Testimonials

As a beginning golfer, Mark worked with me on every part of the game and brought me from a 30+ handicap down to a 12 over two years. He is skilled in listening and worked with me to improve my alignment for a more accurate swing and the results were better than I expected. I have recommended Mark's instruction to friends and they have all been pleased.

Mark is a Professional in every aspect of the word. His knowledge of the golf swing and his ability to teach can help any golfer - the high handicapper, the scratch golfer and the professional. For the first half of 2006, I was struggling, shooting rounds between 86 to 92 at my home course of Irem Temple CC in Dallas, PA. I had no idea where I was hitting the ball and my confidence was at an all-time low. I had one playing lesson with Mark and he gave me two things to work on with my golf swing. By the end of the round I was hitting more consistent and solid shots. The very next day I shot 78, my best score by far for the year. Since then, I have broken 80 several times. I even shot a 1-under 35 on the front 9 at Irem Temple. Mark, thanks for restoring my confidence and making the game more enjoyable for me.

No two people swing the club the same way. Mark has helped me improve my game by identifying things that work for me to improve my game and making it more consistent. When swing problems arise, as they always do for amateurs, he can quickly spot the problem and rectify it, usually within one lesson. He has helped me with the mental game as well. He never lets you get down on yourself - always finding something positive to build on. (PS-my handicap has dropped by 25% after working with Mark).
Jon Davis, Naples Grande Member
My son uses Mark when we vacation in Naples. He is a great teacher for a teenager, as his communication skills are strong for that age group. But Mark's effectiveness does not stop there. In 3 lessons he dramatically improved my golf swing with one simple change, plus gave me check points to keep it in tact while not in Naples. Mark has the personality, along with the golf skills, to allow someone like myself to enjoy lessons.
