I've completed 6 one hour lessons with Nicole Gerome. I've had a huge improvement from absolute no…read morenothing to being able to golf with confidence and humor around The Villages. I'll be totally honest. I had next to no interest in the game but with so many golf courses here, well, I was missing out on important social opportunities and quality time with husband and friends. So let's give it a shot . Nicole listened and did not try to convince me how awesome golf is, instead we just worked together on skills and I asked questions about the game. She answered simply and I listened. I started playing golf and sort of held my own in the beginning and now I consider myself " not half bad" and enjoy playing. Whenever people say, whoa, nice shot, I always say I had a great teacher. Thank you, villages academy, you have a great instructor in Nicole.

Signed up for a one hour golf lesson at the Sarasota Practice Center, but they told me the wrong…read moretime and even wrote the time wrong down on the reminder card. I show up at the time I was told and show them my reminder card and of course nothing can be done about it. They apologized and told me I could come back in a few hours or rebook. The mistake was entirely their fault. Initially it took 20 minutes to book the lesson because they were using a new computer system that no one was good with, only for them to give me the wrong lesson time. Clearly they need to have a better tutorial on their computer system, as it was an overall huge waste of time. It's too bad. I had heard good things about The Villages and was looking forward to a golf lesson -- but it's expensive and they can't even work their own computer lesson booking system. Perhaps it was an honest mistake, but I was so turned off by the whole thing I didn't even bother rebooking.

I have wanted to take golf lessons for years and finally made it happen: I couldn't be happier to…read morehave started my golf journey with Andy! I had 4 hour-long lessons at a great price. Andy's passion for golf is evident as he doesn't pay attention to the clock, only to the student's needs and endurance. He obviously studies and studies to hone his craft and contribute to his teaching. It was clear to me that getting the fundamentals was paramount to my long-term success and Andy helped me with every detail and let me practice the nuances again and again. He provided visual aids and even sent me videos after my lessons to reinforce what I'd learned. His ability to see minute body positions and movements indicated to me that he can improve any level of golfer or any specific concern. My understanding of and enthusiasm for golf have been greatly elevated and I believe I'm off to an excellent start! I highly recommend enlisting Andy to learn or improve your game!

So in one way, I might have been 'put off'; "don't they want to make a sale'... but on the other hand... and best... I felt 'no pressure'! Finally, after I had made my selection [I guess I 'knew' what I was looking for'] I hailed a salesman and asked 'what he could do for me'. I found a used set of irons & I needed '1 1/2 inch extensions & new grips... he made it 'easy' to move forward with a very good deal!!!
