  • Drew has been an amazing golf pro for my 10-year-old son. His patience and expertise shine through in every lesson. Drew creates a fun, engaging environment that keeps my son excited about learning the game. I’ve already noticed a significant improvement in his skills and confidence. I highly recommend Drew for any young golfer looking to enhance their abilities.

    Brice L.

  • “As a casual golfer for many years, I was ready to improve my game and take it to the next level. Having Drew as my coach enabled me to do just that. Drew's intuitive, friendly, and relatable approach to teaching resulted in lower scores and increased enjoyment of the game. His extensive knowledge of the sport allows him to offer coaching and drills that are easy to digest for players of all skill levels. Drew goes above and beyond and truly cares about the success of his clients. For example, to maximize the value of one of my sessions, Drew took time out of his week to study film of my swing and came prepared with specific drills and advice, allowing us to get straight to work. I highly recommend Drew as a coach!”

  • Working with Drew has completely transformed my approach to the game. He strikes the perfect balance between technical, data-driven instruction and helping me understand the intuitive feeling of my swing. Drew doesn’t just apply a one-size-fits-all method—he works closely with each individual to discover what swing works best for their body, making the lessons personal and impactful. His ability to blend data analysis with an understanding of the natural flow of the swing has helped me improve my game in ways I didn’t think possible. Because of Drew I was able to hit my goal this year of breaking 80!

  • “I started golf about two years ago and was so lucky to find Drew! Drew has a really great way of explaining different technics and breaking things down to make sense. He is constantly coming up with new drills to improve my swing and has significantly improved my golf game!”

    Caitlin B.

  • “I’ve been taking lessons with Drew on and off for the past 2 years and he’s completely changed my golf game! Prior to working with Drew, I had never taken golf lessons before so my swing was all over the place. Instead of starting from scratch, Drew does an incredible job of taking the current swing that you have and slowly tailors it through many different practice drills/tips and tricks to get you to where you need to be. If given the choice, I would definitely recommend the 5 lesson package deal that he does. For me, this was the perfect amount of lessons to really make a difference and it was a great deal too. Alongside this, Drew has a flexible schedule and made it very easy for me to schedule lessons with him whenever I felt like I needed them. 10/10 would recommend!”
