I participated in a group lesson with 2 of my friends. We absolutely loved learning how to golf together. During our lessons, Chris was able to dedicate time and instruction to each of us while also letting us practice our skills independently. He provided clear and consistent feedback and helpful tricks and tips. We had a lot of fun, many laughs, and it was truly an invaluable experience. Chris was patient, responsive, dedicated, and easy going. I highly recommend group lessons as it was enjoyable learning a new sport with friends. Thank you Chris for all your help and support! We can all truly say that we enjoy golf and are eager to play again!

I'm getting pretty good at golf with Chris's help, especially since he adapts to my learning style, pretty patient in that way. The lesson highlighted how important a calm approach is, and I definitely see improvements in my game. Though I still want to keep refining overall, I think working with him is a solid move. If you're looking for someone who truly considers your needs and can adapt, Chris is worth trying.

I feel like I actually learned a lot during the lesson. Chris was patient and really knew how to guide us through playing on the course, which made a noticeable difference in our game. Still, there's definitely room to improve, but it’s encouraging to see progress. If you’re interested in genuinely understanding how to play golf beyond just range practice, it’s worth considering him.

I’ve had a few lessons with Chris and each is better than the last. Perfectly balances giving insightful advice without overwhelming you with too many improvements at once. I think is biggest strength is identifying all the ways you could improve your game, but narrowing in on the one most important one that you should focus on to get better

Our 4 year old is really interested in playing golf and we didn’t know what to expect since she’s a 4 year old but Chris worked with her the whole lesson, kept her engaged and she had a blast. We also grabbed a few great videos. Would recommend if you have kidos interested in taking a lesson.
