I just returned from the 3-day golf school in Phoenix. I wanted to let you know that my experience was FANTASTIC! It exceeded all expectations. Shirley Furlong was my instructor. She was phenomenal. She explained and re-explained when needed. She had a great balance of serious golf skill instruction and goofing around and just having fun. Shirley had some club changes for me and even let me use her equipment during the school. She was flexible and accommodating to what we wanted to learn but made sure we covered the skills we needed. I learned things I had no idea I needed to learn. Shirley was amazing! The practice facilities were perfect. From the driving range to the bunkers and putting greens – it was all great. The endless supply of water was also greatly appreciated! The staff at the Wigwam was the nicest staff I have ever experienced. Literally every person we came in contact with was wonderful – from in and around the pro shop to the main resort staff. All we had to do was mention we were there for Bird Golf School and they knew exactly what we needed to do and where we needed to be. I can’t say enough about how friendly and helpful everyone was during our stay. The whole experience from start to finish was fantastic. I couldn’t be more impressed with Shirley as an instructor. And as a person, she was just fun to hang out with. I can’t wait to come back.Stacey

Bobby was just fantastic. A great guy and an amazing teacher; someone who was able to simplify concepts so they would stick. He was so friendly and he clearly has an immense passion for the game. He made it fun to learn and I could tell that he really wanted to see us improve. And the facilities were first-rate.John

My experience with Bird Golf was fantastic! My instructor Craig Smith was the perfect coach for me. He was patient, kind, extremely helpful and really knew his stuff! He made everything easy and simple for me to understand and my swing/shots began to improve on the first day. He also taught me how to read my shot pattern and what adjustments should be mad to improve. I also learned short game and putting techniques that are simple and really work. I can’t wait until the weather breaks in Michigan so I can hit the course. I can’t say enough about Bird Golf and my instructor Craig Smith. What a kind gentleman and a great overall experience!Adwhitt1007 W.

Greg, a sincere thank you for all the great work you did with me at Bird Academy Golf School last week at Old Corkscrew in Florida. As we discussed I was a somewhat casual golfer during my work days and raising a family. That meant getting out about 6-8 times a year to golf was sometimes a very good year! In the past few years I joined a golf league that got me out at least once per week with some limited practice. After having retired in the past year at the young age of 68 (!?!) I am committing more time to becoming a better golfer. Coming into golf school, I had convinced myself that I didn’t need to try and swing and play like a pro or try to get more distance – too old for that. I just needed to make some tweaks to my swing and game and be more consistent. After actually seeing my swing and listening/learning from your professional coaching I’ve changed that mantra. I’m excited and committed to some changes that I expect will significantly improve my game and consistency. I am also a much, much more knowledgeable golfer. Thanks again for your patience, coaching, diligence and friendship during 3 great days on the course!
