I figured I needed individual instruction on the game, so I browsed instructors in the san francisco peninsula area and came across Manny's web page. I liked his philosophy on the game (you can read it on his website). He game me the basic fundamentals of the game with each lesson. Lesson 1: hitting the irons, he showed me the proper stance, grip, posture, swing, and approach. I was doing many things improper with what I thought was a good swing. He showed me a better way. Lesson 2: putting. Probably the most important of them all. He will show you the proper stroke and judgement of line to the hole as well as reading the hole. Lesson 3: using the driver. I had always had problems with the driver, he showed me a better way and the proper way to set up the shot. (I still cant hit the driver as solid but better than before.) Lesson 4: short game. He showed me the flop shot, and the run shot. These 2 I had no idea of, and now it is a lot of fun to attempt them. They are really effective. I am sure glad that I chose him as an instuctor and would recommend anyone who is starting and who has some experience under his/her belt. Other instructors I have looked up charge 60 bucks for 1/2 hour lessons, or a 4 half hour lessons for well over 200 bucks. Manny's price is by far the best value. I paid 190 bucks for four 1 hour lessons!! I think with the skills he showed me, and with a little practice, I will be able to shave some numbers off my game.

Jake is excellent golf instructor/coach, who took time to understand my goals and helped me work…read moretoward them in an individualized way that included swing analysis, drills, and advice on equipment changes. His approach includes both old school and current techniques and training aids, and combines technical swing mechanics and subjective tools like visualization. In my case, I'm a senior, golfing since I was 10 years old, mostly self-taught, and with age have lost consistency and distance on my shots. My goal for golf is to improve or at least maintain my performance (I'm currently a 12 index), without trying to completely change my swing and without putting in hours of practice. I've had a few lessons with Jake and I've been able to improve my ball striking significantly by making some minor setup and swing adjustments he suggested and also by making some equipment changes; Jake identified that the lie angles on my irons were significantly wrong for my current swing and helped fit me for new irons that I hit much better from my first shot with them. I really like Jake's personal, informal approach. He's patient and emphasizes positive feedback to reinforce good outcomes during lessons so that I never feet pressured or discouraged during my lessons with him. If you want improve your golf game, or want to learn to play, I'm confident that Jake can help you. And, as I read in someone else's review, it's fun to watch him hit a golf ball when he demonstrates what he's teaching you!

(Too bad there aren't more reviews of golf pros on here!)…read more I'm a 18 handicapper struggling to find consistency in my game - I wanted to meet with Dan to get a swing check up. Dan's a super nice guy, he had nothing but nice things to say and is a really positive teacher - I think this is key especially for beginners. Technically I think Dan did a good job focusing on the part of my swing that was broken and not focusing on the parts of my swing that are just different (e.g. my grip etc.). It definitely wasn't not a cookie cutter "lets work on your grip, then your takeaway, etc." approach. Dan gave me 2-3 very tangible tips that I think will eventually save me 1-3 strokes and I would definitely come back to him (and recommend him) if I come back for a lesson again. He even gave me range balls after the lesson. Only negative would be that 30 minutes ($80) is too short, and $150 for an hour is out of my price range. If I could I'd get together a group of 3-4 14-24 handicappers and do a 90 minute group lesson for (presumably) the same rate. So in summary - great guy, very enjoyable/helpful lesson and I think could be a good coach for a wide range of players. How I found Dan: New to SF and not lucky enough to be part of a club so I went to my nearest course and pick Dan based on a couple decent online references.

I'd give Dan 5 stars but for the $90 per 30 min lesson.... then again, I feel like I got my money's…read moreworth. In one lesson he fixed my irons, in the next he fixed my driver. Now don't get me wrong, I went to the range several times after each lesson and was good at first, then terrible as I either over corrected or went back to my old habits, but then it just clicked. This morning i was hitting 220 to 250 yard drives into the wind when 200 has always my best. I'm booked for a 3rd lesson because I was screwing up my driver so badly yesterday on the range, that I was sure I'd never fix it on my own, but then I remembered Dan's insistance on swing plane, and I tried what felt like a crazy low and wide sweeping back and thru swing - and BAM I hit a monster drive perfectly straight. A little tinkering and I hit something like 20 in a row that would count as my best drives ever if I were on a golf course. What i liked about Dan is that I told him I'm more or less a once per year golfer which happens during an annual vacation when I'll get in 4 or 5 rounds, and my trip was coming up and I just wanted some basic help. So he gave me some really basic and easy to emulate tips. It is more or less completely different than my previous swing, but really, really simple too. After this morning I don't feel like I "need" a 3rd lesson.... but then again I am having trouble switching btwn my irons and the driver - they are pretty different swings. So if another $90 has me doing that - man will I be excited to see how that translates on the golf course. I'm not a beginner - I've taken lessons in the past - the last time 10 years or so ago, so I'm not sure that a beginner would have instant success. Then again, I had really bad and ingrained wrist and swing plane issues - so who knows. But for me - 3 lessons and 6 or 7 buckets of balls to hit the ball the way I did this morning.... amazing. As someone else said - skip the new driver and go with the lessons.

I completed my initial 90 min assessment w/ Lisa last Friday and I thought it was great. First, she talks to you about your golf history, goals, and where you think your game needs to improve. She then studies your body's movements and its limitations through a series of exercises and stretches. After looking at what equipment you're using (we breezed past this because I recently got fitted), she analyzes your swing and then formulates a plan. For me, the focus was on my basic setup: grip, ball position, and squaring my body and club face. I know that sounds super basic, but Lisa helped me develop a solid preshot routine that increases my chances of putting a good swing on the ball. The next day, I played Harding, and then Tilden the day after that. Typically after a lesson, my scores skyrocket (in a bad way) as I battle between my "old swing" and implementing new information. This time, however, my scores DROPPED by an average of 9 strokes. I guess having a repeatable, aligned, and square set up is important. Lol. Thanks Lisa! I'll be back for another lesson after I complete my "homework" from our first appointment.

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.

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.

My son enjoys the games they play and especially the prize at the end. The Pokemon card prize give-away keeps him coming back for more. Mr Peter usually has 2-4 junior coaches (or senior, his father) that help out to give individualized coaching. Over time, they work on putting, chipping, using a tee, occasionally driving at the driving range. He has ample golf clubs your kid can borrow and they'll fit you with the right size. He emphasizes safety first, and tries to make the kids laugh. My 5 year old finds him hilarious. The lessons are nearly all year-round. During the summers when he runs the weekday summer camps for the kids, he doesn't have the Saturday sessions. Sunday sessions are all year-round, however. The nice thing about these lessons, is that they're pretty flexible. My son sometimes hurts various parts of his body, sprained foot or ankle, arm pain after his vaccines, and can't make it to the lessons. So, we'll take a break, sometimes for several weeks, but the lessons will still be operating as usual when we are ready to return!
