“You know, Matthew's instruction genuinely stands out. His detailed breakdown makes it easy to grasp what needs adjusting, though I think a bit more focus on swing mechanics could be helpful. Still, his methodical approach helps clarify the fundamentals, and I’m hopeful about applying what I learned. Maybe next time, a little more attention to the swing itself. But overall, worth trying if you want clear, structured guidance.”

That lesson with Matthew was quite helpful, honestly. He shared some valuable pointers and things to work on, so I feel like I’m on a good path. Still, I’d like to continue working on swing mechanics to really refine my game. If you’re after practical advice from someone who knows the nuances of golf, giving Matthew a try might be worthwhile.

I am a former baseball player trying to pick up golf. Matthew helped me a ton in our first lesson. We worked on the basics, including the importance of slowing down my swing and letting the club do the work. He gave me several drills to work on moving forward. Masters here I come!

Matt is a high energy, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate golf coach. In just a handful of lessons he was able to transform my game, both mentally and technically. I would recommend Matt to anyone looking for a friendly expert to take their game to the next level.

As a beginner, I was intimidated by the complexities of golf. But Matt made the learning process fun and accessible. He has a knack for breaking down the fundamentals in a way that's easy to understand. Would recommend to anyone looking to improve their golf game!

I'm getting better at golf with Matthew's help. His explanations and feedback are really clear, and I found them quite helpful in understanding what I need to work on though. Still, I look forward to practicing more and seeing how my technique improves over time.
