Had my swing evaluation and 30 min intro lesson with Logan yesterday. Overall, it was an incredible…read moreexperience! Logan knows his stuff and knows how to break the swing down. We looked at inconsistencies in my swing and attacked them piece by piece. It was incredibly helpful being able to see my swing frame by frame to highlight what was going wrong, and what was going right. Logan showed me some really great drills to practice on the range to help my ball compression. Also, really appreciate how there was no pushy sales tactics regarding booking another lesson. 100% will be booking another lesson. Took lessons from an older gentleman a few months ago who almost turned me off from seeking "professional" help; so glad I didn't. Thanks for the assistance Logan - look forward to working with you again soon!

Lew Cooper Golf Instruction

A year ago, I casually entered a golf tournament with colleagues before quickly realizing I was…read moregoing to severely embarrass myself. I had 3 months to break a lifetime of terrible habits. I was beyond awful, never kept score, only played for fun/frustration a couple times a year, etc. I found Lew on Yelp and, even though he was further from me than many other instructors, his reviews gave me a good feeling - I called and we started lessons immediately. I told him about my event coming up, my realistic goal of simply not embarrassing myself, but to treat me like a beginner who knew absolutely nothing - we began building a new swing from scratch. Lew didn't just teach me how to fix something, he taught me why it was happening and gave me a pedagogical understanding that has helped me to analyze and solve my own problems outside of our lessons. He is incredible at diagnosing problems, trying multiple methods to fix problems until one clicks for you, helping you think from a holistic perspective, and taking time to defuse things when you're mentally kicking your own ass. By the time my tournament came around, I sucked...but I sucked SO much less than I used to. And, most importantly, I didn't humiliate myself (and actually made the winning putt for my team on the 18th). The truth: it's not easy...it's frustrating as hell...there's no magic wand. However, everything is always done for a reason with the result in mind and, if you trust the process, you WILL see the results. Lew has made me love the process - and, to get better at anything, that's the most important aspect. A year later - I'm still happily taking lessons with Lew and my game is lightyears beyond where it was a year ago.

Cocky and disrespectful guy, I never liked his style of teaching. This time he just canceled my…read morelesson because I came in the wrong type of shorts. Well, guess what? If you invite your clients to a private country club, it's your responsibility to explain everything in detail regarding club dress code. It has to be a written explanation point by point describing what is allowed and what isn't. I'm not a member of that club, so I had no clue about their strict policy of not wearing sport shorts. Just canceling someone's lesson due to miscommunication on your part is lame and shows your ignorance and lack of respect for your clients.

I've been playing for over 25 years and have been self taught. I've been consistently in the 90's…read moreand would occasionally get into the high 80's. During a big golf trip two years ago, I developed a major shank in my irons and had lost all confidence in my game. I was back to three digit scores and would celebrate if I broke 100. I took a break and finally decided to seriously consider lessons. I found Laurent through TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) as he was one of the highest rated teachers in the area. I went in for an assessment and in that session alone he was able to address some things that had me go from shank to baby draws at the end. I signed up for a lesson package that consisted of 5x two hour lessons. In my first and only lesson, we focused on iron shots and permanently removing the shank. He tried many different approaches to get me to address my problem and we used the entire two hours to find the right fix. After the lesson, he texted me a practice plan with a breakdown of the drills I needed to do every day. His follow-up and willingness to put in the extra effort in communication outside of the lesson shows he cares and see this as a team effort. He holds you accountable for the effort and discipline needed to succeed. This is where the value of his coaching style stands out, you get way more than you pay for. Rather than go back in for a second lesson, I focused on the drills and implementing what we worked on in my game. I did this all summer on a regular basis. I'm now consistently shooting in the 80's and my playing buddies have noticed the difference. This with just one iron lesson. I'm now anxious to go back and work on some of my iron misses and start working on woods. On top of all the great coaching, he also shows a lot of interest in me personally and has helped me connect with other folks in his network. I feel fortunate to have found him and to be a part of Team Laurent!

Refused to give me his rates until I came in for an assessment. So I came in and he said he would…read moresend me a plan. I had assumed that would be a personalized plan on how we would improve my game. But it was just a list of his rates for different ranges of people. I'm sure the same thing he sends to everyone. If that was all he was going to send, why not just give me that info before the assessment? Also, I understand this is an assessment and not a lesson but I think the assessment is not only for him to assess me but for me to gauge how I like his teaching style. Alas, I didn't get any comment on my swing or what he would be trying to improve. So I asked him over text what his plan for me was but he ignored the question and just responded with something about not competing with youtube or range "pros". edit(Response to his comment): Nothing I said is incorrect. You are right you sent me your rates on Sept 24th 2022 at 12:54pm. That is AFTER the assessment @9am on the same day. I've attached our texts as proof. Perhaps instead of name calling, you could appreciate that my experience was not great and try to improve....

The greens are basically a dang ruff. I don't even know why I brought my putter. Thirdly, and this I might add might be one of the most frustrating parts, almost every hole you have to dodge a redwood tree. Whoever is gardening is not tending to the course one bit and only feeding the trees that ARE POSITIONED ON TOP OF THE TEE BOX. I saw a guy almost make a hole in 1 and IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE HE THINNED HIS SHOT AND NARROWLY MISSED THE MASSIVE TREE ON TOP OF THE TEE BOX. It doesn't help that the people in front of me were genuine NIMRODS. Zero urgency. Bozos. Think they thought they were the only people on earth. Get Nick Shirley out to this place and expose this fraud. $20??!! You're having a laugh man. Rough Sunday afternoon. Hopefully Spiderman makes up for it this evening.
