"Worth every penny."

"Joe Charles was excellent with our boys! We just purchased a 10 pack of junior lessons with him!"

"Joe is a true teaching professional!  He listened very intently and was very interested in getting to know me and what I wanted to accomplish.  He instructed in a very clear, understandable and non-technical manner.  I felt very comfortable with Joe and feel confident that even with only one lesson, I can improve my game.  I was impressed that he sent me the video with narrative so quickly after my lesson.  That will be a good tool for me to review when I need a little reinforcement of what we worked on during the lesson."

"I was very apprehensive about doing a fitting.  Dave instantly put me at ease and quickly diagnosed my situation.   He encouraged me to practice with some drills and ordered a new full set of clubs for me.  That combination has been amazing.  I am very grateful that my husband "talked me into" doing the fitting.  Dave is wonderful (and so are my new clubs)!  I am just delighted."

"David McWhorter is an outstanding instructor. He is knowledgeable, patient, motivational and creative. He went over and above the norm in helping me. Much appreciated."

"The GEARS Golf 3D body and club analysis was  amazing. It showed me exactly what my swing was doing as well as the inadequacy of my current clubs. The shaft on my current set of clubs was not stiff enough and was actually bending in two directions on impact with the ball. I was able to increase ball speed and distance with the proper club. Thanks Dave McWhorter."

"Dave has a perfect balance of positives to his student, explain the issue he sees but still gives clear steps to overcome your swing change challenge. Of course Dave built this style by working hard with his student. We worked hard last winter which allowed him to steer me over my upcoming golf vacation even though we hadn't had a lesson 3 months."

"Dave McWhorter is the most effective golf teacher I have experienced over many years.  I have benefitted immensely from his teaching, demonstrating, mentoring, and coaching.  My game was really in a mess, and Dave helped sort it out, and conveyed a new foundation of core knowledge for me to continue on understanding why the swing changes he helped me with will make the most impact on my game."
