He Helped Me Find My Feel Again!
As an ex-college golfer, I found myself having the yips with my driver and chipping. We scheduled 1 session each for both parts of my game and thats all it took for him to fix my yips. I’m a feel-oriented golfer and he was able to hone in on that quickly.

He Has Me Loving The Game!
After having taken a year’s worth of lessons with others in the Tulsa area, I was introduced to Jon. After a few sessions with Jon, I realized I had wasted a lot of money with the others. Jon taught me drills that helped me feel the way my swing should feel and teaches in a way that I understand. Jon is a great guy, fun to spend time with and has me loving the game of golf. I had been frustrated and thinking I would ever be a good golfer. Not anymore.

Extremely Good Coach
I will start by saying I am very new to the game of golf! I came into golf galaxy to buy a new driver, and ran into Jon while shopping, and he told me he is the golf instructor, I decided it would be much more worth it to take some lessons! I signed up for a 10 pack of lessons, and haven’t looked back. Jon is an extremely good coach, making it very easy to feel comfortable as a novice, and also keeping it light and always having a good laugh. I have just completed my fourth lesson with Jon, and every time I play with my friends they always comment on how much better I am playing and how much better my swing looks every week. If you are looking for a coach that will keep you excited to learn, you have found the guy. I would recommend lessons with Jon to any and every golfer that is looking to improve, or understand how a golf swing works!

Keeping it Personal
I was really struggling with my golf game, to the point I considered giving up the game completely. After the 1st personalized session my game showed improvement . Over subsequent sessions Jon has corrected swing flaws and helped me to identify and self diagnose errant shots. All aspects of my game are better and still improving from the tee-box to green.

He is fun to Work With!
’ve been working with Jon since June 2023 and have experienced a marked improvement in my golf swing and game since then. He is fun to work with, illustrates concepts in a fashion that is easy to understand and reinforces the teachings with swing evaluation using Trackman. I especially liked the way he started from where I was at rather than building a new swing from the ground up and in this way, I was able to more immediately enjoy my progress on the course.
