course and luckily warmed up throughout the lesson. U can park then make ur way to the range which is the walk way in front of parking lots. Sean is so nice and friendly and makes u feel great even when the ball goes awry. He helped me correct my swing so I'm rotating and using my whole torso/body instead of just my arms. Also my stance and grip. This was my first lesson and we already saw improvement in how far the ball was hit! I would def recommend Sean and will be back for more lessons!!

Sean is a great observer of the golf swing. After watching me swing and after hitting a few balls,…read morehe knew exactly what I needed to improve my swing. He asked me questions and explained the how and why of what he was asking me to do so that I could reproduce it when practicing. He then went on to show me a series of drills that I can use at home to improve my short game pitching and chipping. He is a patient and excellent golf instructor and I would not hesitate to recommend him for lessons.

My 2024 resolution was to improve my golf game. I was a 20 handicap. I play an average of 2 rounds…read moreper week. I bought a lesson package and my Coach Andrew Loughrin proceeded to resolve my issues: slice, chunk, no weight transfer, etc. Being a lefty player, many coaches have a hard time providing appropriate instructions but not Andrew. He seamlessly worked the computer swing clips and allowed me to visualize the parts of my swing that needed attention. He provided great drills and encouraged me to practice (LOL). The GolfTec app provides a summary and clips of the session as well. Andrew's instructions finally clicked together, few months into it, I now have a 16 handicap!!!! I just competed for the first time in the NCGA Women Net Amateur at Poppy Hills GC (a 2 days events) and WON FIRST PLACE IN MY FLIGHT!!! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DuZBUWmBCCJU&ved=2ahUKEwjzvMGtjMmMAxWLJzQIHd7iHlcQtwJ6BAgMEAI&usg=AOvVaw1sBDfWFFnQwG0mQCy2tjKK Thank you Andrew!

Marcus was great. From the signing up to the instruction. He worked with my skillset (or lack…read morethereof) and didn't try to have me do things my body just won't do. This was my second set of lessons with Marcus. Unfortunately, after only one lesson of the ten I just purchased, I got a call from the Regional Manager telling me Marcus no longer worked for the company. I could only guess he got fired because I just had a lesson with Marcus that very morning and he never said anything. I also had other lessons booked with him in the future. I asked the Regional Manager about a refund and he said that I could get a refund since it was within the 30 day window of purchasing the 10 lesson package. When I was told what my refund would be, in was far less than I expected, since I only took 1 lesson. They said the way they worked their refunds was based on time, not number of lessons. Which is absurd to me. So, if after 29 days, I had not taken any lessons, I would not be refunded all of my initial payment. On the flipside, if I had taken 9 lessons in those 29 days, I would have been refunded the same amount as if I had taken zero lessons. I brought this scenario up to both the manager at the Pleasanton store (who was not friendly or helpful at all) and the Regional Manager (who was more friendly and more helpful) and they both agreed this would be the case. They also told me that there would be no way someone could take that many lessons in that short of time because of the way their scheduling works. I also explained that my first lesson was cancelled by Marcus and therefore I was shorted one lesson in that 29 day period. So, I should be compensated for that. They did not agree and went back the fact that there refund policy is based on time, and not lessons. This is a horrible policy that only benefits the company. So, while the lessons may be beneficial, beware of the company policies. There are tons of great golf instructors out there that will treat you fairly and won't mislead you. Also, please note that the lessons are based on 30 minute lessons, not 60 minutes. It's hard to get anything accomplished in 3o minutes so you end up using two lesson credits if you want an hour lesson. So my 10 30-minute lessons was really 5 60-minute lessons. This makes the cost of the package not worth it, in my opinion.

I have golfed a lot when I was younger but never had a lesson. I was able to get down to a decent…read morehandicap but I was just working with my slice and my home-grown golf swing. I had kids and started a business and took about 15 years off of golf. Like everyone else, I got back into golf during the pandemic. I felt like I was starting over. After a few months of scores over 100 I decided to seek out golf lessons. Steve came highly recommended by a friend. I had watched every youtube video on the web about getting rid of my slice and gave each tip an honest try. Steve taught me to focus on being relaxed and keeping a nice tempo. He also showed me how completing the rotation of my shoulders in my follow through automatically squared up my clubface at impact. In my 2nd lesson I was able to hit some of my iron shots pure. By my third lesson they were going longer and my swing felt so smooth and effortless. I started regularly shooting rounds in the low 90's on the hardest courses in the area. By lesson 6 I started to be able to regularly hit a draw on my driver with a slight inside out path, keeping my balance, and getting that club face closed with my shoulders on the follow through. I have now had 8 lessons and I am shooting in the high 80's on hard courses pretty regularly. Now pretty much every time I am out someone stops me and tells me how great and effortless my swing looks. I am hitting more fairways, more greens, and my short game lessons have improved my putting and my chipping. I am now making almost everything from 6 feet in, and have significantly improved my longer putts. I still have good days and bad days, but my bad days are better than my good days were before my lessons. Lastly, Steve is the best deal in town from a bang for your buck stand point. I paid $150 for a 4 lesson package which comes out to only $37.50 per lesson. You can't find a better deal.
