"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.
