Students Say

Hi Jay, Just a quick e-mail to let you know what a great weekend we had at Green Mountain National with Greg learning golf. Both Tracy and I found Greg McFee to be a fantastic teacher! He imparted his knowledge to us with patience, compassion and enthusiasm. He helped us with our technique and never gave up on us despite our slow response at times. (LOL!) He gave us extra time all three days with the anticipation of bad weather so we certainly got more than we expected and are that much improved because of his extra effort. And the golf course was just as beautiful as you described! The accommodations were also very cozy and inviting. Most importantly, we had fun and enjoyed quite a few laughs. Thank you again for a great learning experience! Denise Cannon Hains New Paltz, NY Golf school: Vermont

After the wonderful three days we just had in Hammock Beach, it’s difficult to know where to start. Yes we lucked out with the weather and the resort and golf courses were first class but what made it so special for us was Tim! He was beyond great. Nancy and I have different personalities and approaches to learning so I had some trepidation before arriving how things would work out but Tim handled it perfectly. Not only was he a total professional but patient and his way of teaching just moved us forward – we never found ourselves feeling we couldn’t improve – it was all so positive. Nancy is heading to the range tonight to practice; I’m giving my back a rest for a day but ready for my next round at the weekend. We played Conservatory yesterday and I hit 14 of 18 greens in regulation which is totally unlike me and Nancy shot a 92!  We have improved! We will keep in touch with Tim and will absolutely recommend Bird Golf Academy to anyone to improve their game.” Richard and Nancy Peacock Palm Beach, FL Golf School: Florida

Tom and I both thought it was an excellent experience, and that it  has helped our games and will continue to do so.  We enjoyed working with Greg.  He focused on the fundamentals and kept the lessons to the few basic areas that each of us needed to work on.  We’ve both been to golf schools before, and I’ve taken a lot of lessons over the roughly 25 years of playing.  I had a theory in recent years that rather than going to golf school it would be better to spread that money over many lessons, which I think has some truth to it, but in this case I think Greg’s concentrated focus on the basics, reinforced so much over the three days, actually was better than spread out lessons.  I have recommended the Bird school to several friends. Tom’s handicap has dropped a couple of strokes since June.  Mine has dropped only slightly, but I did break 90 for the first time in months, and feel that my long game and short shots around the green are much better, and I’ve eliminated the big scores that led to going to golf school.  We’ve both reached out to Greg once or twice and gotten helpful same day responses. That’s it for now.  We’ll stay in touch with Greg, I’m sure!” Susan C. Newton, PA

Hi Mary, I wanted to thank you again for the excellent three days of golf school last week. Your patience and ability to improve our game while keeping it fun is a true testament to you and the Bird Golf Academy. Here’s a picture of Norm and me on the 18th fairway during our last round of golf with you. As an aside I came back to Key West and played on Saturday with all these thoughts in mind and had my WORST round in many years. I went back today after a little practice and shot my best round EVER (75). Needless to say all my golf friends wanted to know how it happened. I just said “Mary made me do it!” Thank you again and have a great rest of the year.” Kind Regards, Mike Caron Key West, FL Golf School: Florida
