About
FUN! I live by a rule that word. If I am not having fun, then i change what I do. That's probably why you're reading my profile and considering me to assist you with your golf improvement. Why do you play golf? In all likelihood, it is to enjoy yourself, share the company of others who like you enjoy the challenge, but most importantly, to HAVE FUN! Therefore, my overall philosophy is simple; have fun, learn as much as you can while having fun, and know how to apply what you have learned, so your fun and enjoyment is easier to obtain and sustain. Keeping fun as the goal within all my golf coaching programs, I guarantee you'll gain knowledge about why you are performing the way you are now and why certain drills, exercises, swing aids, and other tools will help you improve. You'll know what to practice and how to practice it, with goals set at every level to insure we can measure your progress. Your Golf Improvement Experience should be fun! Fun is the factor that allows you to retain what you learned, motivates you to practice and play more, and provides you with sustainable results. Everyday I coach all skill level of golfers, from Juniors to Seniors, Beginners to Tour Players, Male or Female. I coach all my clients to play smarter golf skills they currently possess. And I coach each to play better golf with an improvement plan that is realistic to their commitment level. What makes it even more fun for me is when you achieve beyond what you believe you are capable of achieving. We'll both get to smile when that happens.

Fantastic start to improving our golf game!My wife and I recently took a series of golf lessons at John Hughes Golf and it was a great experience in our journey to improve our game. What stood out immediately was the initial conversation we had with the owner, John Hughes. He took the time to really understand our goals for the lessons and our overall aspirations for our golf game. This thoughtful questioning made us feel like our individual needs were truly being considered and we were paired with a wonderful coach, Jack Stumpfig. He took the time to understand our current swings, identify areas for improvement and explain the reasoning for recommendations in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. Jack was patient, encouraging, and provided constructive feedback that left us motivated and confident. After the lessons, we had a much clearer understanding of what we needed to work on and more importantly the tools to do so.This was truly a worthwhile investment in our games and we highly recommend John Hughes Golf for anyone looking for effective lessons.

My experience at John Hughes Golf was amazing and exceeded my expectations.1. The service I received from John to arrange the visit was high touch, personalized, and timely. He has a genuine interest in helping golfers meet their goals.2. The facilities at ChampionsGate were top-notch.3. The format of the full-day golf school was excellent and conducive to improving my game - evaluation and practice area / short game work in the morning followed by a playing lesson in the afternoon.4. My instructor, Gibby Gilbert III, was outstanding!!! His experience, knowledge, patience and personality make him a very effective teacher. He used a perfect blend of technology and practical experience during his instruction which resonated well with me. We set and met several goals during my 2 days with him. In addition, he provided me with a framework for continued improvement ahead of the upcoming golf season.I would highly recommend John Hughes Golf to anyone looking to improve their game !

Just completed two days of 1 on 1 training with John Hughes. John is an absolute master instructor who blends range and on course work into a truly transformational event.John emphasizes simplicity and the source that is the precursor to most cause and effect golf instruction.I left knowing exactly what I needed to work on and with an equally important shift in mindset that improving my golf game should be with the goal of having more funnot punishing myself.Yesterday, playing my first round since the class, I shot a 47/43 and can not remember having a more enjoyable and less stressful round.If you are looking for top tier instruction from a guy who will meet you where you are with your current skill level and lead you to a better and more enjoyable game of golf, I could recommend no one more heartily than John Hughes!Thank you,Regan WilliamsChattanooga, TN

Thanks Regan for a great couple of days of golf school! It was great seeing you again and assisting you with getting your game ready for your next important golf dates in 2025. I know you'll have the trust and confidence necessary to meet you goals for both those trips. I'll be looking forward to hearing about your experiences as well as continuing the improvement journey with you. Thanks again for putting trust in me to help you improve your golf skills! All the best! John

I have been golfing for a few years and I have reached a pretty good level on my own. I have trouble finding a good fit for a golf coach until I met John. He is very knowledgeable and is a great teacher. I have learned a lot just from a couple lessons. He is very personable and you can tell that he truly cares about your improvement. If you want to improve your game, John is a great choice!
