Students Say

I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed the three days we spent together. It was also a pleasure to meet your wife and get to know her a bit. You certainly helped me with my golf game, but also helped me realize there is much more to life than my previous corporate days that just recently ended. I came home with a feeling that retirement is going to be great, rather than the dreadful feeling I had when it started. Your approach to teaching was absolutely fantastic! You showed patience, understanding, experience and overall – kindness. I was very much at ease working with you. Last night, I had some time so I went to the Golf Galaxy by my house. I hit balls for half an hour in the simulator. I hit some of the best irons of my life as well as some not so good. However, even my bad ones were not horrible and I knew what I did wrong after hitting them and then made the adjustment for a much better follow up shot. Also, there were two times where I went back to 101, then 102 and then a nice easy full swing that worked great. I hit the best 6 iron of my life and I was so excited, I took a picture of it to share with you! When it all comes together, it’s like magic! Again, I really enjoyed our time together. You are a fantastic teacher and I learned a ton from you. I want to stay in touch and continue to use your help. I was extremely satisfied with how my trip worked out! Thank you so much!

Another very productive session with Mary over two days at Boca Pointe. Thank you. Mary “sees” everything. And she has 7 decades of experience to advise me how to reduce my swing flaws. Love working with her.  She’s a genuine treasure.

We absolutely loved our experience with Shirley Furlong! Our time with Bird Golf Academy was truly unforgettable because of Shirley Furlong. We absolutely loved her. She is everything you could hope for in a coach and more. Shirley is patient, knowledgeable, kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in her students’ success. She made learning so enjoyable and built our confidence every step of the way. Her ability to explain and demonstrate with such clarity (and humor) made even the most challenging skills feel achievable. You can tell she truly cares about each student’s progress and takes pride in helping them improve. We left our sessions feeling inspired, motivated, and so grateful for her. Shirley is an incredible instructor and an even more incredible person. Bird Golf is so lucky to have her. We could not have asked for a better experience.
