Testimonial:

I learned how to truly play golf and hit consistent shots.Thomas is such an amazing golf coach, but better than that he is an amazing person and mentor.

Turner Chiles

Testimonial:

Thomas, not only cares about what it takes to make you successful golfer, but he also wants you to enjoy the game and the process of improving your game. I not only improved my golf swing but also more importantly, golf course management.

Robert Leisten

Testimonial:

Thomas was always very patient with me as my golf coach while I managed to reduce my handicap from 30 to a 13. I highly recommend Thomas as a coach at all levels to both men and/or ladies.
