Kristofer Godlewski

I’ve been taking lessons with Kristopher for a couple of months now and have seen great progress in my golf game as a result! Kris is very knowledgeable about the sport and has a great personality; something I’ve found to be very rare with other coaches. I am someone who loves to weight train 5-6x a week, so naturally, I always dreamed of hitting long drives with my driver. Kris taught me how to properly hit my driver. Before, all I knew how to do was slice it, or when I made decent contact, I would hit around 250 yards. As a result of his teaching, I am now able to hit 300+ yard fades with the club. Along with my driver, Kris also helped improve my short game around the green so I’m no longer 2, or sometimes, even 3 chipping to get onto the putting green. I also found Kris to be very flexible when it comes to scheduling lessons. You can take them at a driving range, the chipping/putting greens at Hollenback, or he will travel to Sand Springs, Blue Ridge Trail, Four Seasons, and Wilkes-Barre Golf Club for a playing lesson. It doesn’t matter where the course is. Overall, Kris does a fantastic job describing how golf works in terms that even a novice can understand. I credit him for the vast improvement in my game on the course and for the knowledge I’ve been able to enjoyably learn. I cannot recommend Kris enough; he’s a great coach with the credentials, skills, and personality that let you enjoy and learn the game of golf at the same time!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I’ve been taking lessons for years. I’m talking 20-25 years and I have taken lessons in Los Angeles, Texas, Missouri, Pennsylvania you name it with some of the best guys. Now, I was still trying to consistently break 100, and as soon as I met Kris, we played last year he took my scores down from having no confidence, barely breaking 100, to breaking 100, then to breaking 85!! Now I go out to actually challenge myself because I had a chance to break 83 and I’m telling you, it was more of a confidence, it was the way he spoke, the way he talked to me, and the drills that he helped me with, it didn’t take long. It only took a couple of lessons and man my whole game changed! But there is probably no better instructor I have ever been with and I tell you, I won’t stop taking lessons from this guy! He encourages phone calls so I call him a lot and I pick his brain! We exchange books, everything!! There is just so much there you get with Kris and the environment he creates. But all I can tell you there’s no better instructor. I’m 62 and I can now hit my 4 iron over 200 yards! But when I met Kris I was only able to hit it 180!! I’m not going for distance, my goal is to try and just enjoy the game but that added distance definitely helps! That’s what I was going for but Kris delivered and then some! Man I tell you what there’s probably no better person out there and there is probably no better instructor out there, but thank you!! Thanks, Kris!!!

My son Nathan was a high level player on his high school golf team struggling for the number one spot on the roster. It would always fluctuate between him and 2 others. After working with Kris for one season he became the Number one player his senior year!! His ball flight became straighter and farther, his confidence as a young man ON an OFF the course skyrocketed, and you could see his personality developing with positive attributes from the work ethic Kris instills in his players. During Nathans’s senior year he took first place in districts and went on to compete in regionals!! Nathan now is the number 2 player at a Division II NCAA College with a golf scholarship!!! Thanks Coach Kris!!! He is such a kind, patient, and generous man!! Nathan once hit his head and needed to go to the ER for emergency surgery on Christmas Day!!! Kris dropped everything he was doing to come see him in the make sure he was taken care of had everything he needed. Kristofer truly cares for his students!!

I was at the range practicing one day and I began to notice the golfer next to me kept hitting one good shot after another. My curiosity got the best of me and I asked if he was a pro or something. He humbly smiled and said that he was in fact an instructor. I must have worked with Kris for only about 20 minutes and in that time he fixed my slice that I struggled with for years!! After showing me what I needed to add to my swing I was hitting my driver the farthest that I ever hit it in my life, even when I did hit a good shot!! He didn’t even want to accept any money when I tried to offer it to him because he said this was just “friendly advice” to the person next to him and not a lesson. I forced him to take it. I see him often at the range and gladly report back to him that my driver is still finding fairways since our lesson. One lesson is all it took!! You can tell he is genuinely good guy!!

As an aspiring counselor, I fancy myself as a good observer. From my first experience golfing with Kris, I quickly gathered he is a man on a mission. Like other military veterans he instills a sense of devotion to his comrades; for Kris favors to continue working until the lesson is fully absorbed. It is my inference that money is an object to him and golf clubs are mere tools in the hand. Kris sees something higher in the game of golf. Perhaps an artist at heart, he obsesses over the intricacies of golf and invites others to join in both the complexities and simple joys the game offers. No matter the outcome for the student he or she will have joyful inklings of having met a man of support of different stripes. I grade him at 4.5 stars although a 5 is warranted. It Is both a blessing and curse that Kris obsesses over the game like a Bobby Fischer chess genius.

I have had the professional opportunity to work with and observe Kris as a golf instructor, and he consistently demonstrates exceptional technical expertise and professionalism. His structured, analytical approach delivers clear, measurable results. By identifying approach play and putting as weaknesses in my game, Kris implemented focused training that, through extensive on-course practice, reduced my handicap from 15 to my current 8.6. I have also observed his instruction of other players firsthand, where his clear communication and individualized adjustments produced immediate improvement. As a current Cobra and Puma ambassador, I attribute a meaningful portion of my development and progression to Kris’ coaching. Kris’ commitment to results-driven player development is evident, and I would endorse him without hesitation as an outstanding golf instructor.
