I've been a student of the great game of golf for a little over 20 years and continue to learn every day. One of my most significant accomplishments was achieving my first hole-in-one only two years into my playing journey. I've played in multiple recreational tournaments and have had the privilege of teaching my kids this great game. My philosophy is that golf should be fun and the process of playing better should be enjoyable. If you enjoy it and have fun, you'll want to play more, which means you'll ultimately get better.

"My lesson with Earl was quite helpful, especially in highlighting how small adjustments in my grip and stance can improve my iron shots. Though I still need to work on consistency, I feel more aware of what to focus on next. Still, I’m encouraged to keep practicing and see how things develop. If you’re looking for someone who pays attention to the details and can guide you through specific aspects of golf, Earl might be worth trying.

"Coach Mitchener really knows his stuff. He gave me a few drills to work on because I keep left out of the swing. He demonstrated what it should feel like to keep your chest “covering” the ball to keep from lifting. He made me feel comfortable and didn’t rush through the lesson.
