"Met with Tanner at the Whitesburg location for a lesson for my 15yr old son. He was an excellent coach and did not come across as a salesman. The facility is pretty neat. Nearly unmanned, and accessible by PIN code after booking a bay. 24/7 access and currently doing membership discount. The virtual driving range (and courses, etc.) give so much data and feedback on your swing. It’s really cool.
