Testimonials
"Kyle was great and personalized the feedback to work within each person's skills. We recommend contacting Kyle if you want to work on your game, especially for higher handicappers to get into the season in May".
- Carl Tatsuguchi
"I got a lot of value from the instruction from Kyle. We worked on fundamental improvements to the swing and on specific types of shots, which has translated into lower scores and more enjoyment on the course."
- Dan Murray
"I enjoyed the spring tune up. The small class size was good and the cost was reasonable. You gave me a few things to work on, which is ultimately the goal of any short instruction session. I'd be open to doing another group class."
- Pat Scheckel
"One of my goals was to improve my short game. I accomplished that. On a consistent basis, I was close to the flag with my chips and had two putts or less. My average dropped by 3 strokes."
- Anne Walker
"I was struggling to maintain consistency with my shot coming out of the winter months. I signed up for several lessons with Kyle and he was quick to notice what my faults were that created my inconsistency. He explained my faults in a manner that was both educational as well as letting me "get to the answer" which was very encouraging. By the end of my lessons, I was swinging my clubs with greater consistency and was even starting to mix shot shaping into my practice sessions. I would recommend Kyle to anyone as he was very patient and educational to his students."
