"We just completed our first family golf school with Jim McLean's team
at Doral.  The experience was incredible!  We received very
comprehensive one-on-one and group instruction on the range, at the
many special stations and on the course.  The teaching was geared
effectively to the different ages and skill levels of all family
members.  We really enjoyed the skills contests and challenges,
particularly when the kids beat Mom and Dad..  My two sons (ages 12
and 15) described the Family Golf School as "one of the best things we
have done together".  I would highly recommend the experience to any
golfing family - we will be back!"

Jim,
 
I wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you for asking me to be your "hacker boy" at the teaching and coaching summit, one more time. With the drills you and Joey put me through, my ball striking is at a point that I would never have dreamed possible. We have 4 par 5's at Lake Wales Country Club and on most rounds, I'm on at least 2 of them in 2. It is so awesome. I've had Kyle doing the tee drill and his game is getting so much better. He had to post pone his PAT because he had an exam that day. I believe he is taking it in June. He will graduate college in August. The Jim McLean system has worked so good for him.
 
We're coming to Doral in August and September. I hope you'll be in so I can say hey. I've lost a  load of weight walking the golf course about 5 days a week. Gotten stronger. I'm trying to get in the shape I was in when i ran 3 miles a day along with all the other work out stuff we did on the SWAT team.
 
Does hitting the ball on the heal of the club cause a cut? I've started cutting my fairway .

 Dear Jared,

I wanted to thank you and to tell you what a fantastic experience we had for the last 3 days.
The clinic is great, so well organized and extremely professional.  More importantly, the amazing amount of information was delivered by you, beautifully.  It was simple to understand, perfectly sequenced, and demonstrated brilliantly.  Your demeanor, class tempo, and class schedule was perfect.  As far as I'm concerned, you made the clinic the best I have ever seen.  We have many new things to work on, but we are confident that we will be working on the right things.  Again, thank you for all your hard work, good luck in your new home, and my warmest and best wishes to you and your family.

“Dave, we didn’t give our feedback at the resort, but to a person, we thought the school was fantastic and worth more than the money. Chris and John and indeed everyone at Doral were so attentive to us and exhibited perfect professionalism. They were patient with our stupid questions and accommodated us when we showed slightly late and extremely tired each day. The instruction itself was impressive because they were able to tailor the instruction to each one of us while keeping up the major themes. The second day video session was eye opening, and I think all our major flaws were precisely identified and a plan was given to each of us to correct them. Plus, despite their experience and reputation, both Chris and John were so humble and engaging. We all attended one of your competitors several years ago, and the level of care was one standard lower, and you never would have seen the head instructor washing our clubs at the end of school. It made a tremendous impression on us. I constantly saw Chris and John comparing notes and could tell they are both totally dedicated to the art of instruction—to make themselves better to make us better. My only regret is that we’re too far away for frequent follow-up, but we certainly expect to be out there again in the not too distant future. Thanks for all your help and thanks to everyone at Doral generally.”

I just returned from a two day Jim Mclean golf school at the Wigwam in Phoenix, Az. with Jason & Denny. The experience was truly “World Class”. The facility was unbelievable! The swing analysis software and giant view screen in the training station were incredible. They really allowed me to easily focus on the points of emphasis that Jason was concerned with. The final DVD summary to take home was also beyond expectation. I will refer to this often as I continue to progress in my development.

Still, a fine facility and excellent equipment do not make a top level golf school, they enable it. Bottom line is PEOPLE. Denny and Jason made this experience “World Class”! Denny was extremely helpful assisting with my booking and even gave me hotel information!

Jason, my instructor was sensational. His depth of knowledge was unlimited and his ability to convey it in a concise manner astounding. The result of Jason's ability was that he quickly diagnosed my numerous flaws, detailed them to me, and established a plan of action to fix them. By the end of day 1, he had video of me swinging the club in a manner similar to very good players. It is a testament to Jason's exceptional knowledge as an instructor and clarity of presentation, that he could take rubbish like my impact position and transform it into something that looks similar to what I watch on TV, in such a short time. 

This was a tremendous experience. I give my highest recommendation to anyone interested in attending one of your golf schools. I will continue to drive five hours to follow up with Jason at the Wigwam, passing by other well known golf schools here in Las Vegas.

Thank you Mr. Mclean for a World Class experience!

Chris,
 
I attended a conference this week with my employer (Bank of America) at Doral and had some free time on Tuesday evening.  After watching the golf school videos in my room, I decided to book a lesson at 6pm that night.  When I arrived, I met Justin and was extraordinarily pleased with the lesson.  I am a former Navy instructor and now a senior executive with Bank of America, and know quality instruction when I receive it.  Justin was exceptionally patient, listened to my concerns with my game, and then carefully addressed each one.  I have paid for golf instruction previously in Charlotte, NC, but walked away from those lessons thinking I wasted my money.  However, after 2 hours with Justin, I felt like the quality of the lesson and the video analysis really helped my game.  In fact, I played in a tournament this morning and used the set-up lessons I learned on Tuesday night with GREAT success.
 
That said, I was also very impressed with Justin himself.  Polite and courteous, he possesses very polished interpersonal skills and is a credit to your golf school.  Without question, I will be back and attend one of your golf schools very soon as a result of this experience.

Jim,  I know that I didn't get down to see you this past winter but I wanted to thank you for the help on my prior visits. This was my best year in a while, I won the Kentucky Senior Open and the Kentucky Mid-Amateur this summer. I know these are mom and pop events compared to your other players but I am appreciative just the same.

I got home on Thursday and played ten holes this afternoon. I tried to apply the things that we worked on during those three days and I have noticed an improvement in my long game. My shots are now straighter and higher, although the occasional low and left shot is still there, I know confidently I am heading in the right direction. As we all know any swing change takes time and much fine tuning on the part of the player.

You, Christopher, Shannon, Mike Amira and Brian Moore displayed professionalism, dedication and an eye for detail that I always expect from the staff at Jim McLean Golf School. Should I have any questions about my game or interesting stories about golf I will not hesitate to contact you.

Best regards,
Gordon

Hi -

Wanted to send an email to thank you for recommending for me to go to lessons with
Chris Toulson and also for contacting him on my behalf. Jim and I went over to
Doral this week and I had 3 half day lessons with Chris on Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday. All three days were magnificent; I loved it. Chris teaches so much like
you do and I really learneda lot. We fixed my issues I have been having lately and
also took me to the next level. I was so happy after the first day that Jim signed
up with Ryan Scott and took lessons on Tuesday and Wednesday also.

Thanks again for everything; cheers!

Sincerely,

Joan

“I have worked with Adam over the last four years at the Weston Hills facility. He helps my game and my understanding of the game in huge amounts every time I work with him. Because I feel that he is such a better golf instructor than the numerous other instructors I have worked with at other facilities, I have no qualms about traveling from Orlando to work with Adam. In my opinion, Adam and the Jim McLean Golf Academy are second to none for golfers of all levels.”

Dear Chris Toulson-
 
I want to thank you, Marcos, Mark and Glen for all of your efforts to improve our golf games.  I want to compliment you and your entire staff for making us feel welcome and not just another school.  Clearly, you love what you do and all of you are such good teachers.  Everything seemed so simple.  Now I only hope I can carry out and implement your suggestions.  I will definitely be back.
 
Again, thanks for all your help and encouragement.
 
Sincerely,

 Please give Chris, Glen, et. all my best and tell them that even though they taught me all the inner secrets of golf – they have not put themselves out of business just yet and there will probably be something they’ll need to work on with me next year !
 
You guys are the best and the next 350 days can’t go by soon enough !  Year 11 here we come !
 
 

"What a totally delightful, informative, and productive 3 days it was.
 You guys are the consummate professionals in every respect.  It was such fun being with you."
