What Golfers Are Saying About Golf Made Simple

“A 9 Shot and 12 Shot Improvement!”

Marc – The proof is in the pudding! I arrived early, did my 29 ball warm up, putted into my box at 6, 9, & 12 ft. Told my buddy no gimmies, mulligans, etc for me today.

Well, I had an 86! Only one 3 putt! I hit 10 fairways, two holes were one putted! I was on in regulation three times, although there were six more holes where I was within five feet of the green!

Pars – 4
Bogie- 12
Double – 2

I can’t tell you how thrilled I am. My last two scores at this course were 95 & 98. A 9 shot and 12 shot improvement!

My thanks again to you for “converting” me from the heresy of technical golf, to Golf Made Simple.

“I Learned More In 3 Days Than I Have In 3 Years!”

Hello Jeff –

Just a small note to say that I really, really loved those 3 days.

I learned more in 3 days than I have in 3 years here in Paris!

My instructor was extremely professional and serious. I learned soooo much from him.

I thank you again and I will definitely come back sometime this year.

Nice day to you and my kindest regards,

“I Want To Praise Both The Program And Our Instructor!”

Hello Marc,

I want to praise both the program and our instructor, Brandon, at Innisbrook. We were a little apprehensive, but GMS took that into account.

Brandon was unfailingly encouraging and always informative. If I didn’t understand the first way he put something, he went at it from a different angle until I got it — never making me feel foolish.

With as little as I know of golf, my praise might not be meaningful, but I know myself pretty well and can tell you I will use these drills. I believe I will be able not only to have fun playing golf with my much-better partner, but also to improve.

So thank you again, and give Brandon a raise. He’s a real winner.

“GMS Was Well Worth The Money, Plus I Had A Great Time!”

Marc –

Marty and I just completed the GMS course at La Quinta, Ca. We started on 2/22 and completed on 2/24.

Your Instructor, Lucas, did a great job. He was punctual, directed his lesson with passion and energy. He used data and current examples of his craft to make his point. Plus he was a great guy and made the course fun as well as productive.

To understand what I got out of GMS, I started out the first day chipping the way I started 55 years ago off my back right foot. One of my objectives was to improve my chipping, which costs me 3-4 strokes per round. I was told there was a better way, and started chipping with the weight forward. I saw immediate improvement.

That just set the stage for everything else, from Tick Tock to understanding the fundamental principles of the game I had never heard explained like at GMS. My approach on the green and the sand were always issues. I now have a systematic process to follow.

GMS was well worth the money, plus I had a great time!

Thanks

“I’ve Improved Back Into The 80’s!”

Marc,

Just a short note to let you know how much we appreciate your instruction at Silver Rock in March.

After 5 different golf schools (and I won’t tell you how many DVDs), I was worried that I was becoming a golf instruction junkie. The methods of self assessment and correction that GMS uses will make all the difference in how I practice and play.

I feel like I gained insights into my own game and brought home easily duplicated methods of maintaining those improvements rather than fall back into former habits and routines. I’ve improved back into the 80’s, am on the green or just off in regulation, 1 or 2 putting and this is very early in our season.

Again, thank you so much,

“They All Noticed How Much More Consistent I Was!”

Hi Marc,

I just wanted to let you know, and I hope you will pass this on to Chad, how much I enjoyed the GMS clinic in La Quinta. I know my game has already improved as I implement my lessons.

I played golf this morning with three guys when their fourth wasn’t available at Rancho in Los Angeles. They were very impressed with how my game changed…in a week! They all noticed how much more consistent I was!

Looks like you can add three more guys to your list of soon-to-be students!

I scored a 95 – an easy 95 on a very, very windy day.

It was a great feeling!

“Looking Forward To Coming Back Next Year!”

Hello Marc,

We just had a great 3-day program in Spain with our family.

The program is excellent, and we all gained a lot of insight and a much better understanding of why the ball flies, how to be more relaxed, efficient while practicing, and in general to be a smarter golfer.

The 3 days flew by, even for our teenagers.

My daughter Lucie (18 hcp) came back from the 3-day course, and played 4 days of interclub, wining every match with 3 or 4 up against better golfers. My husband Steven played last weekend, and felt much better than he had since over a year.

So we are thrilled, and are looking forward to come back next year!

Thank you!

“I Shot 98! 1st Time Under 100!”

Marc,

I had to share my round today with you. A friend and I played at Cimarron.

My driver averaged about 210 mostly down the middle. I only had one penalty and no sand.

I shot 98! 1st time under 100! And that was with 45 putts. So I really hit the ball well!

Thanks for everything you did. I look forward to more improvement.

“A Very Good Learning Experience For Us!”

Marc,

Dominic was awesome. He shows a lot of passion and enthusiasm for the game which made it a very good learning experience for us!

He broke the swing down as well as the game. For example: I have been told for years to get my right hip going first. However, I was never “taught” how to do it. Just do it. So I could never get the feel.

The drills we learned at GMS accomplished that. It was comfortable, fun and well worth it.

Thank you for GMS. Looking forward to getting out there and putting it to the test.

“Consistently Trending In The Mid To High 80’s!”

Hi Brandon,

I can now finally get out on the course and apply the things I learned while I was with you in Tampa. So far, I have begun my season consistently trending in the mid to high 80’s!

Which is something I have not done for a really long time! YIPPIE!

I loved the GMS class size, learning approach; and I especially liked that we were able to play a round under your guidance; and apply the things we learned. This really helped give my confidence a tremendous boost as I begin a new season of league play.

You really are an excellent golf instructor. You are not only patient, but you are consistent and encouraging. The entire 3 days you remained simplistically straight forward and what you shared was really easy to absorb. As a result, my Golf Made Simple experience was fantastic; and I know I’ll continue with the drills and methods I learned. GMS really worked for me.

Thanks Again!

“Thank You For An Incredible Experience!”

Dear Marc,

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for an incredible experience!

The GMS Program was much more than expected and a great surprise. My instructor was an amazing teacher with a wonderful imagination. He was not only a great teacher of the mechanics of a golf swing, but also a brilliant instructor offering tools for managing my game.

Mike has the ability to relate life stories to the game of golf. He did a great job communicating and is definitely the right person for the job with GMS.

Our stay at Hammock Beach Resort was fabulous and we highly recommend it to anyone interested in your program. Thank you again.

“Your System Identified What I’ve Been Missing All These Years!”

Hey Marc,

I don’t want to take too much of your time, but want to let you know how much I appreciate your program. I am 55 years old and have played golf for 40 years. Most of that I was a very inconsistent mid 80 to mid 90 golfer.

I have always struggled with distance, in particular with the driver. I can’t tell you how many instructors I have taken lessons from. Obviously you know what they told me. “Your grip is too weak, change your stance, quit breaking your left arm…..” Never once was I given a tool to not do what they told me not to do.

In 2013 I hit my driver so short and poorly I told my wife I was going to a golf school and if they couldn’t fix it I was done with golf for good. I looked at Butch Harmon, Haney, a bunch of them. Until I stumbled across GMS, nothing resonated with me. Your approach seemed to be what I was looking for, but I was still leery.I wanted something I could take home with me and after calling I felt comfortable you guys were not just selling something and really had a system.

A buddy and I were supposed to go, but he backed out reasoning he couldn’t spend that much on golf and he would not get that much better. He is 65 and yes he hasn’t gotten any better, he has only moved up to the senior tees. Well, I went and John was a great instructor. Your system identified what I had been missing all these years! Had very little rotation and a pretty much an arms golf swing. When we played our first 9 holes I drove the ball so well the other guys in class were saying “why are you here?” To which I replied, “last week I couldn’t drive the ball 200 yards consistently!”

Once I left GMS in spring 2014 I fell in love with golf again. I enjoy playing and I enjoy going to the range with a plan and drills I know how to perform. I never expected for my iron play and putting to improve as well, but naturally they have. Since 2014 I have consistently shot in the low and mid eighties. I think I have had one, maybe two rounds around 90. I have even had a couple in the 70s, but they weren’t “scrambling” rounds. These are rounds where I hit over 50% of the fairways and greens, had no doubles and just played a nice clean round of golf.

If you are ever near the Houston area and want to play a round let me know.

Just wanted to drop you a line about my round today. Since my instruction with GMS at Whitehawk, my score has steadily improved.

Not sure if I ever told you how much we enjoyed the school at Hammock Beach in February.

My son and I attended and we try to play at least once a week.

I have been telling all my friends, relatives, co-pilots, managers at our favorite courses, basically anyone that will listen about GMS.

My son and I have a great time using our favorite phrase after hitting a nice shot, “Thank you Golf Made Simple!”

My last two rounds I shot 89 at tougher courses … yesterday was 6 pars and a birdie …. getting more of these and less of the high scoring holes, but MOST IMPORTANTLY – I am having a lot more fun!

“Best Money On Golf Lessons I Have Ever Spent!”

Brandon,

Just a note to thank you for your excellent golf instruction and demeanor.

Best money on golf lessons I have ever spent!

The GMS Program and the way you presented the information made it easy to understand and as it turned out for me, repeatable.

Since finishing GMS over the Father’s Day weekend, I’ve played 6 rounds of golf. On my first two rounds after class I matched my previous all-time best score both times and then set a new all-time best score in another round. Plus, I missed a hole in one on a 165 yard par 3 by 3 inches.

Another huge improvement was that I used to dread hitting out of sand bunkers, but that too is a thing of the past. I have safely hit out of bunkers on my first shot all but 1 time in those rounds and am even getting better at judging the distance and landing the ball closer to the hole versus ‘just getting out’.

“From A 10.1 Before GMS To An 8.6!”

Jeff,

I wanted to pass on my progress. My consistency in ball striking and getting back to great putting has helped me improve my index from a 10.1 before GMS to an 8.6!

This includes two rounds of 78 at Harding Park. In one of those 2 rounds, I was 1 under par and in the middle of the 13th fairway. I wasn’t able to finish strong, but no worries … it still was a 78!

Dominic: Thank you for a great three days. The drill for moving my center of gravity back in front of the ball was the single key I was looking for!

With practice and a new attitude, I am looking forward to the future. It will be nice to get back into the 70’s again.

Thanks again for a most pleasant experience. It looks like you have found your calling. I like your attitude and your manner. If you ever get to Oklahoma City I would love to have you play at our club.

“My 1st Place Trophy From The Club Championship!”

Hi Mike,

I was in your class this past spring. I just wanted to share with you a photo of my 1st Place trophy from the club championship held this past weekend!

I have been working the drills and steadily improving my game since the class. I went from high 80’s/low 90’s to low/mid 80’s. I believe I’ll break 80 later this year if the weather here in Alaska holds out.

I really enjoyed the class and your instruction was spot on. When I got back to Alaska I played with my buddy Mike and his son Justin. Mike was so impressed with my swing that he asked me to send him a link to GMS. They ended up both going to the school in Lake Tahoe and since then both of their games have improved markedly.

Mike actually came in second in the club championship! Thanks again for changing my golf game, I wish I had done it years ago.

“On The Front 9, I Managed To Par 6 Holes, Had 5 Straight!”

Hi Brandon,

My round last week was quite interesting. On the front 9, I managed to par 6 of the holes, had 5 straight at one point, easily a record for me!

I was able to chip downhill and putt up for a par on a par 3, 175 yard hole, which felt really good. Then I had a short par 4 with a creek at 210 yards. I elected to go with 6 iron off the tee, play a wedge right onto the green and 2 putt.

All I want to say is that it felt great and I could feel more confidence in my game.

Thanks as usual. You’ve been very helpful in me using the Instructor For Life Program since returning home from GMS.

“GMS Was My Last Resort!”

Hi Brandon:

You were my GMS Instructor in Tampa at the end of April. I’ve been meaning to email you all summer long.

I wanted you to know that your teaching has made a significant, positive impact on my golf game. I tried playing golf for 10 years and have paid many instructors to help me. But I would still hit mostly grounders and wasn’t even really playing golf.

GMS was my last resort!

Since returning I am now what I consider a competent player and am able to play with friends and colleagues and actually keep score. In essence, my goal of attending GMS was achieved. I’m now “competent”.

I still have lots to work on, but now I have fun on the course and look forward to improving my game.

“I Was Very impressed With Our Instructor!”

Marc,

I wanted to write and let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed the GMS course. This was the second time I have taken the course and I believe that I got more out of it this time.

Two reasons for that. First, I had a better idea of what we were doing and I could focus more on the lessons/drills. Second, I was very impressed with our Instructor! He was very easy to work with and he was able to convey to me the end result that he wanted from the drills.

He had a number of explanations which made it much easier to understand the concepts. I also started to understand the feeling that I should have when hitting a driver.

I will continue to recommend GMS to my friends if they want a school to improve their game.

Tick tock, baby!

It feels like a full swing, but I say “feel” because due to my new way of striking the ball, it doesn’t feel like I’m powering/muscling through the swing like I used to, so it doesn’t remotely hurt me anymore.

I’m really slowing down my swing – so my tick matches my tock. And the ball is going the same distance with my hybrid as my driver once did!

“I Have Improved 5 Shots On My Handicap”

Marc – the impact of the GMS course in Phoenix has been great.

I have improved 5 shots on my handicap and it’s still getting better. I am now having to recalibrate what I hit as my shots are longer.

The improvement has been noticed by all. And it’s way more fun. I can more often avoid layups to two of our big water carries for instance.

Just keeping out of the 100s was last year’s goal. I haven’t been in 100s for a fairly long time now.

Sometimes I lose that crisp iron feel I had at Phoenix, but then I go back to the drills. Although when I do feel one, I really know it. The improvement in my short game is very noticeable. I know what I am to do!

Anyway, I wanted to let you know how much I loved the course, your approach and the whole experience. It has made a fundamental difference.

“I Love Your System!”

Marc – I just thought I’d take this opportunity to mention how much Michelle and I enjoyed our three days at GMS. Our instructor, Lucas, was fantastic and the group of golfers we were in was perfect. There was a real connection with them from the start and a true bond between us by the end of the school.

I love your system… frankly, before we came here, in some ways I envisioned having my grip, stance and swing broken down completely and wondered how that could be done and rebuilt in three days and accomplish anything else. Quite quickly I learned that we actually did have something to build on and that a few basic changes made a big difference and that developing a rhythm and having a routine and a plan for every shot was really important and resulted in some improvement almost right away.

I think the best thing from my standpoint is looking back at my goals when I enrolled back in March and knowing how much I’m going to be able to work on them and continue to improve using your system over time.

Suffice to say that my days of going to the range and hitting a bucket of balls with no real productive purpose are behind me.

Hi Lucas,

Its been 5 weeks since I had the opportunity to work with you at Centennial CC.

I have played 6 times since the lesson and all have been better than my 7 handicap.

Especially my last 2 rounds +1 and +2, the last one I was -3 with 6 holes to play, unfortunately I started to over pay attention to the score and tension came back and could not get thru an incredible round. But I still shot 74 (5 strokes better than my handicap).

Anyway the attitude now is I just need to get used to be playing under par.

Fun is back in my golf game and the chipping yips are gone. Its amazing how a simple routine like tick tock (got me to turn) and made the difference.

To say the least; it was a great experience for Tammy and me!

Brandon was fantastic and persistent while be totally respectful. Respectful of us as individuals even though we had only a modicum of talent. Respectful of the time and money we invested; and he gave us complete and thorough attention to exhibit that respect.And finally, respectful to the basic tenants of the GMS program by making it a learning experience that we could take home and use for years in the future.

Thanks for a great experience!

Also, I would be remiss to not point out that my game has markedly improved! I had a number of matches in the past few weeks and I have gained new respect as a golfer by my friends – all while taking a bit of their golf money!

And all this was accomplished because now I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING! It’s not just a case of “act/react”; it’s truly understanding the mechanics and consequences of my swing and thought processes.

There is a reason for “what’s your plan?” and “tick-tock”. Simple stuff but very effective. Of course, you knew that already!

You certainly can use me as a reference.

“I Regret I Didn’t Do This Ten Years Ago!”

Hello Marc,

I just want to let you know what a treasure you have in Lucas in La Quinta.

I finished the three day class on Sunday December 13. Things in my swing that have held me back for years disappeared within the first three hours and I spent the rest of the time building a foundation for years to come.

I regret that I didn’t do this ten years ago! I plan to be a surprise, if not a scourge to my regular playing partners. I didn’t think learning could be so enjoyable.

Much thanks,

“My Partner And I Won The Day!”

Hi Brandon,

Thank you for the time you spent with Maureen and I last weekend.

Just to let you know, my first game back at Stonebridge was in the qualifying tournament for our Member/Member competition.

My partner and I won the day with a best ball net score of 57. My personal score was 75 which is my best score (by far).

Thanks for helping to make it happen.

“I Am Still So Pumped And Bragging To Many Friends!”

Marc – I want to sincerely express my endorsement of the program and of Lucas

I returned from my recent GMS LaQuinta golf experience, invigorated, thrilled and totally satisfied with the quality of the instruction and my new learning.

I am still so pumped and bragging to many friends! I experienced a leap forward in understanding new techniques (ball striking, and sand trap play) and course play strategies. Which I expect will lower my score and enhance my golf play enjoyment.

“It Was The Best Golf Instruction!”

Marc,

I didn’t know what to expect before the Program (it was given to me as a birthday gift), but I absolutely loved it.

It was the best golf instruction and golf learning I have ever had. I could see results by day 2 which amazed me. John was a terrific instructor. The facilities were amazing.

I would definitely do either this Program again or GMS 1.5 next.

Thanks again for a wonderful golf learning experience.

I can’t say enough about the 3 days I spent at Innisbrook with Brandon. He’s the man!

Now that I know what I need to do to have that same consistent swing, I can’t wait to get out and practice, practice, practice. Having these drills printed out, in my golf bag, and with me at all times will be so key to helping me along. And, oh yeah. Brandon’s voice in my head!

I went to Tampa with a friend and we are planning on doing your program again!

“It Was Absolutely Excellent!”

Hey Marc,

We loved GMS – it was absolutely excellent! Our instructor was great, the group we were with was great, the courses were super nice and so was the hotel.

I played twice this past weekend – and saw significant results. More importantly than seeing results I feel like when things go awry I have a way back to finding what was working – which as you know is the worst feeling when you’re lost out there after a few bad shots.

It just makes the game more fun and relaxing. I really feel like I’m striking the ball well, real golf shots.

Kimberly was away this past weekend and so didn’t play, but she probably put 20-40 yards on her ball after GMS – at least. She’s never wanted to play past 9 holes before – and I gave her an out, where she could nix day 3 if she was tired of too much golf. Just the opposite though – she loved it!

The school is excellent – I can really see why it’s so successful.

“I Can Definitely Hit The Ball Better!”

Marc –

I enjoyed the 3 days at GMS and I can definitely hit the ball better! I also wanted to let you know that the instructor, Scott, was excellent. He really took the appropriate amount of time with each of us and focused on our level and needs.

On a scale of 1 – 10, ten being the highest score, I would give him a 10. He was always professional and has a great attitude.

I will likely be back for a refresher.

“We Are Both Playing Better Than Ever!”

Hi Brandon,

I am writing to share some good news with you. I qualified for State Sectionals this upcoming Monday!

My dad and I played at the course where they will be played, Running Deer, and shot a 78. Not bad for the first time playing there.

The greens are much faster than I am used to and they are extremely undulating. I also played in the Mercer County Tournament which is where the best schools from the county play. I shot 82, which was not my best, but I had the lowest score for my team.

My Dad is also playing well. He played six holes with me at Running Deer, until he got back spasms, but was shooting well. He seems to have gained yardage with his woods and driver and he is very happy.

We can’t thank you enough for all that you did as we are both playing better than ever!

These last few days have been more fun than I could have imagined! Scott was truly incredible both with his teaching and his graciousness. I am coming away with not only a much better golf game, but also with skill enough to improve on my own.

Although I know you have many many wonderful instructors, I may have to travel to Spain for my next class. My sister and I are groupies of Scott. I can’t wait for my husband to be able to experience this.

“First Time I Ever Broke 90!”

Once again thank you for your patience and professionalism over the past 3 days. You are truly an excellent communicator, Instructor and very positive and encouraging person.

I attached a link of my scorecard from my round of golf today. First time I ever broke 90 on that course. It was a totally different round of golf for me today.

I had a plan for each hole and a plan for each swing. Of course not all went as planned, but I had an understanding of what went wrong and what was needed to correct it. There was a really nice feeling of calmness about this round.

Hope your next class of students are pretty cool for you and they are very lucky that you are their Instructor.

Thank you for the great work. Today I shot a 90—lowest round in some time!

2 birdies and 5 pars. And was closest to the hole on two par 3’s.

In total I had only about 7 bad shots. I putted lights out. The best part of all of this is that on every less than good shot I knew exactly what I did wrong.

“The First Time Ever Under 40 On A Nine!”

Marc,

I just want you to know that I have improved my game substantially as a result of your teaching and the GMS program.

I continue to practice the drills laid out and for once can count myself in the 20% of golfers who are happy with their game!

Last night at our Men’s golf (due to time, we only do 9 holes) I shot a 39 with a double on my first hole! The first time ever under 40 on a nine!

Our groupings are handicapped and at the start of the season in April I was in the worst flight group (7) and moved up to group 5 last week.

Besides moving back on the tee box, I now compete against better players for the weekly low scores. More competitive, but more fun too!

Once again, thanks Marc and to the GMS system of improving my golf game.

“As An Educator Myself, I Recognize Good Curriculum!”

Dear Marc,

I have just completed the GMS course with Scott Thomson at Sotogrande.

I am writing to express my utter gratitude for the course and the wonderful tuition I received. As an educator myself, I recognize good curriculum, and equally importantly, good teachers and instructors. I employ them, interview them and hire them as Head of Surgery at my University.

Scott is one of those people that I would be honored to have on my team working at the University. His method of relating the curriculum, of explaining the concepts at a level that made it understandable was as good as I have ever seen in trained educators. He had the wonderful ability to credibly build my confidence and at the same time help me understand how and why I hit good shots and importantly, what went wrong when I didn’t.

I cannot thank you enough for having someone like him as my instructor this weekend gone.

Once again, thanks and congratulations.

Marc – if I could only begin to describe the quality of Scott’s instructions. I took his input on to the course today and played the best round of golf I have ever played!

And yes I made some crappy shots, but his words were in my head: there will be bad shots, even the best make them. I adjusted because at least I knew what I did wrong and could make the correction.

And to think his instruction was 180 degrees opposite to what any instructor has said to me before. I now get out of every bunker every time, and I don’t think flag, I think green. “Tick tock” I will be back.

All the best. And feel free to post this on your website. You deserve to.

“I’m Thinking My Handicap Will Improve!”

Hey Scott –

Thanks for the great golf lessons! I took it out to the club today and struck the ball really well. The driving range was facing into a 20 MPH wind, but I was striking the ball crisply, contacting the ball first and then the mat, launching it high, and even hitting a nice draw on demand. It was really fun.

Then went out and played 3 holes, and made great contact on the course as well. Lots of work still required, but I’m thinking my handicap will improve to below 15 pretty quickly. And if I keep working hard on all you taught us, including the short game, I’m hoping 12 or even 10 may be in range this year.

I’ll keep you posted, and again, thank you!

“I Can Actually Hit A Draw Regularly Now!”

Hi Brandon,

I wanted to send you a note to tell you how much I enjoyed the golf school.

The program, the drills, the on-course play with instruction and most importantly the love you have for this game is what made the three days for me. I now feel like I have a plan for improvement and will be able to see measurable gains.

I was at the range today and was able to refer to the Players Page and work through many of the drills and hit targets, while those around me were just hitting ball after ball.

With your help I can actually hit a draw regularly now, rather than my normal slice. I am really playing better, and now I enjoy practicing because I know improvement will follow. So, thank you so much for making the school what I had hoped it would be.

“It Really Works – And It Actually Makes Sense!”

Marc:

Just got back from my 3 days in Phoenix and wanted to let you know how happy I am that I booked the 3-day course with GMS. After years of trying to play the game, way back when, I had sworn to myself that I would never pick up a golf club again. It just seemed to me that there was some magic involved in the stupid game that I was never going to figure out.

All the great advice friends were so eager to offer: stand this way, hold the club this way, keep your head down, keep this arm straight, hit down on the ball, point your knee on the back swing, etc. etc. etc. just made it all the more frustrating for me and further convinced me that the game was far too complicated for me to ever figure out, or at least ever want to figure out.

After just a few hours on my first day with GMS I realized that there was no great mystery to the game of golf and, in fact, I just might be able to do it. The GMS approach was right on the mark for me – no magic, no bizarre contraptions like the poor guy on the range with some sort of pillow under his arm, just simple understandable principles of what actually happens when you hit a golf ball, illustrated simply and clearly with specific drills.

It really works – and it actually makes sense!

I have had far too many good intentioned people tell me exactly what to do, with no success, but Scott was able to explain why we were doing it, explain the steps to doing it clearly, and then allow us to see the results of doing it all while providing encouragement and support (and every now and then the much needed admonishment for not doing it).

Thank you and be assured I will be returning.

“Your School Is In A Class By Itself!”

Hayden,

Words alone cannot express the level of confidence I achieved over my golf school experience this past weekend. I have been to many golf schools in the past, and while all of them were good, your school is in a class by itself!

Not only is your method of teaching excellent, but your instructor Brandon loves what he is doing and it shows. I have made progress in the previous schools, but not significant. With GMS, my game improved dramatically. Even the people who were in my class noticed the unbelievable difference from day 1 to day 3.

I am sure I will be back again and I will certainly recommend your program to my friends and family. Below is a copy of the email I sent to Brandon:

Brandon, I just wanted to write to you and thank you for the tremendous improvement you have made in my golf game. Not only am I hitting the ball better, but you have given me confidence that I never had. I am looking forward to my next chance to play, as soon as the weather cooperates. I am standing in my entrance foyer doing the modified belly swing. I have plenty of room and high ceilings. Not only is the GMS teaching method excellent, but your patience is greatly appreciated. You will always be with me when I am out on the course. I will never listen to another monkey.

“Give Them My Number!”

Due to various jobs and a battle with cancer I got away from golf and decided that I would go back to playing as frequently as I could. At one point I was a strong 6 handicap and knew which end of the club to hold onto.

After reviewing others, I decided GMS was what I was looking for. I just attended the school in Phoenix and to say that I enjoyed it would be a slight understatement.

The instructor, his manner and professional demeanor was top shelf.

After leaving GMS, I left for home the next day and when I saw a hotel across from a golf course, I decided to stop for the day and play nine holes. I approached the course with a PLAN and had a very satisfying round.

6 pars, 3 bogies for a 38 on a strange course – eliminate one ball behind a tree and two strokes where I left my brain in my golf bag and I would have been even Par.

IF ANYONE WANTS TO CALL ME ABOUT YOUR SCHOOL, GIVE THEM MY NUMBER!!!

Hello:

Anne B here. Diane T and I worked with GMS in LA Quinta on January 19 – 21.

First of all, thank you! I had the most fabulous three days.

Since then, we did go from our lessons to the Mission Hills Invitational and although we weren’t in the money, I personally felt my game was much more consistent. Since being back home I’ve been out to practice a few times and played a few holes in pretty awful weather. Still felt I was more consistent.

Yesterday, I went out and shot my best round ever, 82. Which included 5 pars, 1 birdie and 1 eagle (a hole in one…).

I knew then, I am definitely more consistent! It just felt so great, feeling confident about my swing, judging where I wanted to be, hearing Jeff (“Don’t be a chicken…). It all felt great and I attribute entirely to Jeff’s teaching and your methods.

“I Like How The Drills Build On Another!”

Hi Hayden,

I have been thinking about your question regarding what in particular helped me to improve the most I can’t point to one drill or one item that helped the most. I like how the drills build on one another. The on-course instruction came in handy in helping me plan before hitting the course.

Nevertheless, the one overriding factor that helped is that GMS concentrates on feel. For the first time in my life I can feel good contact and I can feel a good swing from bad.

It starts with the weight on front foot drill and learning how impact feels. Learning feel continues throughout the drills. The eyes closed drill was particularly helpful to me. When I get out of rhythm on the course, I will take practice swings with my eyes closed until it feels right. On my trip to Scotland, I changed my pre-shot routine to incorporate practice swings with my eyes closed. The change will be a permanent part of my routine. It is wonderful to forget about mechanics and to concentrate on scoring.

“I Am Now Consistently Breaking 90!”

Hi Marc,

I completed Golf Made Simple this past summer. And I can’t say enough good things about your program. I had a fabulous teacher that made the concepts both personalized to me and easy to understand.

So having completed GMS, I wanted to share my successes with you. My index has improved from 15.4 to 12.9 and I feel I’m on the road to a single digit index. More importantly to me, I am now consistently breaking 90!

My best scores have improved by 3 to 4 strokes, but more importantly my worst scores have improved by 10 to 12 strokes. So on a tough day now, I am around 90 rather then struggling to break 100.

I attribute this to having a PLAN. GMS taught me the difference between a Monkey and a Player. This concept has completely changed my game. Having a plan has not only improved my scores and index, but also enabled me to win my clubs’ Match Play Championship this year.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think my name would be “up on the wall” with all the other champions. I owe much of that title to GMS.

I really appreciate John’s patience, focus and guidance in directing me through the step-by-step process that makes GMS one of the best instructional golf schools in America. I was on the range yesterday with a purpose and focus that was non-existent in the past. I found myself taking a step back and watching other golfers “flail away” at their bucket of balls and understanding that w/o the GMS instruction, I would still be there myself.

I not only look forward to, but expect to see strong improvement in my game over the next several weeks. I know that I now have the tools to play the game in a more rewarding fashion that ever before.

Just a quick note to report a personal best golf score at my regular course here in Florida.

I shot a 100 with 31 putts on my FIRST outing with the Ladies’ League. Before the lessons with GMS my lowest was around 110 with an average of 117.

That’s fantastic don’t you think?

Thank you !!!

“My Index Improved 5 Strokes!”

Dear Marc,

I attended GMS in Hammock Beach on 18 Dec and I just wanted to say that I was extremely pleased with the results.

After I left the school, I went to Hawaii and after 17 rounds my index improved by 5 strokes from a 19 to a 14. So clearly the course helped and I am very much pleased.

“My Handicap Has Improved By 5 Strokes!”

Hello John, took me a while to get back to you. I am happy to say that my handicap has improved by 5 strokes! So that is really good.

It gets better though.

Last Tuesday I had a hole in one. And even though everybody knows that there is a lot of luck involved, I executed a great shot.

Right now, I am working hard on my mental state, i.e. staying confident and Tick Tock.

“The Most Amazing Experience These Last Three Days!”

Dear Marc,

Just wanted to let you know that I had the most amazing experience these last three days at your GMS camp at Whitehawk Ranch!

Denise and I loved our instructor Jeff, and we couldn’t have been paired up with two finer people than John and Colin, what a great father and son. We had so much fun with them, it made the experience that much better.

Jeff was an excellent instructor, he was very thorough in his explanations; I now understand golf from the very basics and I like your theory and your program. Jeff was very professional, very patient, and an excellent instructor.

Thank you again for offering GMS and I look forward to being a GMS Alumni and participating again in the future in another GMS camp!

“Your Approach To Simplifying Golf And Clearing The Clutter Was Perfect!”

Hi Marc –

I attended your 3 day golf school this past April in La Quinta, California.

At the start of 2014, my love for golf was at its end. Prior to your golf school, I had spent the past 2 years absolutely struggling with my short game from 100 yards into the green.

I went from a 4 handicap to shooting rounds into the 100’s. It was a frustrating experience to see my short game go. And for an individual who looks for golf to get away from life and work, golf became stressful.

I needed help as golf was not fun anymore.

I have to thank you for your golf school, as well as for your hiring of great golf instructors like Jeff Seigler. Jeff was absolutely awesome and his style of teaching was absolutely what I needed. Your approach to simplifying golf and clearing the clutter was perfect. I left your golf school inspired to play again and I have to give tons of credit to Jeff.

Since April my golf game and confidence are coming back. I remain committed to the GMS teachings and continue to practice the drills I learned, and I warm up before rounds as instructed.

I am getting back to consistently shooting in the low 80’s with a round here and there in the 70’s. In fact, just after the April golf school in La Quinta, in late May, I was back out in Palm Springs for a week long golf vacation and I played 9 rounds of golf in 7 days. 2 of my rounds where in the 70’s and 7 of my rounds were in the low 80’s. This would not have happened without your golf school.

I sincerely thank you and Jeff for helping me find my love of golf again!

“My Practice Sessions Are Now Purposed, Efficient And Productive!”

Marc,

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with the GMS program as it clearly stands out among the several golf schools that I have attended in my nine years of playing.

I joined a three day session at Hammock Beach in March of this year and the learning process, which began five minutes into the program, continues with me now seven months later. I continue to refer to the drills Hayden introduced and then seamlessly connected to the full swing.

Their simplicity defies their effectiveness in building a solid, repeatable motion. Armed with this knowledge, my practice sessions are now purposed, efficient and productive. I have confidence in my skills and ability to improve my game because I have a Plan. Thank you!

“My Golf Game Is Moving In The Right Direction!”

Hi Hayden,

Just wanted to let you know my golf game is moving in the right direction. I’ve recently had a couple of straight-up (no mulligans, etc.) 81’s from the big boy tees at my club. I know a score with a 7 in front of it will come eventually, but I’m not stressing over it. Also, my breadth of competence from round to round is getting more narrow.

There’s no doubt that all the concepts I gradually absorbed from my session with you at GMS are a big reason for my progress. My tempo, swing plane, balance and finish are all improved. My chipping is more consistent, fewer 3 putts also.

You’re a true professional and a great guy, Hayden. I hope things continue to go well for you.

“Today I Hit 14 of 14 Fairways As Long Or Longer Than Ever!”

Marc,

Each time I have played since leaving Palm Coast, I see my ball striking improve. Today, I hit 14 of 14 fairways as long or longer than ever! I hit 14 of 18 greens.

Since coming home I have reduced my average putts by 2 and my handicap has improved to a 12.4. Based on how I am playing I suspect that it will continue to improve. I have shot in the 70’s twice since coming back and usually that is a once every 6 months.

The drills are really helping. The biggest help has been the parallel hands drill.

Going to Golf Made Simple was a big investment, but the teaching and drills really work and you have made my golf simpler.

“GMS Has Changed Our Games Forever!”

Hi Marc –

We finished our GMS course at Almenara Resort with Scott yesterday and are heading back to Mallorca. We just wanted to say that we were totally impressed by the whole experience with the Golf Made Simple programme.

We feel very fortunate to have participated in GMS and stumbled across a concept which has changed our view towards improvement in golf. If the potential that we’ve seen turns out to be as great as we suspect, then it would not be an exaggeration to say that GMS will have changed our games forever!

Scott was a perfect host and hospitable professional who was able to convey the concepts and drills in a thoroughly clear and understandable manner. We enjoyed our time with him and learned a lot at the same time.

We will be recommending your course to friends and family. In our opinion the GMS concept is one of the best kept secrets in the world of golf.

Best wishes and thanks again for the experience.

“Since GMS, I Have Scored My Personal Best!”

Marc,

My wife and I attended GMS in Palm Coast earlier this month. Our instructor, Hayden Lewis was simply outstanding.

My wife, although a beginner continued her improvement and shot 20 strokes better than her previous best score to reach her goal of breaking 120. On the last hole she hit a 170 yard drive right down the middle!

I have a 13 handicap and am hitting the ball my best ever. Since GMS, I have scored my personal best including two 9 hole scores of 40.

My wife and I plan to attend 1.5 next year with GMS. It was a great experience with a tremendous teacher and a nice getaway for a couple that enjoys the game.

Golf is so much more fun for my wife now and consequently I get to play a lot more myself!

Just wanted to send a quick note to let you know how much more consistent my game has become since my 3 days with you in early May.

I played yesterday and shot an 84 (my best score ever), but more importantly, I only had 1 double bogey for the entire round. I also had 2 birdies!

“I Shot An 83, Which Is About 4 to 5 Strokes Better!”

Alex – Dennis and I had a great 3 days with GMS.

After getting back to the San Francisco Bay area I had a chance to try what I had learned at GMS into my golf game. My very first round I shot an 83, which is 5 strokes better than my average.

The next day I shot 79.

I struggled a little on the front nine, then I decided to focus on my PLAN for playing the back nine and ended up 1 under par: 1 Bogey and 2 Birdies. The rest were pars, but importantly I had a putt for birdie on every one of these holes except one, where I chipped to one foot of the hole from the short side of the green.

Needless to say I was delighted with my back nine.

I plan on doing a lot more practicing now that I have learned how to practice and what to focus on when I practice my weaknesses.

As I continue to work on my game, I will reach out to my Instructor for Life for guidance as needed.

Thanks for all of your help.

“From Not Breaking 100 To An 89 In Less Than 2 Months!”

Hello Hayden,

I’m emailing to tell you that through you and GMS, I made my goal of breaking 100. I am consistently hitting under 100 (97, 95, 91) and today I broke 90 for the first time!

An 89, my best round ever.

Your lessons and “tick tock” has me striking the ball so much better. I am not only surprising my friends, but I am surprising myself. The lessons and knowing what I am doing wrong on the course when I hit bad shots has me striking the ball 100% better.

Today, the first nine holes I hit a 41. I made four Pars in a row and was in position to make birdies

Golf Made Simple is a great system and I would recommend it to anybody who struggles with their golf game.

Thank you for helping me to make this game much more enjoyable.

“We Have Both Seen Tremendous Improvement In Our Games!”

Dear Golf Made Simple,

My husband and I attended GMS in Lansdowne Resort at the end of June. We both have seen tremendous improvement in our games since coming back home.

When we arrived at golf school, our instructor, Matt, asked each of us what we were looking to improve at golf school. My answer was simply to improve my short game.

In one months’ time, my entire game has improved. I am consistently getting to the green in fewer strokes, chipping to get the ball closer to the hole and putting with confidence. I don’t panic if my ball ends up in the sand. I now think about getting the ball to the pin, because I have an easy plan to get out of the sand.

I enjoy having a good practice session with the GMS drills and find it’s easy to find the time to practice now that I have a plan versus just going to the club to hit a bunch of balls.

We recommend GMS to all our golfing friends. My friends, can’t believe the difference in my game. As a teacher, I must say our instructor, Matt, was outstanding in explaining the drills, modeling the drills, observing the class practice the drills and error correcting as needed. Matt made the class very interesting and fun.

Lastly, when I hear people say that they just had a lesson and now their game is really off, I tell them not with GMS. With GMS the positive results are immediate.

“Last Night I Broke 80!”

Good morning Jeff,

Great news, last night I broke 80! A well balanced round of golf ended with a 79 on the scorecard.

Every aspect of my game is seeing improvement since the time I spent with you in January. You asked me what my takeaway from the school was, and while I did not realize it then, by the time our plane landed back in Calgary it was obvious… a plan.

A practice plan and a game plan.

The practice drills are printed from the Player Page and in my golf bag. They have contributed to incremental improvements in my golf swing and game every day.

Everyone I play with has commented on the improvement they see. One of my favourite comments has been ‘stroke saver’ and that referred to my wedge game from 50 yards and in. I want say thank you again and let you know that I am working the plan and should make it back to see GMS in Feb of 2015.

“41-40 For A Total Of 81 – Now That’s Improvement!”

Hayden, I wanted to take a few moments to let you and everyone at GMS know how much I enjoyed the three-day session last week in DC. In brief, I can now enjoy the game again!

When I decided that I was going to do an “instructional golf getaway”, I researched numerous programs and based on what were clearly real testimonials along with Marc’s newsletter content, felt GMS was the best value. I don’t know how I could be any happier with the outcome. From my first contact with your office, I could tell that GMS was a customer-focused, quality organization. Your communications was then followed up by Alexandria just to be sure everything was in order before I made the trip.

Beginning on the first day – learning what correct impact is supposed to feel like, all the way through the third day with getting out of the bunker with one shot – the program was exactly as described on your web site.

If you would have told me that within one hour of starting the instruction that I would have enough feel in my golf swing to hit the ball with my eyes closed, I would not have believed you. Being able to do that really elevated my confidence! And that was just the start. In my opinion, the arrangement of the instruction and being able to go from the range to the course with the Instructor and apply what you have been taught is far more valuable than the typical approach offered by others.

I could go on and on about all of the takeaways, the drills, the instructor for life program, etc., however I want to share what happened the day I returned home.

It was now my turn to go “solo” and put what I learned to the test. I went to the local course, performed the 29-ball warm-up, and played 18 holes of golf and applied what I just learned from GMS. My previous scores on this course were at best, in the low 90’s. This day, I went 41-40 for a total of 81. Now that’s improvement!

From a former monkey known as “speedy”, keep up the great work and Tick-Tock!

“My Last Three Rounds Are In The 70’s!”

Hi Marc:

First of all, thank you for working with me to help me get into the program in Denver. I was grouped with Rodney and Hunter, and it was a great fit for me.

I was frustrated with my game before GMS, as I went from a 2.9 index in 2013 to an 8.1 in August of 2014. Lots of “monkey” fixes to my swing. I was a head case when it came to the driver. GMS was just what I needed!

What I loved about the program was not just swing fixes. It involved a simplified approach to every club in the bag and perhaps more importantly for me, how to practice, warm up and get around the course.

So on to my improvement. It’s early yet, and I know I still have a lot of appropriate practice to look forward to, but my game has definitely taken a turn for the better. Prior to GMS, 18 of 20 rounds were up in the 80’s. My last three rounds are in the 70’s!

My scores since GMS are as follows:

42, 37 = 79; 41, 36 = 77 at Forest Highlands; 41, 32 = 73 at Monarch Bay

So thank you GMS. I appreciate the follow up phone calls and the congratulations. I feel that every drill was important and well thought out. I would love to take the course again.

“My Confidence Standing Over The Ball Is At An All-Time High!”

Marc,

I attended GMS in Washington DC on June 13-15. I had previously attended 10 years ago in 2004 and it took my game to a new level.

This year I was struggling and my handicap was going in the wrong direction.

I entered the class with a 6.6 index and was struggling in all areas. Matt tweaked a few little things and by the second day I was striking the ball as well as I ever had. It took a few rounds to get use to my new found yardage with each club!

The best part of the course for me was the course management discussions and strategies; I still tend to be too aggressive, but have been working that hard.

Yesterday, when I received my updated index it improved to a 4.2! I have improved in all areas, Fairways hit, GIRs and scrambling. My confidence standing over the ball is at an all-time high!

I broke par with a 1 under 71 about 6 weeks after attending and shot 75-77 for my lowest club championship score. I have recommended your school to numerous people and look forward to my continued improvement.

“This Year I Have Played The Best Golf Of My Life!”

Marc –

The test of a product is not how it looks straight out of the box, but how the product performs after it has been used and abused. The proof of a program like Golf Made Simple is how the golfer plays months or years after attending the course.

I attended the three-day program a year ago. Bottom line, this year I have played the best golf of my life. My game has never been better.

My instructor was Hayden Lewis. I can’t say enough good things about Hayden. He truly seemed to care about my progress. Thanks for all the help, Hayden.

The concept of Golf Made Simple makes perfect sense. I committed to stick with the program. I worked on the drills in the order presented and a miracle happened, the drills became easier and easier. My contact with the ball became better and better.

The benefit of Golf Made Simple is not just on the range, however, but on the course. As I got better at each drill, I got better on the course. A shot pushed to the right doesn’t end up in the trees, but on the right edge of the fairway. I started to reach long par 4s in two. My drives were longer and consistently found the fairway. I started hitting greens in regulation and making more pars and birdies than bogeys. My handicap improved 9 strokes from last summer.

Who knew golf could be so much fun? I no longer have to concentrate on mechanics, I can focus on strategy and shot making during a round. I now have the game to play the course, not just struggle around it.

The impetus for going to Golf Made Simple was a planned golf trip to Scotland with three friends. Thanks to GMS, I now have a game that I can travel with. I averaged around 10 shots per round better than on our last trip three years ago. My friend from out of town, who had not played with me for over a year, was dumbfounded by my improvement.

The Golf Made Simple program works, and works much better than countless lessons from local pros.

Thanks Hayden and Golf Made Simple.

“For The First Time In My Life I Can Feel Good Contact!”

Hi Hayden,

I have been thinking about your question regarding what in particular helped me to improve the most. Although I can’t point to specifically one drill or one item – I like how the drills build on one another. And the on-course instruction helped me plan before hitting the course.

Nevertheless, the one overriding factor that helped is that GMS concentrates on feel. For the first time in my life I can feel good contact and I can feel a good swing from bad.

It starts with the weight on front foot drill and learning how impact feels. Learning feel continues throughout the drills. The eyes closed drill was particularly helpful to me. When I get out of rhythm on the course, I will take practice swings with my eyes closed until it feels correct.

On my trip to Scotland, I changed my pre-shot routine to incorporate rehearsal swings with my eyes closed. The change will be a permanent part of my routine. It is wonderful to forget about mechanics and to concentrate on scoring.

Thanks,
