Former Division 1 baseball turned golfer, now pursuing a career in golf. In 2023, I entered the PGA Professional Golf Management program, working towards becoming a Class A Golf Professional.

Derek was great, this teach me company is terrible, took $870.00 out of my bank account, said I should have read the fine pr and refuses to refund my money. Again,DEREK IS FANTASTIC, HIGHLY RECOMEND, TEACH ME SUCKS BIG TIME

I know I can call Derek anytime I need something looked at. He fixes me up every time.

It’s good to collaborate with a creative mind such as Derek’s. He has no problem thinking outside the box to help expose talents and minimize weakness. Solid dude.

I am so much more confident and comfortable with my swing now!
