Testimonial:

Matthew rapidly changed my game. His cadence of communication is easy and seamless. His advice directly correlates to an increased performance on the course and dropped my handicap from a 21 to an 8 in a span of six weeks.

Matthew helped me gain a deeper understanding of my golf swing. His explanations are clear and his instruction is on point. Thanks to Matthew, I’m playing the best and most consistent golf of my life!

Mickey Brick

Testimonial:

Matthew worked with me for the first time and taught me more about my swing in 30 minutes than I had learned in my first 2 years of playing. His shared knowledge will allow me to enjoy my rounds even more!

Erik White

Our two grandsons both received excellent beginner lessons from Matthew. We were so impressed with how he customized each lesson to their different ages. He’s an outstanding instructor and whom we highly recommend.
