Robert is a friendly and knowledgeable golf instructor. I really appreciated how timely he was in his response and his overall positivity when working on my golf game. I highly recommend taking a lesson with Robert, regardless of your level of skill.

Robert spent time talking to me about my golfing journey and previous instructors that I had seen before my actual lesson. He used "out of the box" techniques to help me feel the club and find my swing and as a result I shot a low score on my next outing. I will definitely recommend him to my friends.

It was my first time ever golfing and I think I made the right choice with my coach! He made me feel comfortable and was easy going but helpful.

Robert is wonderful, fun, knowledgeable, and makes the lesson approachable instead of intimidating. He is a perfect match!

I have just begun working with Robert and have had 2 lessons. He is very knowledgeable and as a senior, I had concerns about returning to the game after a 4 year hiatus with a swing that was sure to hurt my back. Robert introduced me to a great easy swing technique that I'm now trying to improve. He is easy going, patient, and a funny guy. He doesn't push beyond your limitations, but helps you get past them. I would highly recommend him and plan to have him work with my non-golf wife, when the time comes. He also has interesting homework to improve and I am anxious to take these new techniques to the golf course, once I am in better shape. You will really enjoy him and the experience. Spencer Johnson

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  I offer a discount if the customers buys a series. 4 lessons are $240.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  We start with a little chat about why they want to play golf, if they have any injuries and what other sports do they play. Then we start with contact, getting the ball off the ground, then we add distance and accuracy.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I am a certified USGTF and The Easiest Swing in golf coach. I have also worked with some of the greatest teachers and players in the game including Mike Austin, Paul Runyon, Eddie Merrins, Jim Flick, Fred Shoemaker, Tim Galloway and John Marshall.
