I had to contact you to tell you how much your article in Golf Magazine from Oct 27/22 titled "The "secret" to pure ball-first contact with these 4 swing keys" has changed my entire golf life. I haven't been able to take it to the course yet as I live in Canada, but I have been hitting indoors in a dome. I can't believe the contact! It's unfathomable that I can get it out of the sweet spot with ball first contact every time I swing using this method. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! As advice I thought I'd try it whilst putting. OMG! Thank you again! Out of the sweet spot on every stroke. The ball is constantly coming off the putter face in the direction of the face angle. For some reason this takes the swing path out of the equation for me. So this works with putting too in case you had not tried it with a student. Mr. Sargent there is so much golf instruction noise on the internet out there. Sifting through it to find the real gems is sometimes/always difficult. But this, this is the "KING DADDY TOPPER!"

Big results today Don! I had a 74 with three birdies. My new stronger grip is giving me much more distance. Drove it to the top of the hill on 12 and on 13 I had 105 left. More work to do but it’s sure is fun! Thanks!!

"Sarge on range after 2nd round of q-school it clicked in. I freaking got it, finally!"

Since our 2 lessons, I’ve had a 78, 79 and today, a 76 on OSU Scarlet.

I took a lesson from you back in early August and you quickly put the fun back into my game (I had been really struggling all year). I feel like I have my favorite hobby back and I can’t tell you how much fun it has been to play good golf again. I will definitely be back often!

Thanks so much for your help this morning. Shot 73 this afternoon, hit 13 greens and burned the edge on 5 other putts! Didn’t miss a single drive left either. Feeling confident again and just wanted to let you know much I appreciate your help.

I strongly believe in ongoing instruction and have taken lessons from dozens of teaching professionals. Don Sargent is one of the best teachers I know. He thoroughly understands the golf swing and communicates simple solutions to fix any issue. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to improve their game.

Sarge has been a tremendous influence in my teaching career and personal game. The knowledge that he brings to the table is unprecedented and backed up by his list of clients.

Parker Reeves, Assistant Golf Coach James Madison Univ.

Thank you my friend! Just shot 3 under at NACC. First time breaking par! Owe it to you. Only missed 3 fairways!

Sarge has been an integral part of both of my sons development in competitive junior golf. His teaching philosophy, rooted in fundamentals, builds upon a student's natural swing. Sarge is the "go-to" teacher for elite junior golfers in Central Ohio.

Scott Miller, Father of Dalton and Miles

I have been working hard on keeping the club square and played yesterday. Although I shot 73, I hit the ball the best in years. The ball is coming off the face with more power and control than I can remember. Thanks again for your help!

Dave Smith, Indiana, Pa

Your fulcrum thought seem to work immediately for me. My index will probably drop by at least a stroke when the next revision comes out on Monday. I don't think I'm exaggerating one bit when I say this may be one of the best tips I've ever gotten. Thanks again!

A great teacher inspires his student to learn and conveys more than simply the lesson, creates enthusiasm & excitement about the task at hand, he shares his vision about how the lessons will change the student for the positive. Thank you for being a great teacher.
