Bob was able to instantly identify what I was doing wrong and correct it with simple instructions that I could apply right away. Within a few swings I couldn’t believe the results, looking forward to the rest of the lessons.

I had my first lesson with Bob and after my first hour with working with him my decision was very clear on continuing our working relationship with his package of additional lessons. I went into the first lesson consistently hitting the ball extremely to the right and came out of it hitting it straight and further than I had going in. Bob uses video's of your swing to demonstrate what you are doing well and what you need to work on. His explanations are clear in what you need to do. I left my lesson and was able to translate what we had worked on and extend it beyond the specifics of the clubs we had worked with to the rest of my bag. I look forward to the rest of my lessons to see just how far working with Bob Ackerman can take me this season.

Do yourself a favor, get in touch with Bob Ackerman. I started going to lessons with Bob and it was purely beneficial for not only my golf game, but then mental side of the sport as well. He adapts to your abilities and brings out the best in YOU. Whether you want to shave strokes off your game or just make the weekends more enjoyable; his professionalism and techniques will help make the game more enjoyable as a whole. Thank you Bob, see you next time.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$100 per hour, package of 6 one hour lessons for $500.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Interview the customer to define his most pressing issue and then improve on that as quickly as possible and then go on to the next. My goal is to get the player a lot better as fast as I can and then keep them better as long as I can. This is my nature because of my background as a competitive golfer.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been to countless seminars, read countless books, watched countless videos, taken lessons from the top teachers in the world but the best education and training I received was from my father growing up and then the experience from playing competitive golf all my life, instructing golfers on the lesson tee for 35 years and club fitting for 21 years with the same company. I've learned by doing.
