I want to start this review with a high-level background of my "golfing profile" to provide readers…read moreof this review with additional context related to my experience with / perspective of Jim Hartnett. I started playing golf when I was 10 years old (now 39yo), learning the game from 3-4 different teaching professionals from the age of 10 - 17. I played competitively via junior golf and high school golf with a low index of 4.2, and currently am a weekend hacker carrying a 6.1 index. After my high school golf "career", I swore off teaching professionals because I found that the lessons I received conflicted with the golf swing my mind and body were searching for. I was lucky enough to stumble upon Jim Hartnett when signing up for a gym membership at the same facility that Jim gives golf lessons at. Prior to meeting Jim in-person, I thoroughly researched him online, and stumbled upon what I believe to be one of the best & most insightful golf books I've ever read--"Golf for the other 80%: The answer to why you can't improve". After reading his book from cover to cover, I knew I needed to see the application of his golf swing theories first hand, and subsequently had a one hour golf lesson with Jim. Simply put, Jim is a true maverick in the golf instruction space. His approach to golf instruction is completely different from the numerous golf lessons I've had in the past. Jim is incredibly knowledgeable about the golf swing and its associated mechanics, applies the latest and greatest golf swing technology into his lessons, and approaches teaching in a much more practical application manner vs theoretical / didactic manner, which I very much appreciated. After my first one hour lesson with Jim, my understanding of the golf swing had taken a quantum leap forward, and many of the golf swing mysteries I had been trying to solve for years were finally put into focus. The following quote from Mickey Mantle ultimately sums up what my experience with Jim Hartnett resulted in for me: "It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life." Thanks Jim.

Had my swing evaluation and 30 min intro lesson with Logan yesterday. Overall, it was an incredible…read moreexperience! Logan knows his stuff and knows how to break the swing down. We looked at inconsistencies in my swing and attacked them piece by piece. It was incredibly helpful being able to see my swing frame by frame to highlight what was going wrong, and what was going right. Logan showed me some really great drills to practice on the range to help my ball compression. Also, really appreciate how there was no pushy sales tactics regarding booking another lesson. 100% will be booking another lesson. Took lessons from an older gentleman a few months ago who almost turned me off from seeking "professional" help; so glad I didn't. Thanks for the assistance Logan - look forward to working with you again soon!

I've been playing for over 25 years and have been self taught. I've been consistently in the 90's…read moreand would occasionally get into the high 80's. During a big golf trip two years ago, I developed a major shank in my irons and had lost all confidence in my game. I was back to three digit scores and would celebrate if I broke 100. I took a break and finally decided to seriously consider lessons. I found Laurent through TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) as he was one of the highest rated teachers in the area. I went in for an assessment and in that session alone he was able to address some things that had me go from shank to baby draws at the end. I signed up for a lesson package that consisted of 5x two hour lessons. In my first and only lesson, we focused on iron shots and permanently removing the shank. He tried many different approaches to get me to address my problem and we used the entire two hours to find the right fix. After the lesson, he texted me a practice plan with a breakdown of the drills I needed to do every day. His follow-up and willingness to put in the extra effort in communication outside of the lesson shows he cares and see this as a team effort. He holds you accountable for the effort and discipline needed to succeed. This is where the value of his coaching style stands out, you get way more than you pay for. Rather than go back in for a second lesson, I focused on the drills and implementing what we worked on in my game. I did this all summer on a regular basis. I'm now consistently shooting in the 80's and my playing buddies have noticed the difference. This with just one iron lesson. I'm now anxious to go back and work on some of my iron misses and start working on woods. On top of all the great coaching, he also shows a lot of interest in me personally and has helped me connect with other folks in his network. I feel fortunate to have found him and to be a part of Team Laurent!

Refused to give me his rates until I came in for an assessment. So I came in and he said he would…read moresend me a plan. I had assumed that would be a personalized plan on how we would improve my game. But it was just a list of his rates for different ranges of people. I'm sure the same thing he sends to everyone. If that was all he was going to send, why not just give me that info before the assessment? Also, I understand this is an assessment and not a lesson but I think the assessment is not only for him to assess me but for me to gauge how I like his teaching style. Alas, I didn't get any comment on my swing or what he would be trying to improve. So I asked him over text what his plan for me was but he ignored the question and just responded with something about not competing with youtube or range "pros". edit(Response to his comment): Nothing I said is incorrect. You are right you sent me your rates on Sept 24th 2022 at 12:54pm. That is AFTER the assessment @9am on the same day. I've attached our texts as proof. Perhaps instead of name calling, you could appreciate that my experience was not great and try to improve....

I decided to take a lesson with Roy, and since my name is also Roy I thought it might be a good omen. McQuiag had me hit a few balls and within five hits he saw a lot of fundamental problems with my grip ALONE. He explained how my grip was effecting my anatomy and thus swing. It was awkward at first but after some clean ones it started to fall into place. Roy's diagnosis was so good I was upset that I'd spent the previous year with instructors who just phoned it in. Roy has integrity and will help you understand what you need to work on that is specific to you. He cares about the people he comes into contact with and it shows. I've since made a commitment to Roy as my instructor moving forward. You should too.
