" Ina was terrific for me. Before Ina my handicap was 30 plus or minus 5. After a couple of lessons, and a few weeks of playing and adhering to Ina’s easily applied weight distribution and maintaining spine position, I am happy to say golf is much more enjoyable. My handicap dropped to 20 plus or minus 5 now. I shot an 86 last week on a par 72 course which is my career best. Before Ina when topping or chunking shots I had no idea what I did wrong. Now when I occasionally chunk a shot I know why it occurred. It is easily corrected by reverting back to what Ina taught in those two lessons. Now my goal is to shoot for a 10-15 handicap. I can’t believe how much she has made this game so much more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong I still get frustrated at times - but I am much more consistent and playing better than ever before. Next up will be a couple of lessons on chipping where my game is the most inconsistent at present. No matter what your level is I strongly recommend Ina for anybody desiring improvement and finishing a round with much more satisfaction.

I have been playing golf all my life, beginning with the First Tee program, which taught me that golf is more than a sport—it's a way to carry yourself, conduct business, and much more. The program instilled values such as courtesy, respect, integrity, sportsmanship, honesty, and confidence, which I live by and which have helped me throughout my golfing journey. I have competed at many levels, including SCPGA, AJGA, mini tours like the Pepsi Tour, and college golf, experiencing the game in various settings.

"I’ve taken over 100 golf lessons with the same instructor, starting from the days I could barely make solid contact. Back then, my goal was simple—just keep the ball in play. Fast forward to today, and I’m shooting consistently in the mid-80s. That transformation didn’t happen by accident. My instructor is the kind of teacher you almost don’t want to tell the world about—because once people find out, his schedule will be impossible to get on. He has a rare gift for breaking down complex mechanics into simple, feel-based cues that actually stick. He doesn’t just teach the swing—he teaches you how to play the game, manage the course, and think like a better golfer. In my opinion, he’s a diamond in the rough, and absolutely deserves to be recognized among the elite instructors in the game today.
