Dear Trill,

JoAnn and I had such a wonderful two days with you. We both felt like you were the BEST golf pro that we have EVER worked with!!! We got so much out of our "train like the pro's" days with you. After analyzing our swings you were able to zone in on what we needed to work on to take our games to the next level. You were so on target with so many great suggestions...we had so many "ah-ha" moments. You are smart, knowledgeable, fun to be with, good at demonstrating and very positive and encouraging. You took our complicated questions and turned them into easily understandable golf information. We loved all your little tricks too..like actually swinging your hands in motion before putting to get the feel going, placing the golf head club head against the golf cart wheel and try to press the club through so we would do that during our swing, like moving our hips from the beginning of the downswing to the follow through. Trill, we thank you for all that you shared with us and we both agree that your teaching skills are exemplary especially for someone so young. We hope to come back next season and do it again with you...You are the bomb...

Thanks again for all of your help and spending so much time with us on the beautiful White Shark course....

Fondly,
Susan and JoAnn
