"Craig is friendly and a great communicator. Things that I've been told before that never made sense immediately clicked when Craig explained the what and the why. Shortly into the lesson, he tweaked some of my mechanics and had me hitting some really good iron shots. Ball flight was straighter and further than they've ever been.
