Jeong can speak both Korean and English. Focuses on the fundamentals and having great form. He really tries to make sure we don’t develop bad habits that we may have developed through casual play.

He is very energetic and sends me lots of information about my swings. I still don’t know that I’m doing right but at least I have proof that which part of my swing is not properly.

Each time after the lessons, he provided the link to the video clip about the previous lesson. It really helped to review and check what’s improving and what needs to be improved.
