http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30106198Golf lesson
Have been playing golf for several years and unfortunately started w/o lessons and developed a host of bad habits. Could feel the difference in just one lesson from Tom and am very hopeful of making a marked improvement in my game with more lessons and practice. Tom is very incisive and patient and I would strongly recommend him to any one that wants to improve his/her golf.

http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30106198Great Lesson - Valuable Feedback
Just had a lesson with Tom and could not have been more pleased. Great personality and made understanding suggested improvements easy to remember. I agree with an earlier review - learned more in one hour than I could have ever learned from the range or videos. Worth every penney!

http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30106198Very pleased
I had a great lesson with Tom. I've taken lessons before from others, but wanted to see what else was out there. Tom used video to breakdown my swing and educate me on what I was doing right & wrong. Not only was it informative, but I left with specific drills to work on that will help my swing. Very much worth my time!

http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30106198One of the best
After completing one lesson with Tom I was impressed with his ability to recognize my swing faults and provide clear advice on how to begin repairing my swing. I would recommend Tom to anyone who wants to improve their game.

http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30106198Very helpful and informative
Met with Tom to get help with hitting fairway woods and long hybrids, Tom has the ability to explain the golf swing so that the student can understand and apply what is needed to improve his or her swing, Tom does not over load the student with to many things at once, Best session I have had with any instructor. Thanks Tom.

I have met with Tom and he has helped me to identify my issues very quickly. Best of all, he spoke my language (not all coaches communicate well with women). I have been out on the course and I am seeing immediate results. Thanks Tom, I would highly recommend you!

http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30106198First Coaching Session with Tom Donaldson
This was NOT my first time being coached in golf but I will tell you that it was one of the better ones. Tom has a delivery of information and a good line of questioning which allowed me to find more than one "aha" moments. I am now comfortable with knowing where the club-face is at the top, working on trying to establish even a little transition and concentrating on my ball position. A very nice experience which I will be continuing with. Thanks Tom

http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30106198Awesome lesson
I have taken lessons before locally but never seemed to get better. Tom was very specific about what I needed to work on regarding my swing. The thing I enjoyed the most was his explanations of what I needed to improve on. For the first time, I understand why I haven't been getting better. Stop wasting time on the range, go see Tom if you want to improve!

I met with Tom for a lesson and it was very enjoyable. I was somewhat worried at first since I'm a beginner and don't play very well. Tom was very patient and taught me a lot about my swing and what I needed to work on. I've already scheduled two more lessons!

I met with Tom for an hour lesson. It took him little time to see all the problems with my game. By the time he was done with me, I went from swinging out of my shoes to a smooth swing and gained distance. Highly recommended!

9 yr old grandson actually had the lesson. Tom handled it very well as our grandson has a long ways to go. Tom offered some basic swing thoughts for him to work on that weren't overly complicated. Great experience!

http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30106198So informative
I've been at the driving range for the past two years and have been on the course a few times but have never had formal lessons - and it showed. Tom showed me the core pieces to improving my swing and detailed all the practice drills I could use to make the swing second-nature. He even went over the allotted time. At the end of the day I now know what I should be aiming for in terms of my swing. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Tom was very knowledgeable about diagnosing the problem with my swing! He gave me some advice about fundamentals and showed me some practice techniques to use at home when I’m not near a course or driving range. Excellent instructor!

I'm a 57 yo golfer who has never had a professional lesson before. I was a bit apprehensive but relieved when Tom didn't overwhelm me with changes. He studied my swing and made some suggestions and he took the time to explain the cause and effect of the suggestions. Looking forward to practicing.

I drove 45 miles to see him and will do it again. Tom was able to teach me more in an hour than I ever thought possible. His instruction methods are simple, concise and effective. I wish I had gone to him years before.

Tom was excellent! I am a knowlegable golfer with a decent amount of experience of the game. However, I was struggling with my drivor, slicing it w not much distance. Within a hour, Tom had corrected the problem and I was hitting the ball straight about 250 yds consistently. Thanks again Tom!

I am a complete beginner and wasn't sure what to expect. I left the lesson with confidence to pursue golf as a new hobby. Tom is a gifted teacher who I plan to visit with again once I've mastered my homework.

I was amazed by what I learned in my lesson. Tom showed me exactly what was causing my issues and the rest is history. I can't believe how much time I wasted at the range trying to "work it out" on my own. I highly recommend Tom!

Tom was able to quickly identify several problems with my swing, and gave me excellent tips for improvement. He seemed to be very knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in improving my game. A few days after my lesson I was able to hit the middle of the fairway on 6 of 7 drives during a 9 hole round of golf. Thanks Tom!

I have played competitive golf for the last few years ever since graduating college. I played on a very competitive golf team and had a great coach. However, Tom has shown me things about my swing I never knew. This guy knows what he's talking about and can help fine tune any swing!

Tom showed me exactly what I needed to do to fix my swing. I've been having problems for some time now and couldn't figure it out. It seemed like whenever I'd try something new it created a whole new problem. Tom used slow motion video to isolate my issues and explained what to practice. My swingh has been great ever since!

My wife talked me into , getting a golf lesson, from Tom. I was perfectly fine hitting the ball FLAT footed, NOT turning my hips,& CRANKING UP with all my might. SSSoooo,,, imagine my surprise, when I started to hit a 7 iron 125 yards. This is without turning my forearms black & blue. I can`t wait until I play golf with my friends... Tom is an excelent golf teacher.. I will highly praise him , to all my friends.

I've been hitting a slice for over ten years. I've also taken lessons from several different people over the last six years. I learned more about my swing in one hour with Tom than all of my previous lessons combined and I don't hit a slice anymore. Thanks Tom!!!!!!

http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30106198Well worth the time
I always thought golf lessons were for the guys at the country club. I was wrong, they're for anyone that wants to get better. Tom took a few video's of my swing and sent them to me with his analysis. I can actually understand why I hit a slice all the time. Tom also gave me a few drills to work that have been great. My scores are getting better and I don't lose as many ball anymore.

I've been taking lessons for years and always wondered why I wasn't shooting better scores. I understand my swing much more than I ever did since my lesson with Tom. He outlined exactly what to work on and it's been a tremendous help. I actually know what I should be practicing instead of wasting my time at the range.

My husband has been trying to teach me for the past three years. It's hardly been enjoyable, but I thought it would get better. We both decided it would be better to see a professional. Tom is just that! His attitude about teaching is wonderful and he has the patience to go along with it. Thanks Tom.....

I delayed playing golf till I was 45 and thought I could teach myself the game. After two years of scores that a bowler would be proud of; I decided it was time to takes some lessons. I worked with Tom using his video analysis it was great. Tom was able to explain where I needed improvement in a way that made perfect sense. He has a great sense of humor and yet professional. I would highly recomend Tom to anyone of any age.

Took the Skills Analysis lesson with Tom and feel that it will be very beneficial to improve my score. What I feel will help me most is the chipping and putting info. Can't wait to play to use my new knowledge.
