About
After over 37 years teaching golf, it still amazes me how many instructors make learning golf complicated! At Mike Riso Golf our mantra is: We make learning golf simple. Learning to swing correctly often becomes a struggle for people because most golfers try to figure out how to play without finding an experienced teaching professional. Our job is to make a very challenging game a lot easier! Much like an experienced lawyer, doctor, financial advisor, or mechanic, we have decades of experience to solve problems quickly and easily. Unfortunately, most 'do it yourselfers' simply don't I have the proper knowledge base. And self teaching online rarely solves the problem. If you're new to the game you'll want to learn the basics first. This includes, how to hold the club, aim and set up to the ball properly, and swing so your ball flies up in the air and goes straight. If you already play, I'll show you the fundamental keys that will fix whatever challenges you're facing. Any areas: putting, chipping, wedges, sand shots, drives, and on-course strategy all can show quick improvement. If you have golf club questions, I can help there too by sending you 3 FREE handouts. Look forward to hearing from you!

Although I'm only thru one lesson so far, I've been really impressed with how much care Michael puts into his teachings. Even though we had a torrential rain as we started our lesson and we only spent 20 min that far, he offered a solution for both of us to go to an indoor facility 25 minutes away just to really have an uninterrupted golf session and hence a great impression on my side. He is truly great not only as a pro golf teacher but as an individual who understands people who are struggling with their game and would do anything to improve their game! Tkx Mike for your professionalism and for not letting the rain wash away our first lesson!!! Big deal!!!

My first lesson with Mike was an amazing experience. Mike has a way of explaining the theory so that it makes sense, and is easy to apply in practice. Additionally, Mike weaves in golf history and facts into his lessons, which made for an immersive experience. I am relatively new to the game and I saw a noticable difference after our first class. Looking forward to our future lessons!
