I have been taking lessons with Coach Kevin for a couple of years. As a scratch golfer, he has helped me to further improve on various aspects of my game. He has an incredible ability to assess swings of all levels and provides adjustments necessary to improve each individual's game. Coach Kevin's lessons are unique to each student, with straightforward and easy to understand instruction. He may not know this, but many in our golf circle refer to him as the 'Golf Whisperer'.

I’ve played golf for more than 40 years and it was never fun because I was so inconsistent at ball striking. I can’t believe how much Kevin has helped me break decades of bad habits. I wish I had found him sooner. I love golf now. He is the best. I could never thank him enough.

I have been working with Kevin on my golf game for 2 years now and he has brought me from a brand new beginner to a 24 handicap. He has taught me not only the mechanics of the various swings but the mental game as well. I highly recommend him if you are the type of person who likes to take a lesson and then are dedicated to developing the skill.

I (from my first lesson) knew that this a great coach when Kevin ask if I had any injuries that he should know about and that he could work around them. I am 58 years old and thankfully don’t have any! He has helped my so much from stretches to pre-round warmups!!

My experience with Kevin was extremely helpful. My fundamentals improved dramatically and provided me with a solid foundation. I learned how to practice with purpose and the results are showing on the score card.
