It was my first lesson ever and I think I lucked out. I'm sure he goes through the same shit with a zillion different people, but he kept the enthusiasm level high and gave me some good tips on fundamentals that will hopefully help me immediately level up. A few things, he's a little on the crass side, teasing me about my shitty clubs (haha they ARE pretty shitty), and he'll hustle you for followup lessons. But who can blame him, I gotta take some sales notes :-P. He taught a 91 year old guy after me and he cut the guy a break on the price which I thought was a nice thing to do. Will update in a few weeks when I start outdriving Bryson DeChambeau.

I started taking lessons with Finigan as a complete beginner, and after just 5 classes I'm honestly…read moreamazed at how much progress I've made. I went from having zero experience to actually enjoying being on the course and feeling confident in my game. Finigan is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He explains things in a way that just clicks, and he really takes the time to adapt to your level. He's also always on time and very easy to communicate with, which makes the whole experience smooth and stress-free. If you're new to golf (or even looking to improve), I can't recommend him enough. Amazing coach.

I have been playing golf for close to 40 years. For the last 5-10 years my playing was very…read moresporadic (think 3 times a year) so I lost any sort of comfortability with my swing. I could still putt and chip well, but felt like my swing was out of whack and golf was no longer fun. So, I decided to take a lesson from Dan. I asked a number of people I knew from the Baylands Golf Links (where Dan teaches!) and they all said that Dan was the instructor they had selected. That was good enough for me. i have only had one lesson with Dan, and I already have my love for the game back! What I appreciate about Dan is that he likes to keep it simple and help you focus on one thing. That allowed me to get out of my head and focus on my set-up and swing. There will be more to learn, and I plan to take more lessons, but for now I am working on practicing the swing he set me up to have. With Dan you will not get a ton of input on mechanics. He is looking at you and your swing, then helping that swing to improve. His philosophy of everyone having their own swing and learning to embrace that swing within their own body makes a ton of sense to me and is far more motivating and enjoyable when I practice. I cannot recommend Dan more highly.

I made a scheduling mistake for a golf swing assessment that was a meaningful gift from my father…read more I wrote the wrong date in my calendar -- a simple, human error. I thought I had double checked, but with some help from dyslexia, I misread the dates. I reached out, took responsibility, and asked if there was any possibility of flexibility, fully understanding that the policy might not allow it. The response I received from Kelly, Lisa's assistant (writing from Lisa's account) included: "I'm not sure why you felt the need to reach out a second time... I will not be communicating further regarding this matter." I respect policies. And my second email was, indeed Me requesting an honest exception to the policy. It was denied. That didn't surprise me. What surprised me was the tone, which felt unnecessarily dismissive for a first-time client sincerely trying to correct a mistake and build a long-term coaching relationship. A $295 loss for a simple scheduling error is significant, and I was hoping for a more understanding and human exchange. Others may have a different experience, and Lisa may be a strong instructor, but those who value supportive and empathetic communication may want to be aware of how scheduling matters are handled here.

I started lessons with Lisa as a total beginner -- I had literally never swung a golf club before…read more Golf isn't something that comes intuitively to me, but Lisa has been incredibly patient and structured in how she teaches. Every session builds logically on the last, and she's great at breaking things down in a way that makes sense and sticks. Her assistant Kelly has also been wonderful -- super responsive and helpful. I accidentally broke one of my irons (which Kelly had helped me purchase), and she went above and beyond to get it replaced by Srixon for free -- even though I had already thrown the broken club away! If you're new to golf or just want an instructor who's patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about your progress, I highly recommend working with Lisa and her team.

(Too bad there aren't more reviews of golf pros on here!)…read more I'm a 18 handicapper struggling to find consistency in my game - I wanted to meet with Dan to get a swing check up. Dan's a super nice guy, he had nothing but nice things to say and is a really positive teacher - I think this is key especially for beginners. Technically I think Dan did a good job focusing on the part of my swing that was broken and not focusing on the parts of my swing that are just different (e.g. my grip etc.). It definitely wasn't not a cookie cutter "lets work on your grip, then your takeaway, etc." approach. Dan gave me 2-3 very tangible tips that I think will eventually save me 1-3 strokes and I would definitely come back to him (and recommend him) if I come back for a lesson again. He even gave me range balls after the lesson. Only negative would be that 30 minutes ($80) is too short, and $150 for an hour is out of my price range. If I could I'd get together a group of 3-4 14-24 handicappers and do a 90 minute group lesson for (presumably) the same rate. So in summary - great guy, very enjoyable/helpful lesson and I think could be a good coach for a wide range of players. How I found Dan: New to SF and not lucky enough to be part of a club so I went to my nearest course and pick Dan based on a couple decent online references.

I'd give Dan 5 stars but for the $90 per 30 min lesson.... then again, I feel like I got my money's…read moreworth. In one lesson he fixed my irons, in the next he fixed my driver. Now don't get me wrong, I went to the range several times after each lesson and was good at first, then terrible as I either over corrected or went back to my old habits, but then it just clicked. This morning i was hitting 220 to 250 yard drives into the wind when 200 has always my best. I'm booked for a 3rd lesson because I was screwing up my driver so badly yesterday on the range, that I was sure I'd never fix it on my own, but then I remembered Dan's insistance on swing plane, and I tried what felt like a crazy low and wide sweeping back and thru swing - and BAM I hit a monster drive perfectly straight. A little tinkering and I hit something like 20 in a row that would count as my best drives ever if I were on a golf course. What i liked about Dan is that I told him I'm more or less a once per year golfer which happens during an annual vacation when I'll get in 4 or 5 rounds, and my trip was coming up and I just wanted some basic help. So he gave me some really basic and easy to emulate tips. It is more or less completely different than my previous swing, but really, really simple too. After this morning I don't feel like I "need" a 3rd lesson.... but then again I am having trouble switching btwn my irons and the driver - they are pretty different swings. So if another $90 has me doing that - man will I be excited to see how that translates on the golf course. I'm not a beginner - I've taken lessons in the past - the last time 10 years or so ago, so I'm not sure that a beginner would have instant success. Then again, I had really bad and ingrained wrist and swing plane issues - so who knows. But for me - 3 lessons and 6 or 7 buckets of balls to hit the ball the way I did this morning.... amazing. As someone else said - skip the new driver and go with the lessons.
