As someone who has been playing at a high level for years, I’ve worked with several instructors — but my experience with Bennett has been on a different level.
Over the course of 25 lessons, we took a truly holistic approach to my game. He dug into the details of my swing using video and data, but also helped me refine areas I’d overlooked: short game scoring, mental prep, course management, and pre-shot discipline. Bennett’s ability to combine technical knowledge with real-world application is what separates him. He’s not just tweaking positions — he’s teaching you how to perform under pressure.
What I appreciated most was the structure and progression of our work. Each lesson built on the last, and I always left knowing exactly what to work on. Whether we were grinding out mechanics or simulating tournament scenarios, he brought the same energy, precision, and commitment to improvement.
If you’re a serious player looking to get better — whether that means winning your club championship, competing in amateur events, or just sharpening every edge — Bennett is the coach you want in your corner.

decided to take up golf for the first time in my 60s, and to be honest, I was a little intimidated at the thought of starting something so new. I’m so grateful I found Bennett.
Over 8 lessons, he made learning golf feel approachable, enjoyable, and completely tailored to my pace. He never rushed me, always explained things in a way that made sense, and celebrated every bit of progress along the way — even the small stuff, which really helped build my confidence.
What stood out most was how patient, kind, and encouraging he was. He created a comfortable environment where I could ask questions, try things out, and learn without any pressure. I now feel confident going to the driving range and even playing a few holes with friends — something I never imagined I’d be doing at this stage of life.
If you’re new to golf — no matter your age — I can’t recommend Bennett enough. He made this experience feel joyful and empowering from day one.

I’ve been playing golf for a few years but always felt stuck around the same score range. After 15 lessons with Bennett, I can honestly say my entire game feels sharper, more consistent, and a lot more fun.
Bennett took the time to understand my tendencies and built a lesson plan that addressed my swing mechanics, short game habits, and mental approach. He never overloaded me with info — just the right adjustments at the right time. We made steady progress each week, and I saw real changes in my ball striking, confidence off the tee, and especially around the greens.
He’s also just a great guy to spend time with — patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you improve. You can tell he loves teaching and knows how to meet you where you’re at.
If you’re an intermediate player looking to break through to the next level, I’d highly recommend working with Bennett. The improvement has been real — and it’s made the game a lot more rewarding.

I’ve been playing golf casually for a few years, but I hit a plateau and knew I needed some structure and real coaching to take my game to the next level. Working with Bennett was exactly what I needed.
From our first lesson, he took the time to understand my goals, evaluate my swing, and pinpoint what was holding me back. Every session felt purposeful — we worked on swing mechanics, short game feel, and on-course decision-making. He’s great at breaking down technical concepts into simple adjustments that actually stick.
What I appreciated most is how invested Bennett was in my improvement. He tailored each lesson to where I was that day, pushed me when I needed it, and always made the sessions fun and focused. I’ve gained distance, consistency, and confidence — and for the first time, I feel like I actually have a plan for how to keep improving.
Highly recommend Bennett to any golfer who’s serious about getting better.

Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 10
Before working with Bennett, I had never picked up a golf club. I was nervous, uncoordinated, and honestly didn’t know where to start. Over the course of 10 lessons, Bennett not only taught me the fundamentals — grip, stance, swing mechanics, short game — but did it in a way that was encouraging, clear, and tailored to how I learn.
He made every lesson fun and progress-focused, and he never overwhelmed me with too much at once. What really stood out was how patient and positive he was. He celebrated small wins and helped me build confidence one shot at a time.
By the end of our 10 sessions, I was hitting the ball consistently, understood how to approach different clubs, and even felt comfortable heading out to the course with friends. I genuinely never thought I’d get here this quickly.
If you’re a beginner looking to learn golf the right way — with someone who knows his stuff and knows how to teach it — I can’t recommend Bennett enough.

Youth players
Working with kidsWhen working with kids, I focus on making the game fun, simple, and confidence-building. I use games, visual aids, and short, energetic drills to keep their attention. Instead of technical jargon, I use relatable analogies (“high-five the sky,” “tick-tock swing”) and celebrate small wins to build excitement. The goal is to help them associate golf with fun and success while gently reinforcing core fundamentals. I prioritize movement, encouragement, and positive energy so they stay motivated and develop a love for the game.
Working with teenagersWith teenagers, I strike a balance between technical instruction and personal connection. I explain the “why” behind drills to spark buy-in, especially for those seeking improvement or competing. I tailor communication style based on their maturity and goals — whether it’s building skills, playing with friends, or prepping for school golf teams. Lessons are structured but flexible, with time for questions, video feedback, and challenges to keep things interesting. I aim to empower them, boost confidence, and make improvement feel achievable and cool.
