Whenever I have a rating that goes against what others' ratings are for a particular business, I…read moremake sure to thoroughly evaluate all aspects of the business and my experiences of it. So yes, I have taken a full and complete look at this business and my experiences with it and simply had a different experience than others. I took lessons here awhile back and have recently been taking lessons at a different business recently. The lessons at My Chicago Golf started out well. Marcus was attentive and was able to make a difference in my game. Things were going well. That is, until, he slept through one of our scheduled appointments. His system sends out numerous reminders about upcoming appointments to customers. Unfortunately, it seems that it only sends them out to his customers, and not to him. We had an appointment scheduled, and I showed up fifteen minutes early. His storefront was locked, and knocking and ringing the doorbell did not yield any type of response. Unfortunately, emailing, texting, and leaving voicemails also did not make a difference either as they all went unanswered. After waiting about forty-five minutes for a sixty minute lesson, he finally opened the door. At that time, however, the customer for the next hour was already waiting at the door! That customer was courteous enough to let me use his scheduled hour, and he rescheduled with Marcus. As the lesson went on, Marcus did apologize for sleeping through it. He said that he overscheduled himself that morning, which caused him to oversleep during a nap. He was definitely drowsy throughout the appointment, and wasn't entirely alert or focused on my swing. What disappointed me the most, however, was that he didn't take responsibility for his mishap. Mistakes happen to everyone. Apologizing is only the first step in taking responsibility for those mistakes. He didn't offer an extra free lesson or a refund, or anything for that matter, to make up for his major mistake. This last part that is why he is losing two stars. If he would have taken responsibility for his failures, I wouldn't be as disappointed with him. I even would have used the final lessons I had in the package I purchased. Instead, I let them go unused because I was so let down by him. Missing an appointment completely without notice and/or an acceptable reason is a huge negative and a large problem. These lessons are not cheap. What's even worse is not taking responsibility for it. Mistakes can be overlooked, if the person making those mistakes owns up to them and takes responsibility. Unfortunately that didn't happen here.

Marcus, the owner, has been a fantastic coach so far. He's very charismatic and patient when…read moreexplaining and demonstrating any feedback. As someone who is just getting started golfing, he has really stressed the fundamentals while still pushing me to get to a point where I have the necessary skills to be able to practice and grow independently. The difference I see after each lesson is measurable and I've always left with things to practice (with videos demonstrating the exercise) so I can continue to see growth. Additionally, his location is a fantastic setup with some of the newest golf simulator technology to really enhance the lesson experience. I did a fair amount of research on different golf instructors and facilities in Chicago and am thrilled I landed on My Chicago Golf. I can't recommend Marcus and My Chicago Golf enough.

He has some pretty cool swing analysis equipment and under his guidance for my first lesson I finally felt like I understood the ins and outs of grip, club face, stance, etc. He's incredibly friendly and breaks down lesson based solely off of each individual and their needs. I can't wait to book my next lesson with Steve and continue my new found passion for a sport that I wrote off because I was awful at. Give Steve a shot, you will not be disappointed.

Im amazed at how much my son has improved in a relatively short amount of time. We tried out a lot of golf pro instructors in the past and most were a waste of time and money wish we would have found Tom sooner. My son started losing interest and now he is getting excited again about the next golf season. We live in Oswego so its a little bit of a drive for us but well worth it. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their golf swing he goes above and beyond and truly cares about what he does.

Chris immediately introduced himself and shortly thereafter the coach for that class did as well. The box itself is huge and was quite clean (restrooms includes) considering its where everyone goes to sweat. They have a lot of equipment and it's well organized and color coded. The members were friendly as well which is expected in the crossfit community but not always the case. The warm up was appropriate for what the WOD entailed [20 wall balls, 20 bridges, 20 flutter kicks, 20 pvc pipe dislocations]. This was followed by a mobility skill set. Then The WOD Nancy and finally we ended with a strength set [3x10 KB row,3x10 RDL, 3x10 windshield wipers]. Here are the valleys and to their credit it may have been by design: 1. I thought the mobility set or some different mobility/stretching set may have been appropriate after we finished strength. 2. There was no instruction for the weights to use for the strength portion. % of 1RM or some other bench mark would have been helpful. Over all it was a good experience and I'm glad I dropped in! I'll probably drop in more in the future when I'm in town.
