“I had a lesson with Quinn and, well, he’s definitely good at giving feedback but didn’t quite match my needs since he primarily works with beginners. Still, I appreciated the precise insights he offered on technique, though I feel I’d benefit from someone whose approach aligns more with my level and goals. Definitely worth a try if you're starting out or need straightforward guidance.”Justin K., student
About QuinnWith over 25 years of dedicated golfing experience, I've developed a profound passion for the sport. I relish the challenges that golf presents and am particularly fond of utilizing indoor simulators in urban settings. Most importantly, I derive immense joy from imparting my knowledge and love for the game to others.Go to profile97OutstandingTop rated
