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!!

I really encourage my golfing buddies to talk with Chris to better understand swing dynamics and improve their golfing experience.

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.

Most golf instructors offer simple fixes (band-aids) which never correct the root problem. And how frustrating is it to spend money on lessons, and still look like a hack? :) Well that all changed after I met Kevin and started getting REAL golf instruction. Being a newbie, I was skeptical but the results speak for themselves. In the last 6 months, I went from complete beginner to shooting in the 90's. Don't get me wrong you still need to put in the work, but he provides the guidance you need to get you on track and improve. Kevin's a great guy and easy to work with. He's knowledgeable in all aspects of the game and also an influencer to golf brands on Instagram. Highly recommend seeing him if you're serious about improving your game.

Justin is an exceptional golf coach that has lots of knowledge of the game, patience with students,…read moreand a laser focus on helping his students achieve their personal goals. I approached Justin for golf lessons with zero experience and knowledge in golf so I was a bit intimidated by the range. To get an understanding of my level, Justin observed my swing giving me feedback and using easy to understand analogies. This made the learning process very simple and easy to apply. Justin also showed me a video of my alignment and provided adjustments that I needed to make. Throughout the lesson Justin was positive, kind, and supportive in helping me get a good foundation for golf. If you are new to the game of golf and want someone who can break the game down to its core, Justin is the guy to go see. He will have you hitting the ball and playing the game the right way in no time.

(I think he thinks that I might cramp in on his guy time). I've been to the range a few times, but I couldn't seem to get the ball past the 50 yd flag. (That, and there have been a few times where the ball will catapult into the little walls that are around the mats...I've had to yell "duck" a few times)...But I digress. Byron has taught me how to actually hit the ball forward. I am now lobbing it clearly over 100 yards, and my grip on my clubs isn't white-knuckle tight. Yes, I know that it's not much, but again, I am a clear cut beginner, and Byron has me wanting to continue to play. 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.

I did a ton of research on instructors and one person kept coming up with nothing but positive reviews, Byron Schlagenhauf. I decided to give him a shot and scheduled lessons for my son. Byron has a great personality and teaching style which my son clicked with immediately. Byron shows my son how to do something, why he needs to do it, practices until he gets it right several times and then reviews what they did. After 5 lessons my son is now hitting the ball straighter, longer and more accurate than I could ever imagine. I would recommend abyronbto anyone at any level and I've decided to schedule lessons for myself.

Our draw was cancelled late so we were then unable to signup for singles as well, and since it's 2 days before the weekend, we were unable to signup for any other tournaments! Completely ruined our plan for this weekend and we'd been looking forward to playing in a competitive match, but it was not to be. There was no conversation prior to the cancellation, and no suggestion to allow us to register for singles, but just straight up woke up to not being in the draw and then the director Calvin saying there's nothing he could do! Well why didn't he let us know BEFORE so that we could register for singles or register for another tournament? Completely unprofessional.

He also has lots of props for students to practice, such as a piece of flat metal material for me to practice hitting the mark before I hit the ball.
