PLAYER TESTIMONIALS

"Three of us lady golfers attended the three hour short game golf school taught by Skip Malek. We did an hour of chipping and pitching, an hour getting out of the sand and an hour of putting. It was AWESOME. Skip makes the lesson fun and simple. His explanations make sense and can be easily incorporated into any skill level. I walked away with more knowledge and confidence. In fact, the next day I shot my second lowest score ever. I'm going back in the spring."

"I took up the game very late in life and had the good fortune of working with Skip Malek over a two day period last month. I won't kill you with detail, but I learned a lot in such a short period of time and left with insight and skills that will drastically improve my game. Skip is a great instructor with a natural teaching ability that immediately puts one at ease while logically working through steps for game improvement."

"I had the great fortune to work with Skip Malek for three days last week and cannot say enough about how analytical, patient and professional his instruction was. I can honestly say it far exceeded my expectations and, if I am able to integrate all his pointers and lessons then my game will greatly improve. I am already planning a refresher/next level course next fall."
