"Had a great first lesson with Jomel. I came in wanting to focus specifically on my putting, and he immediately tailored the session around that. He broke things down in a really clear, simple way and gave me practical adjustments that made an instant difference. The drills were purposeful and directly tied to improving consistency and confidence on the green. Super productive session - excited to keep working with him.

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. Over the years I have dedicated tens of thousands of hours to the practice and implementation of the mechanics in the golf swing. 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.

"Coach Eddie helped me get back to where I was. I took a break and he helped me not be rusty. He also taught me new tricks on how to hit a ball and the level of mind I need to have. He helped me see things differently and slow the game down so I don’t get anxious. Great coach thanks Eddie
