WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“I’m fortunate to work with Matthew Palmer, PGA.  Matthew has a keen eye for swing/body mechanics.  He works incrementally to introduce and develop specific movement patterns that improve my swing.  This was especially helpful with chipping and putting.  When my full swing gets glitchy, he can quickly look at it and present suggestions for adjustments that we implement, that make sense and that I practice.  Nothing happens overnight…it takes many repetitions to own change.  What I value most from working with Matthew is that he customizes his instruction to my needs and my goals, truly individualizing each lesson.  His guidance and positive reinforcement help me own an efficient and repeatable swing and improve my confidence as a player on the course.  That’s where the magic happens!”
