“Honestly, I think the lesson with Eric was quite helpful, especially since the coach's professionalism made it easy for the kids to stay engaged. They are pretty happy, which says a lot. Still, I’m looking forward to seeing how much I can improve next time around and maybe work on a few specific aspects. If you're interested in a focused, down-to-earth approach, it seems worth giving Eric a try.”

Eric is an excellent coach. Being a beginner, I went from missing the ball and driving my club in the dirt to hitting 160+ yard shots with my irons. He takes his time, he's very knowledgeable about the game and for the price you won't find coaching like it! Weather you're a beginner or looking to polish your game, I highly recommend him!

It's been a solid experience working with Eric. I appreciated his real-time feedback that clearly showed me how my swing improved. Still, I think I need to keep building on the concepts from the first lesson, but I’m confident I’ll see progress if I keep at it. If you're looking for a measured and helpful lesson, Eric’s worth trying.

“Coach Eric is excellent. I’ve been golfing for fun for a decade and he helped redefine my swing in an easy, intuitive way that got me making better compression and getting easy extra distance after a single lesson.”
