As someone with a busy schedule and many bad habits from a year of casual play, working with Sean has been a game changer. The fact that he was able to come to my house for lessons was really convenient-it made golf lessons fit into my life...which is a big deal. He found some swing patterns that were holding me back and gave me some tweaks that helped immediately. Sean focuses on key improvements that build on each other over every lesson, and his knowledge about the mental game is unreal. Don't hesitate, you won't regret it.

Sean is fantastic with our son, who just started to show interest in golf this year. In just the first few lessons, we have seen real progress-not just in his swing and confidence, but in understanding the game itself. Sean has raised 3 kids and understands that staying patient, upbeat, and fun is important! He makes sure our son learns proper safety, etiquette, and how to respect the course. If you're looking for someone who makes golf approachable for young players...he is the real deal.
