“I can’t recommend Thomas at Golf Done Right enough! I came to him as a relatively new female golfer after taking lessons elsewhere that left me frustrated and with some bad habits. I wasn’t seeing any improvement. My iron game was especially rough, I could barely hit them 30 feet. Fast forward to lessons with Thomas, and I’m now consistently hitting my irons over 100 yards and still improving! He has an incredible eye for detail and picks up on the smallest things that can make a big difference in your swing. He’s not only observant but personalized in his approach. What’s made the biggest impact for me is how he customizes his teaching to fit you. When I was struggling to grasp a concept in my downswing, he didn’t just keep repeating the same instruction, he changed up his method, until it clicked. That kind of adaptability is rare and so valuable. He’s also great at pacing, he doesn’t overload you with too many changes at once, which keeps everything manageable and less overwhelming. The recap videos he sends after lessons are super helpful for practice sessions on my own. If you’re new to golf or just looking to improve your game, I can’t recommend Thomas enough.”

Thomas is absolutely fantastic! I have experience with various instructors, and Thomas has been one of the best. He is great at finding ways/cues to make the adjustments really stick. Great technology as well to help make the most of the lesson and it's super helpful to be able to see what I'm doing and work on connecting to the feel. Great business, super kind and helpful, and such a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Thomas and Golf Done Right to anybody interested in improving their golf game - from beginner to more advanced he will tailor his instruction to meet your needs.

I have been working with Tom for 3 years on my swing. He’s an excellent instructor, and he has a great approach to teaching. He has the ability to instruct all skill levels, he utilizes video for on the spot feedback, and also works with clients not only indoors, but also on course during the summer! He has an easy demeanor during instruction, he is passionate about the game, and he utilizes drills that will improve your mechanics and lower your scores. I have referred my friends to him, I continue to work with him, even after lowering 10+ strokes off my game. Book a session now!!

Stop! No need to look any further, this is the golf instruction that will provide you with the most notable results, and great value. I have attended various golf schools, instructors, etc.. and this has been, by far, the best! The difference is that people like Thomas, recognize that it's not one size fits all. We all have different body types, ages, etc.. and they train you accepting that. As long as you do your part (practice what they teach), you will improve your game! I cannot recommend them enough! You will not be disappointed!!

I started lessons with Tom Rodriguez three weeks ago and the results have been instant. I was struggling with irons for years and lost all confidence in my game. After my swing evaluation,Tom immediately figured out what I needed to work on and provided me with the guidance to make proper contact. He is beyond knowledgeable about swing mechanics and has restored my confidence in my game. I highly recommend Golf Done Right for lessons and especially Tom as a coach. I will be continuing my lessons for the foreseeable future.

Thomas was amazing! We hosted a corporate event where he came out to our hotel and coached two group lessons. He was so patient and helpful with the beginner class and was stellar with the advance crew. Can’t wait to host another local corporate event to bring him back out too.
These are Thomas's usual hours. Specific weeks can have conflicts, so you'll see exactly what's open when you pick a time.
