Testimonials
I learned more in 2 hours than past 30 years.
First off, I wanted to thank you for the lesson yesterday. I learned more about my game in those two hours than in the past 30 years playing. While it was a lot to digest, I found I was able to realize some success at the driving range today. I hit about 100 balls and left feeling happy that you have put me on the right path. What a feeling!!!

Best golf instruction I have ever received.
Jim's coaching has allowed me to understand my swing, such that I now have the awareness and understanding for how to make the necessary 'on course' adjustments when my old tendencies creep in. This has allowed me to lower my handicap and increase my enjoyment of the game.
