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

Jacob is one of those rare instructors who knows how to instantly diagnose your most critical…read moreerrors and precisely how to address it. This requires both expertise and intense observational skills; but what sets Jacob apart as a coach is his delivery. As a coach, Jacob has a crisp clarity + genuine warmth that clearly sets him apart as a truly exceptional teacher. With an infectious encouragement despite your skill level, Jacob is an outstanding coach + amazing ambassador to the sport of golf! On a personal note, this total noob went from not being able to even make contact with the ball, to being able to hit both irons + driver within 6 lessons. For how insanely difficult this sport is to maintain progress and hit consistently -- especially for this athletically challenged human -- those results speak for themselves. A rare gem indeed.

Eventually I hit a plateau and was no longer improving. Thanks to Coach Jacob's guidance and expertise, I quickly saw a significant improvement in my swing, accuracy, and overall game. He helped me develop a consistent swing and taught me important strategies for both long and short shots. He really goes the extra mile and records videos that helped me out a ton when I practice alone. What I appreciated most about Coach Jacob is his passion for the sport and his desire to help me succeed. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with such a knowledgeable and supportive coach, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their golf game.

Dave Patchin Golf…read more Dave Patchin is an instructor that helps you find positive results on the golf course. Dave tailors your instruction whether you choose to have feedback individually or in a group. He has the ability to quickly assess why your stroke is raising your score. Dave's teaching style is understandable, practical and intuitive. In a group, he is able to determine the specific skills you need to address. His instruction is not one size fits all. Dave is able to assess what I need to work on while the student next to me is working on an entirely different skill that is unique to them. I always look forward to taking lessons with Dave.

Been taking lessons with him for about 8 months now. He has been patient, positive, and keeps me moving forward in my game. In a situation where sometimes a coach needs to physically adjust your stance or body position, I would also feel safe recommending Jason to any of my lady friends. A cool thing about Coach Jason is that he is also great with kids- he has been coaching my 8 year old who is not interested in sports at all. Jason shows a LOT of patience and keeps it for fun for my boy. It's been a wonderful experience.

Christie Quinn is the ultimate golf professional. I think that she has forgotten more about golf…read morethan I will ever know. A friend encouraged me to take a lesson from Christie. I must admit I felt intimidated knowing she is a competing LPGA pro. But armed with my desire to improve my golf game I scheduled a lesson. Christie put me at ease right away and before I knew it I was answering her questions about my goals and the problems as I saw them, the things that I enjoyed about the game, what my priorities were, where I thought I was in the process and where I wanted to go. What makes her a really great coach is that she is an expert at getting inside of one's head where the real game of golf is played and begins her teaching there. Christie is very skilled at helping me to define MY best swing that will allow me to play my best golf. That includes recognizing the things I do well and the things I do less well. She uses her iPad to record my swing and then we review it together. She also has a golf bag filled with a lot of odd learning tools....but it works! She is patient. She is able to break things down and explain them in a way that I can learn and relate. Christie knows all the moves, knows the techniques and can demonstrate them all. She knows all about the equipment and the rules and how to strike the ball that is plugged in the bunker...heck, she competes on a professional level. But for that hour that she spends teaching me how to play the game...she makes it all seem so simple. Seriously, I am becoming a golfer. No matter where you are with your golf game, I highly recommend Discover Your Swing with Christie Quinn You can thank me later. :)

Working with Christie during my Duffer's Series, 5 Lessons was a learning experience I will never…read moreforget. Initially, Christie asked me a variety of questions. I learned these questions allowed her to determine how best to communicate with me to achieve my desired goals. Christie's use of this information allowed me to clearly understand concepts and strategies. (I hate it when people talk to me in their terms and I am supposed to understand). I valued that detail. Christie's extensive experience, and training in playing and teaching golf is obvious. Our sessions were fun and varied, yet focused. We not only used golf clubs, we used a rope, pool noodle, and my favorite a racquetball racquet to demonstrate and understand concepts. Christie used her I Pad to video and review certain aspects of our sessions. She explained and showed me my balance is my biggest saboteur. She sent me video to make sure I reviewed and understood what she saw. Christie modified my stance, grip and my swing plane...darn near everything except my putting stroke. I learned putting challenges. Christie also offered several ideas to reconstruct my psychological approach to the game. Her professionalism, encouragement, insight, and patience were key in my looking forward to practicing and attending each session. Since my final lesson, concepts are easily remembered and applied. I am playing better golf than I ever have. I enjoy playing so much more. Christie, Thank You

It's $90 for 4 classes for Level 1/2 for 1 hour and $135 for Level 3/4 for 4 classes that are 1.5 hours.
