Introduction: Hi, my name is Gary Johnson, recognized By Many Golf Agencies As One Of The Best Golf Coaches In Northern California. I Am Former PGA Member/Player and Have Been Doing Golf Instruction For Over 40 Years. I Pride Myself In Staying Current With The Latest Technology And Equipment. I Built A Brand New State Of The Art Indoor 1200 Square Foot Studio In Land Park, Sacramento. I Use The New Sky Trak and EXputt Golf Simulators For Lessons. Our Introductory Lesson Will Be 45 Minutes To 1-Hour Long. I Use This Lesson To See How We Get Along And See If Your Liking What I Can Do For You. The fee for this lesson is $70, I May Be A Little More Expensive Than The Others, But I Am Well Worth It. After This Lesson We Can Decide If You Would Like To Continue And What Lesson Plan Will Work For You. "Learn From The Best" and lower your scores. Gary Johnson Owner And Head Golf Pro At The MoreBirdies Golf Shop 2141 Perkins Way Sacramento, CA 95818 With new golfer's I stress fundamentals, set-up and routine. Learning these to begin with is absolutely essential in making the game easier. If you are a new golfer, I recommend the 10-lesson program, gives us time to stress the basic set-up, routine and fundamentals that are so important. Intermediate golfer's I recommend a 6-lesson package for two reasons, #1- saves money #2- gives me adequate time to evaluate you as a golfer and prepare a plan with you. With advanced players I work very hard on how to contact and control the golf ball. Distance and control is everything. I keep my students to a very manageable level, so I am able to focus on you 120% My Lessons run 45 minutes to 1 hour- I am not a time committed instructor meaning my students do not leave the lesson until they completely understand what we are working on, and we have a plan of attack to move forward.

Gary knows his stuff! Took an initial single lesson and liked what he showed me. Signed up for a 4 lesson set. I've never been able to draw the ball, always a baby fade on well struck balls. On average I was hitting about 4 fairways a round. this past week I hit 11 fairways and two were two paces off of the fairway! i can now (most times) call up a baby draw! Shot 83 last Wednesday, best round in months! I probably will continue with Gary over the next few weeks. Thank you, Gary for saving my game!
