I have just moved to The Villages and knew nothing about golf and really needed an instructor who…read morewas patient with a true beginner. Luckily for me, I found a great program. If you have ever thought about trying the game of golf...then this is the place you need to come to for outstanding golf instruction. These golf classes caters to ladies only. And the classes are limited to 6 students. This way, you get personal attention & instruction. The 10 hour class I attended , met Monday - Friday for 2 hours a day. Also, the instructor offers private lessons for both men and women. Sandra Chester is the LPGA teaching professional that will guide you through the basics along with her great assistant Kim. They have excellent booklets, with great illustrations for both right and left handed golfers. The booklets cover everything from general golf course information to equipment that you will need. From day 1 we not only had indoor class time, we also headed outside for hands on putting. I would truly recommend these classes to all ladies from the beginners to those who just want to learn the correct way to stand, hold your club, or just improve your game. Thanks to Sandra and Kim, I now feel that I can play a game and not make a total fool of myself. These ladies know the game of golf but more importantly, they know how to teach the rest of us the game!!! I plan on taking a few private lessons just to refine my swing.

Sandy did a great job at their week-long golf school. I had never played before, and after this…read moreprogram, I was able to join the ladies from my neighborhood and actually hit the ball! She had a club-by-club method that really gets you to understand the mechanics of golf and your body. You also get handy books that she wrote to refer back to once you leave her lessons. I went back after two years and took a couple of private lessons to advance my game. Made a huge difference in my playing.

This was my first experience with formal golf instruction. (I'm a bit of a cheapskate) The offer…read morepopped up on Facebook, and the price for the scoring clinic was so low I couldn't say no. My expectations were pretty low, but I was MORE than pleasantly surprised. The facility is immaculate! The course is one of the finest I've seen, and all the practice areas are just as well cared for. Brian, the director of instruction who was conducting the clinic, greeted us at the carts. He quickly processed my payment, then chatted with the other participants and I while we waited for a couple of others. When it was apparent they weren't coming, Brian got to work. He provided us with a folder that contained a waiver, some brochures, and some documents we could use to track our data (yardage with each club, progress putting, etc). Brian gave us a thorough explanation of what they were for and how to use them. We were provide drinks & sunscreen to keep safe & healthy. With that, we were off to the "classroom". Brian talked about how we could adjust our posture to make our swing (in putting, chipping and pitching) more consistent. Since this was a short game scoring clinic we started on the putting green. Brian gave us some technical information, then some drills to practice what he'd explained. It was similar with our work on chipping & pitching. Along the way Brian used some high tech electronic gizmos to help reinforce his teaching and to measure how far we were hitting the ball. Super helpful information for those firms he gave us earlier. Before I knew it our time was up! Normally 2 hours in Florida heat feels like an eternity, but we were having fun and learning so much the time flew by. Brian gave us some nice souvenirs and sent us on our way. He made a point to remind the class that he hoped to see us out again, or at least to let him know how we were improving. He was truly interested in helping us improve and enjoy the game more.

I got sick of not being able to improve by my mid 40's and started to look for lessons that would help me improve or quit the game as I spent thousands of dollars each year on golf. Within 5-6 lessons with Adam he fixed 3-4 of the big problems in my golf swing and got me as close to a pro golf swing as I have ever experienced. I wish I had taken lessons from Adam 20 years ago. This was the best value per dollar for golf lessons I have ever seen or experienced. If you want to improve you golf game quickly, the quicker you can engage with Adam the better off you will be.
