I cannot recommend Peter highly enough! As someone who has struggled with a dreaded slice for years, I was amazed at how quickly he identified and addressed the root causes of my issues. His approach is not only tailored to my skill level but also incredibly easy to understand, breaking down complex mechanics into simple, actionable steps. What sets Peter apart is his emphasis on the fundamentals—grip, stance, and alignment—while also teaching modern techniques to generate power and improve accuracy. Within just a few lessons, my ball flight straightened out, my short game became more confident, and my overall consistency improved dramatically. He’s patient, professional, and genuinely passionate about helping his students achieve their goals. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player looking to fine-tune your game, Peter will absolutely elevate your performance on the course. Book a lesson—you won’t regret it!

Beyond technical skills, Peter Bakker is an incredible communicator and motivator. As a PGA professional he always made me feel empowered, whether I was fine-tuning my short game or working on mental strategies to stay focused under pressure. In just six months, my handicap dropped from a 16 to an 8, and I now enjoy the game more than ever!
