TESTIMONIALS

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

    John Doty

  • 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.

T.O.M.I Putting System

 

This State-of the-Art system allows the golfer to assess every vital element of their stroke. (path direction, tempo, face aim, angle of attack and ball/face contact). With this diagnosis we can then properly correct the most detrimental elements to poor putting. This exact data is given immediately and empirically. Improvement happens rapidly and right in front of the golfers eyes! Come learn to hole more putts NOW!!!
