[box type=”shadow”]I absolutely loved the event.  Thanks so much for your efforts in organizing this.

If you have this event again in the future, I will strongly recommend that the other high handicappers in my golf club consider participating.  This was DEFINITELY worthwhile.

Thanks,

[box type=”shadow”]I had a great time with my player Tony..  I think an event like this forces one to be extremely creative and flexible with the style and how you adapt to the player..  I will forward my player’s email as he was extremely pleased with his experience and how well the event was run…

Hats off to you and your family for putting everything together!!

Let me know whenever you need support again!

All the best,

[box type=”shadow”]I’ve been meaning to send you an e-mail and having seen this results email has presented a chance to reply.

I really want to thank you for putting together a great event. The idea behind this type of event is fantastic. My student did not perform well on the course, but I want to let you know that his poor play did not take away from the overall experience. I believe, as an instructor or golf coach, anytime we have an opportunity to spend a day with someone and make positive influence on their game, success may be claimed.

I want to let you know that the idea is fantastic, the day was great for myself and my student, and as for whenever the next event is ready to go. SIGN ME UP!!!

Thanks a million for everything. I think you’ve created a great new way to reveal undiscovered paths for the future of player development.

I’m not just saying that because I won money.  I truly signed up for the event truly because of my love for teaching the game.  Your idea for this event was brilliant!!  Thank you to you, your wife and your Mom.

[box type=”shadow”]Thanks so much for putting it together.  Without your hard work it would of never happened.

My only suggestion is sometime in the future it includes military only or wounded military.  I would love to give back to them for all they do.

Best,

[box type=”shadow”]Thanks for heading this up, I think the idea is good. Is there a list of the amateurs who won as well? Thanks and see you next time.

[box type=”shadow”]I wanted to express my gratitude for the work you did yesterday and everything leading up to yesterday’s golf tournament.  This is by far one of the best teaching platforms I have seen when it comes to golf instruction.  The participation of the many talented coaches was nothing less than miraculous.  Where else does one get to see that collection of talent assembled at one event other than on the PGA tours.

My only personal regret is that my score did not reflect the great instruction that I received from Shawn Cox.  I don’t think for one second it was any short comings on his part.  His simple explanations and patience with my many less than stellar shots was always an encouragement to do better on the next hole.

I think you have discovered a great teaching vehicle for this sport and wish you much success in the future.

[box type=”shadow”]Thank you for a Great weekend that I feel will make a difference in my game.  You did a great job putting this event together and your support staff really stepped up, (performance at least  -20 under par).  I look forward to next year and showing a stronger performance.  All the Pro’s where great, very personal and helpful.  Have a good day and “thank you again”.

Thank you again for a great event.  Count me in for the reunion, “I’ll write the check now”.

[box type=”shadow”]Thank you Tim for all of the work you put into organizing the competition and keeping us informed about what was to take place.  I learned a lot from my PGA instructor, Jack Gibson, and I will be taking additional instruction from him in the future.  My goal is to lower my handicap by 10 strokes by this time next year, and I am confident that the things I’ve learned from Jack will help me achieve my goal.[/box]

 

[box type=”shadow”]I was very pleased that Jack was able to add some things to my swing, grip and stance without making me learn everything all over again.  I managed to shoot a couple of strokes below my handicap during the nine hole playoff, and I’m sure that I will continue to improve by applying the things that Jack taught me.

 

Once again, thank you,

[box type=”shadow”]My wife and I stayed a few days in Palm Desert and just got home.  It was lots of fun to see the emails from the other students and I agree with all the praises.  The event was great and I am looking forward to any events I may join.  Again Thanks for your kindness and leadership.

[box type=”shadow”]I shot 92 today at PGA West Norman. That is 6 under my handicap!

My short game was much better. I remembered to uncoil from the ground up.  I hit some great shots today. I’ve never been so excited about playing golf.  Thanks for a great learning experience! Looking forward to the next event.

 

Cheers

[box type=”shadow”]I just wanted to thank you for inviting me to play in the Teaching Competition.  I had a blast.  It was very inspiring to get to play with a pro and get his input on shots, club selection, etc.

 

It was a great event and I hope you are able to run it again in the future.[/box]

 

[box type=”shadow”]OK. Here is one more big fan thanking you for a fantastic day on Sunday. I really learned a lot from my professional David Stephens. You even pulled off great weather for us.  I believe it has been said, the only improvement would be to assign coaches from the same town before we get there and let us just look on a board to find them vs. the time consuming “drawing”. Otherwise it was fantastic. Tim you did a great job keeping us updated with emails and several phone calls that I especially enjoyed. Thank you. Please thank your mom and wife as well. Please include me if you do it again! Mitch

[box type=”shadow”]Please maintain the focus of future events like this on the teaching professional.  I say this because the email I’ve been reading indicates to me that the focus should shift to the student.  I was primarily attracted to your event, because of the feature of instructors competing against fellow instructors to see who could show the most improvement in their student in a short period of time.  There is then a competitive incentive for the very good instructors to pull out all their tricks and techniques and apply them to the student’s current golf skills.  A full make-over would be foolish and impossible.

 

sincerely,
