" Ina was terrific for me. Before Ina my handicap was 30 plus or minus 5. After a couple of lessons, and a few weeks of playing and adhering to Ina’s easily applied weight distribution and maintaining spine position, I am happy to say golf is much more enjoyable. My handicap dropped to 20 plus or minus 5 now. I shot an 86 last week on a par 72 course which is my career best. Before Ina when topping or chunking shots I had no idea what I did wrong. Now when I occasionally chunk a shot I know why it occurred. It is easily corrected by reverting back to what Ina taught in those two lessons. Now my goal is to shoot for a 10-15 handicap. I can’t believe how much she has made this game so much more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong I still get frustrated at times - but I am much more consistent and playing better than ever before. Next up will be a couple of lessons on chipping where my game is the most inconsistent at present. No matter what your level is I strongly recommend Ina for anybody desiring improvement and finishing a round with much more satisfaction.

"I can’t say enough amazing things about my experience with Joe! From the moment we started, it was clear how knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate he is about golf. This lesson was beyond worth it, I walked away feeling so much more confident and actually excited about improving my game. He has such a great way of breaking things down so they’re easy to understand, and he made everything feel so comfortable and encouraging. I never once felt intimidated or overwhelmed, which made such a difference!! What really stood out to me was how personalized everything was. He paid attention to the smallest details in my swing and gave feedback that actually made an immediate difference….!! It didn’t feel generic at all, he really tailored the lesson to me and my goals.
