Lessons from James Leitz/Brian Manzella/Rob Noel

I didn’t care for him personally. Little arrogant. Let’s you know his facility is the best in the country and yet I left feeling worse about my swing than I went in. I went in with a specific lesson planned with him, but when I got there, he just had me hit a bunch of 7 irons for the majority of the time and then in the last ten rushed minutes he got to what I came in for and it only made things worse since we didn’t have time to process and practice his suggested change. But hey, maybe you will have a better experience. I have had many good experiences with Rob Noel.

The most important thing about selecting a golf coach is finding one that can communicate to you about your swing in a way you can comprehend it and make the necessary corrections.

Tech is good, but some of these guys lean too much on dazzling students with tech.

I have been to Jim and Rob.....but in the only person who could fix my game and help rebuild my swing is Chris Burkhalter at the Island. Every problem I take to him he gets fixed. By example, in our most recent couple lessons I was frustrated because I was hitting a straight ball off the tee, but only averaged 220. Maybe a good drive would be 230-240. After two lessons and then practicing what he taught me I averaging about 245 off the tee with my "A" ball reaching 265.

He teaches in a way that I was able to finally wrap my mind around. I suggest you give Burky a shot.

if I had a a $200 GC to see Leitz I would give it way as a dirty santa christmas present
