"A 10 Stroke Improvement For 9 Holes!"
Hi Alex,
Along with the Tic Toc method (which really helped get me away from thinking so much about my swing, I was always thinking about shoulder turn, inside-outside path, over the top etc...), I found thatthe belly swing and modified belly swing drills really helped as does having a PLAN.
During the drills, and a lot on the actual course playing under the supervision of the instructor, I was told that my swing is all arms. I understood that now I'm getting a full turn and better timing and I started hitting the ball a lot better and more consistent.
Another thing that really helped was joining a gym and getting in better shape.

"A 10 to 11 Stroke Improvement!"
Hayden,
I have attended your class in St. Augustine. You may be interested to know that the drills and attitude that I was taught by you have enabled me to get my score from 100-105 to 89-95. Biggest advantage is that I don't take stupid shots anymore (stick to a sane plan) and if I have problems I'm able to recognize the cause and use the appropriate drill to get the swing back.

"Everything Exceeded My Expectations!"
Everything exceeded my expectations. I am playing better and can see improvement.
I had a really great time and I learnt a lot. I now know what I am doing wrong and how to fix it. Chuck was a very patient and thorough Instructor!! My score has improved, still a lot of room for improvement, but I am getting to the green faster. I need to practice my chipping and putting drills. I will definitely recommend GMS and I will definitely be back. Thank you very much!

"From 100's to 80's Pretty Quickly!"
Hello Alex,
My golf game has improved since I attended GMS. I don't remember my index from then, but I was scoring in the low 100s, I'm now in the mid-high 80s.
My friend Kevin and I are ready to go again this November.We are working on bringing a couple of friends too.

"Huge Improvement From Over 114 to 98!"
Hi Hayden,
I am pleased to tell you that I am playing the best golf I have ever played shooting 98 to 103 on a regular basis which is a huge improvement from the 114 (or more) that I was scoring before the GMS course. I put this down to you telling me that my irons were too long and buying new ones that fit me better (I now love my irons) and also the driver that you recommended was an amazing impovement and gave me great confidence off the tee.
Also I use my plan every time I play by playing to what I know I can achieve and keeping my ball in play rather than taking a club that I hope will get me where I want to be. So all in all I am getting the full benefit, so thank you both.

Alex,
The golf is going great. When I attended the program I was a 40 handicap, I now have a 22.3 and I won our club championship.This means I will get to play in the SCGA (Southern California Golf Association) Club Championships on December 8th. I am really excited about that.

"I Made All My Goals For The Year!"
Hayden,
Glenda and I took the GMS course in Boca at the end of March. At that time, one year into my golfing career, my best game was a 108, I rarely made par, and my handicap was 39+. I had three goals for my game for this season: break 100, get a birdie, get my handicap below 30.
Long story short, I made 99 twice this year, got two birdies, and my handicap index is now 29.9. I made all my goals for the year!
Granted, there were a couple of times that my game took a slide, but all I had to do was remember the GMS basics and think "Tic Toc". The swing would come back and the game would get more consistant.
Glenda and I are really thankful for the things that we learned and look forward to attending another class in the Spring.

"Almost 7 Strokes Off My Handicap In Less Than 4 Months!"
GMS,
I attended a session in June at Amelia Island. Since that time, my handicap index has improved dramatically in less than 4 months from 37.4 to 30.7, so needless to say - I am pleased with the direction things have gone over the summer.
On two occasions I've broken 100, scoring a 95 in July and another 95 on a hard course on October 10. One of my friends has signed up for GMS after seeing what it has done for me. Thanks for helping me to improve my game.

"My First Hole In One"
Hi Hayden,
Good news:
I'm having very little trouble getting out of the sand since our last conversation. In fact, I've had a few sand saves over the last half of the season and more importantly, I've got confidence in my ability.
Saturday, Sept 20, I shot a 95 which was my second lowest score of the season. I actually used driver, 6 iron, 6 iron on a 537 yard par 5 and went onto the fringe of the back of the green. On another Par of 520 yards, I was on in 3.
6 months ago before GMS, I would have been in shock at these - but now... it's getting better.
Anyway, I had 4 pars ... AND --------------- My first Hole in One!!!!!
6 iron, 140 yds from the center - pin back - unreal experience. Still in shock!!
Thanks for all your guidance.

"My Son Made The High School Golf Team!"
(After Missing The Team Last Year)
Marc,
Just wanted to ask you pass on some info to Jeff and a big thanks. My son Christian (age 15) and I were out in Phoenix this past spring with Jeff and had a great experience. Christian's goal after not making his high school's golf team as a freshman the prior year was to make it this year as a sophomore. After a great session in Phoenix and once the weather warmed up in Chicago he played and practiced non-stop all this summer.
I'd say his average score prior to GMS in Phoenix was over 50 for nine holes and breaking 50 was a rare occurrence. Last week at high school golf team tryouts he shot 41, 46, 46 to be the number 4 man on the squad and outshoot 27 of 30 guys that tried to make the cut.
Having a "Plan" was the biggest factor that contributed to his success in my estimation. Needless to say he and his parents are ecstatic. I wanted to share this with you and Jeff and say "thanks again".

"I Can't Get 'Tick-Tock' Out Of My Mind"
"This Is A Good Thing!"
GMS,
The program is a simple, consistent and very effective system that has really helped my game. Jeff was the perfect drill instructor. He kept us focused and on schedule, covering all the drills, but was also very patient, helpful and kind.
I can't get "tick-tock" out of my mind when playing - This is a good thing! Now, when my pace of swing is right and I shift my weight properly (step-thru drill), everything else seems to come together. Before GMS, I had a problem decelerating my swing on touchy shots, but working on the correct length of swing has really helped solve this problem. As I continue to play once or twice a week, and the GMS system has become even more ingrained, my scores are consistently lower and continually improving. Thanks so much. We will be back.

"3 Rounds Without Losing A Golf Ball!"
Scott
I've played 10 rounds since returning home on June 25th and my game is definitely more consistent. The driver has become my most consistent club. I can count the number of slices to the right on two hands during those 10 rounds (they happen a lot less compared with before GMS). One of the players last week had a skycaddie which allowed me to measure my drives. Typically between 240-260 yds. with fairway accuracy ranging from 43% to 62%.
So the end result is an improved handicap from 24 to 20. I haven't gone over 100 since returning with scores ranging between 92 to 99. The improved tee play has really eliminated the need to hit a second shot off the tee after a bad drive. I've played 3 out of the 10 rounds without losing a golf ball!
Thanks for all your help and I wish you the best.

"I Can't Wait To Get Out Again!"
GMS,
My second game after GMS was a delight! I shot a 99 which is the first time under 100 - even if it was only by 1 shot. My confidence remained high throughout the entire game as I practiced as many of the drills I could remember between shots, focused on my plans, rehearsed my shots and executed my plans and rehearsals. It was a great day indeed when all of the things from my GMS experience came together. I can't wait to get out again!

Scott and Hayden,
My game is coming around!! Yesterday, I had my best 7 hole stretch ever (holes 7-13) that included 4 pars, 2 bogeys, and one eagle (from 127 yards out on a par four). I ended up with a 94 that could've easily been in the 80's!!!
Thanks again for helping get me into the 90's - I feel the 80s aren't too far away!

"The Game Just Continues To Improve"
Hayden,
Just wanted to update you on my game.The Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, I broke 100 for the first time, scoring a 99 on the course at Rock Island Arsenal. 51 on the front, 48 on the back. That's a full 10 strokes better than my best score at the end of last season.
The game just continues to improve. I'm beginning to believe that the biggest take away from GMS is the ability to quickly analyze bad shots. Knowing what has gone wrong makes it easy to put that shot behind me and move on to the next good shot, eliminating carrying the frustration of 'what's going wrong?' from bad shot to bad shot.
Glenda's game also continues to improve. On my 99 game, she scored a 108, her best ever. We both continue to marvel at what you guys taught us and how much it's helped.
Can't wait for our next game (maybe tomorrow!)

"This Was The Most Incredible Golf Experience I Have Ever Had"
GMS - I finally GET it! This was the most incredible golf experience I have ever had. Hayden was awesome. I practice the 4 principles EVERY time I play golf.
Thank you for ridding me of the 50 instructions that I was told to remember before each shot on prior golf lessons. I am no longer a practicing contortionist either! I found it very easy to forget all of the Monkey lessons and only concentrate on the appropriate 4 items at hand. Overall my driver, irons, and chipping have increased beyond expectations. I am still working through my putting issues, but am confident with Hayden's future correspondence that I will get a handle on that too.
Thanks again for everything,

" I Wish Every Golfer Could Attend This Class"
To all at GMS, I returned home today from the GMS school inLa Quinta, California (April 11-13). It was everything I hoped it would be and then some. I cannot say enough about my instructor, Wataru. He is truly a gem and you couldn't ask for a better ambassador for your company. Wat is the ultimate professional; patient, sincere,but with an easy laugh and smile. Wat instantly made us all feel at ease with his easy going style and personality.
My co-students were all from Canada and I am from California. We worked hard and laughed a lot. My game is bound to improve with the "tools" I am bringing home with me. Finally, I know where my weaknesses are and how to fix them. I wish every golfer could attend this class, not only to get better, but to change their attitude on the course.
Wat, I wish you the very best of everything. You are a rare talent in so many ways.

"I Shaved 29 Strokes Off My Previous Score"
Hi Chuck,
I had 2 very good games this past week in Panama City after seeing you in Tampa. On one of the courses I managed to have several great drives in the 225 to 245 yard range. Before Golf Made Simple I was only able to hit my driver in the 190 to 210 yard range.
I managed to shave 29 strokes off my previous score at the same course. At the other course that I have been playing; I also managed to cut about 30 strokes off the score. It is really amazing how much better I am playing!
Anyway, thanks for putting the joy back into golf for me. We are off to Canada tomorrow. I'll be in touch with you once we start playing golf in the cold North.

"What A Great 3 Day Experience!"
Alex,
What a great 3 day experience! The weather was perfect, the facility was top notch and Paul was super. I wanted professional instructionand the idea of a 3 day program made more sense than weekly sessions so I chose GMS.
The instructor and the curriculum were perfect for me. From the first session I learned the four factors of a golf swing, I learned how to find my natural swing rhythm and found out what putting is really about. But the most fun for me was learning and interacting with our instructor, Paul Moore. He is a great communicator, lots of fun and absolutely devoted to the GMS program.
I found it refreshing that someone so accomplished as a player as Paul believes so strongly in the GMS philosophy. That sold me. I practice a set of drills every day and am striking the ball more solidly and with confidence.
I'll be back. Thanks Paul and GMS.

"TICK-TOCK ROCKS!"
A big hello to all my new friends at Golf Made Simple. I recently attended your three day golf program in Tampa, Florida and I must tell you that it more than exceeded my expectations.
Not only did I come away with a better golf swing and game, I had fun. Chuck, the instructor with patience of Job was terrific. The drills were great and what I needed to get me to a much improved game. My score has improved an average of 13 strokes and I am at last out of a year long slump and getting better.
My putting is 100% better and I am thrilled. What can I say about Tick-Tock that hasn't been said------it works, it works great-----TICK-TOCK ROCKS. Thank you, thank you for a wonderful learning experience. I think I have some golf buddies who now want to learn how to tick-tock.

"I Even Impressed Myself"
Hello Hayden,
Just wanted to let you know that I shot a 97 the other day on the toughest course in Bermuda. It was the one the PGA Golf Grand Slam was played on. I was playing with a 2 handicap golfer and he was very proud of my play after the match was over. I even impressed myself 'cause I stayed calm, cool and collected throughout the round.
Anyway, that is the second 97 I have had in a month and hopefully it is a sign of good things to come. I would like to return sometime in April to get further instruction.

"I Shot My Best Round Of 85!"
Wat:
I am enjoying the game so much more since I attended Golf Made Simple. Just the improvement of striking the ball more consistently has helped me enjoy going out on the golf course and has given me the confidence to play with any level of golfer without being intimidated.
If you remember when I came down the first time in 06, I was scoring 105 to 110. After class I improved into the mid to low 90's. Now after my '07 class I have shot my best round of 85 and I'm consistently below 90 in the high 80's.
I just wanted to let you know how much more I enjoy the game thanks for your wonderful golf hool.
