Two examples of what can happen:

Worst golfer I ever taught, A.D.

He could not have possibly broke 113 on a 113 slope course (national mean).

He took 47 lessons from October 1990 to April 1991.

On a par 70 course, he shot 89, putting poorly.


A tennis pro came to me. Brian can you get me to break 80 in 4 months. His lowest score in only about 10 total rounds ever was 98.

He took 4 lessons a wek for 4 months and practiced a LOT.

He had 5 tries to break 80 to win his bet with a pal.

On a tough par-72, 7000 yds., he shot 76 in the third round.


It CAN be done.

Brian's right, it can be done. I love to get new students with small goals. Because of previous experience with instruction, they ask, "do you think I could get a little better? I shoot in the low 100's and I'd like to break 100. Do you think we can do that?" ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!?! Lets shoot for the 70's!
Any instructor can help to shave a few strokes. I've witnessed things that I never believed possible in TGM instructors. I've been around some of the greatest teachers in the business as a student and as an observer, and unfortunately to most I'd never return. It's a shame that some don't even understand simple geometry. If you’re willing to learn, you must be willing to accept new ideas. Those ideas have to measured against your present belief systems. As new ideas abound, TGM continues to gain the strongest hold in my beliefs. The information is irrefutable.
I've told many of you about one of my greatest juniors. If you hit a drive and you see the whites of Yoda's eyes, you know you've busted it. This junior is 15 now, but started with me at 14. He is a great athlete, and played everything but golf. I gave him his first lesson, and in 8 months he shot 33 for 9 holes. After 14 months, he shot 67 for 18 holes. He'll be playing #1 on his high school team as a sophomore. He's so young in golf, I can't wait to see the things he'll be able to accomplish. When he wins a Tour event, I hope he'll give a shout out to Homer.
