Mike,

I finally reached a the goal I had set for myself this year which was to shoot in the 70's. Tuesday I shot a 79 for the first time.

I have been shooting in the 90's consistently for as long as I have been playing, happy with any round in the 80's. This past March I started taking lessons with Mike (I am fortunate enough to literally live right next door to Mike's course). Started with five 30 min lessons and found out from Mike that I had alot of work to do. Bad pivot, no spine bend etc. Hit the range and worked hard on what Mike had taught me. Leveled off with scores in the 80's and took a flightscope lesson with Mike and found that for one thing the shafts in my irons needed to be changed to stiff flex. Have done that and what a difference in consistency and ball flight.

To summarize Mike knows what he's talking about has helped me with my game greatly. If your in the area come and see for yourself, if not make the trip it will be worth it!

Thanks again Mike for helping reach one of my goals.
Kevin

My goal, every year, is to have a round in the 70's. I haven't done it in over 10 years. Congrats, that's a great round and huge improvement in that stretch of time. Mike has helped my game immensely, I just have trouble getting out from CT to see him. Your post and his latest vids have me motivated to find some time.

Kevin,

GREAT NEWS!!!! Congratulations, proper instruction coupled with hard work and dedication is the recipe to success. Kevin was committed, after his first lesson he said he was "all in" when it came to following my guidance. He never strayed off the course that was laid out for him and he never second guessed the road he was put on. Great job and keep us posted on future successes. I am glad to hear that you made the iron shaft change that the Flightscope Speed and Acceleration Profile suggested and results immediately followed!
