My lesson with Pancho really helped me get more consistent with my irons, especially since turning my front foot out now feels more natural. Though I still need to practice that motion so it becomes automatic, I’m optimistic about building muscle memory. It’s pretty helpful to be able to think about other swing aspects without losing form. If you're working on iron shots, Pancho’s steady approach could be just what you need to improve your game.

Poncho is very knowledgeable about golf fundamentals and has practical exercises to help improve your game. He’s patient and does a great job identifying areas of practice. He’s also super friendly so it made me feel comfortable very quickly!

Very patient and a clear passion for golf. First summer ever picking up a golf club and really helped establish fundamentals needed to build a proper swing

I'm pretty satisfied with how the lesson went, especially since Pancho emphasized continuing to practice ball striking and good finishes. I hope to get a tune-up on what we've already covered, just to keep things consistent. Still, I think my game can stay steady with a bit more focus on those areas. Nothing flashy, but a solid step forward. If you're looking to work on fundamentals like good finishes, Pancho's approach could be worth exploring.
