"I LOVE those photos! I can’t believe how my form has improved (thanks to your instruction!!). I tell everyone I play with – give Lainey 30 minutes twice a week and you’ll knock 10 off your score in no time!! Pleased to report that my 5 hybrid is now being actively used! See you soon"
"I have played the game of golf for over half a century. During that time I have taken hundreds of lessons from too many teachers to count. The result, my handicap remained the same. Then I met Melainey. After six lessons my handicap is down five strokes. Melainey has a clear vision of the golf swing. She communicates it clearly and understandably. You would be well served to have her as your coach."
"Dear Melainey, I can't thank you enough for the meaningful session we had on Tuesday. You took me to a level I never thought I could achieve and I have been looking for, for many years."
"I am a brand new golfer and Melaney has helped me understand so much about the game. She is patient and can communicate what I need to do and to help build confidence! I highly recommend her!"
"Lainey is a superb golf teacher with a pleasant demeanor. She can break down your swing flaw(s) in an easy-to-understand way while demonstrating the correct move. The photos, annotated with constructive comments that she sends you after the lesson are a real bonus."
"She helped me improve my swing which resulted in more consistent contact with the ball and more confidence in my game - both were goals that I shared up front with her! The pictures I was sent after practice reiterating correct form were VERY helpful to reference out on the range."
