"I've only had two lessons with Jomel so far, and I've already made so much progress. As a complete beginner, I was a little intimidated getting started, but Jomel has made the learning process enjoyable and easy to follow. One thing that stands out is how clear and understandable his instructions are. He breaks everything down in a way that makes sense and gives simple adjustments that are easy to apply right away. He's also incredibly patient and never makes you feel rushed, no matter how many questions you have or how many times you need to try something. My first lesson focused on putting and my second lesson was on chipping, and I was surprised by how much improvement I saw in such a short amount of time. Every lesson feels structured and productive, and I always leave knowing exactly what I need to work on. I highly recommend Jomel to anyone, especially beginners who want an instructor who is knowledgeable, patient, and great at explaining the game.

In keeping with the philosophy of Bobby Jones, the first person to capture all of golf’s major championships as an amateur, I believe that dedication and proper technique are essential for success in any endeavor. When you start playing competitivley you find that simply participating is not enough; one must strive to master the fundamentals and execute them correctly to fully appreciate and excel at the game of golf & life.

This has granted me unique insights into the mental and technical aspects of playing well. I encourage a mindset of commitment and continuous improvement for myself and my students alike, regardless of one’s skill level.
