Internet Lesson Testimonials

Initially I was a bit skeptical about golf lessons via the internet. I am not particularly tech savvy, and I was not sure if I could follow the procedures.  It was easy though.  I simply taped my swing according to the directions, and sent it via email. It was so simple!  The video was analyzed and I received very detailed instructions and continuing support.  Darren provided a written lesson that clearly outlined how to improve my swing. The help I received was far more than I expected.

Hello Lynn
 
Glad to hear things are better. Does Skler hope to become a professional golfer? Cheers Darren

Yes, he does.  He doesn't have a coach and has always done everything himself.  I have video of his swing and then will get a picture of him putting to send to you.  I would love to get your feedback.  Your videos are so good, simple and not technical.....perfect!!!!! Lynn

That's brilliant - Thanks Darren. Paul Brunner, regarding Internet lesson 1.

Many thanks for your insights and comments in the lesson 2 video. Really appreciate the thought you put into it.

Hi Darren, Thanks for the email. I've already looked at my video and it will help me to implement the things that you pointed out yesterday. I've not long returned from hitting a few practice balls and I certainly made good contact consistently. I'll review the video a few more times to really consolidate what you showed me. It is good to be able to review a lesson in that way as I have previously had the odd lesson and while the ideas can be retained for a while one tends to fall back into old habits as the memory fades. Your method will go a long way to preventing this.  Thanks so much, Paul Brown

By the way I had 40 points yesterday; 10 bogeys and 8 pars. I tried to focus on what you said and certainly struck the ball well.
Thanks again,

Hi Darren, thanks heaps for your time in putting the video together. Watching the side by side comparison I can see heaps of areas I can improve. I went to the Hunter Valley a couple of weeks ago and played at the Vintage, nice course..your lesson made a big difference..Thanks!  Thanks again, Vanessa

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! I fight the hook constantly. Some days are better than others but it is a major issue in my game. Love the loading on the left side and getting back in front of the line. For the upperbody finish, I have been trying to figure out the weird way that my upperbody finishes for a long time!! After seeing all of your very detailed analysis, I feel like I have had my eyes opened! I have taken numerous notes and can't wait to work on it. Loved all of the analysis and thought that it was dead on!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I also love being able to see your other lessons....another invaluable learning tool! I spend a lot of time trying to get better and learn the swing....this is like a treasure chest! What a value!! Thanks Darren!! I will be back....hopefully with improvements!! Jeff Camp

 2nd Lesson:

Your analysis on the video was outstanding and dead on and you pinpointed many things that I have been struggling with for years!  I shot 73 last Saturday (course rating of 73.5 and slope of 140). Best score in a long time! This was all trying to focus on your analysis and needed improvements. I got a buddy to take some video of me after my 83 today. I recognize after seeing that while I “feel” like I have totally changed, it looks about the same. Look forward to your comments and whether or not you see any progress! Thanks Darren

3rd Lesson:

Great…thanks for thinking of me Darren. Really like the clarification. I did play well after watching your lesson 3…thinking about the club/handle pointing toward the line was my primary swing thought for the round. Shot 74, second lowest round of the year! I definitely believe that keeping the club/handle pointed toward the line also helps me to get the club higher in the backswing and not get the hands so far behind me at the top of the backswing as you state. Thanks for the lesson and the comments. Lesson was dead on….keep hitting me over the head with the same comments over and over again….I am a slow learner….. Thanks again Darren. Be back to you shortly with hopefully better swing improvements.

Hi Darren,

Saw the lesson. I get the hip issue - rather than leaning all the way over with the whole body. It's about having a straight left side.

 Then on the left arm collapsing, I have begun practicing that. Very different from what I have been taught before - but again, very natural.

 The lesson locker is a great device - love it.  Rudi

Hi Darren   Thank you for sending this through.  Definitely interesting to see the swings online.   Could we book an initial lesson with you for this Sunday afternoon?  We'd like a 2 person 60 min lesson maybe around 2pm.   Thanks   Aoife
