Although Russell has the…read moretechnical knowledge to break down your golf swing from start to finish, he specializes in explaining the golf swing in the easiest way possible. Russell has the ability to teach using ideas rather than terms, thus eliminately multiple swing thoughts at the moment of impact. Russell emphasizes swing thoughts, as "the driver head must beat the hands at the finish line" and "once your thumbs are up, start the downswing." Russell's words of wisdom have helped lower my scores but more importantly, made golf more enjoyable, as I have to think much less lol. Aside from his golf knowledge, Russell has always been professional, well dressed (G/Fore), prompt, and always knows how to make people laugh when needed. Best of all is his pup, Crisco!

I waited to write this review until I finish my lessons with Russell A.K.A Master Shifu (inside…read morejoke). Definitely won't be the last for sure. I had ZERO experience in golf. But I'm very grateful that I met Russell as my instructor. He made my experience so much enjoyable. Now that I'm getting into golfing and learning it. It's so fun! The outcome is always different every single swing, the movement. Literally everything. I looked forward to coming and learning more for my best potential. Russell always brings out the best during my lesson. *Always remember, PGA! (POSTURE, GRIP, ALIGNMENT)*. Every sports have its own fundamental skills and without knowing the basics, it's impossible to learn a new sports. He's definitely aware of this so he won't BS nothing! He starts off teaching the fundamental skills of golf, moves onto the next and so on and on. He has a book by John Jacob and he showed me how things are supposed to look like and that helped a lot for someone like me who's a tactile-visual learner. By the second lesson, I started to see the difference of my posture/swings right away. I never expected to learn this fast. He's super interactive and will point out the "mistakes" that I'm doing right away. My weakness was not be able to have my club DOWN or it was late. I GOTTA GO DOWN!! (you'll understand this once you start learning from him). I always have that in back of my mind to keep it down. I stopped thinking or focusing too much on the wrist, head, feet, backswings, things surrounding you because it makes it really difficult to have your own swing so now I just focus my eyes on the ball and do what he told me to do! Very happy with the results and where I'm at now. I'll definitely get more lessons from master shifu in his dojo! Thank you for making it so fun!!

Kevin is a great instructor. He helped me improve immediately. I am very new to golf, and was…read moreswinging on top of the ball quite a bit. I was frustrated with hitting little dribbler shots. I don't seem to have that problem too much since training with Kevin. He helped me pick out new irons, my old set I bought off Craigslist and was missing clubs.

I visited to get my distances dialed in, and got assistance after with an email of the report. Turns out it was a single video of someone else. After several days of waiting, I finally got a report with some data. But Carry and Total Distance were not available - whether via browser or the Trackman app. Then I was told I had to have signed into the their bay when I was onsite. But when I arrived onsite with a buddy, we both said we need help getting set up and thus we thought we were - turns out that wasn't the case. Seems to me that if you know Trackman this place may be worth a try. If you don't, you should learn before you go or risk the chance of not having key data available after the session. Unfortunately, with all the back and forth and the fact I never got the 2 most important data points I wanted (the reason I signed up was to dial in iron and wedge distances) I would reconsider going here. When I suggested that all employees become proficient in Trackman and asked what they thought I heard nothing back. Probably worth a try, but, buyer beware. If I were the shop owner, I would have offered a return session on the house. This never crossed their minds. Too bad.

She rebuilt my swing from the ground up, and even with my busy schedule (and not nearly enough practice!) my swing keeps improving because she's helped me understand it on a truly foundational level. Jenny is not only incredibly knowledgeable and experienced; she's just a wonderful human being and such a joy to be around. Five stars, without hesitation.

After the first lesson I was already feeling more confident in my swing. He's patient and easy going. He makes lessons fun, enjoys seeing you improve. He keeps notes and sends them to you as well as follows up at the next lesson. Since taking lessons with Nate I've improved my swing consistency and understand what the crucial elements are for success. Not to mention I'm hitting the ball longer (20-30 yards per club) as well as straighter. Having the trackman as the simulator for lessons helps break down swing problems quickly. So, if you're looking to improve your golf game, don't hesitate to call Nate.

I've shot three 70's. I've shot a 79, 77, and my personal best about a month ago. A 75!!! Before Chris I went to two other local instructors with no success. Chris has a way of explaining things in terms the average golfer can understand and put into practice. For me to go from shooting 100's to 80's in only eight months is a testament to how good of an instructor he really is. If you are serious about becoming better at golf and willing to put in the time and work, Chris will get you where you want to be. It feels so good to go out with the buddies and know you're most likely going to beat them! I often seen him at the course working with young kids also.

He works in a great facility in Martinez called Power Endurance, and his set up is state of the art. I've seen a few of the other people he's been teaching, and they look like they're learning a lot. Looking at his little snippet on their website (trainpe.com), he has quite the pedigree in golf: Former NCAA All-American UCLA Golf Team Captain UCLA Golf Team MVP Teaching lessons over 25 years But what I like about him is he makes me feel comfortable with my game, and his suggestions on how to improve it have really helped.
