"I would recommend John 11/10 times. He did more than fix my swing, he taught me the game on a whole new level. I came to John with a decent amount of experience and ability to hit the ball straight but inconsistently. John changed that inconsistency with very few of my shots being “bad” shots now. When I say John is a wonderful, interactive and talented coach I mean it. He made the game fun again for me instead of frustrating. I recommend him fully!

Still, I appreciate the straightforward coaching style and look forward to continuing with him.
