Students Say
“
What was the most helpful part of the school?
Simple, clear, uncomplicated instruction with great take-aways that allow me to recover from swing failure nearly immediately.
What was the biggest disappointment?
That golf could be taught with simple, clear uncomplicated instruction. The realization that improvement rests solely on the shoulders of the player.
How did your game improve after attending the school?
I have a swing that will last a lifetime and method for self arrest that can be employed at will. Jay’s simple, no-nonsense approach requires discipline, not magic. When my score goes up, it stays up until I break things down, according to plan, and find the flaw. And it always comes back.

Dr. Jay:
I call you Dr. because you cured my very poor excuse for a golf swing. I want to thank you again for a very enjoyable 3 days of instruction and conversation. When I got back to work, numerous people asked about the school and if I thought it helped. I can’t say enough good things about this experience. Now everybody wants to go play with me to see the results. Again, thank you. I loved it!

Just a note to let you know that Scott and I are enjoying the benefits of our 4 days with Jim in Phoenix. We both agree that the set of drills Jim described for us to practice as a result of Jim’s in-depth and easy to understand instruction based on his close attention to our capabilities and tendencies is allowing us to “fix” whatever goes wrong during practice sessions. The ability to self-diagnose our individual situations and correct problems without an endless series of “tune-up” sessions with a local “pro” really helps to build confidence. The ability to self-diagnose, plus learning, for the first time, what and how to “practice” have provided the best value I have ever received from investing a “golf dollar”. … Thanks for providing Scott and me the opportunity to better enjoy the game of golf.

Jay. I wanted to take a moment to compliment the Academy and Sharron Moran for the learning experience I had at Crested Butte. Sharron was a very good teacher, and I believe my golf game has improved permanently. I know I have a long way to go, but for the first time I feel like I understand parts of the game rather than just being a ball striker. Like many amateurs, I have played .at. the game for years, but also like most amateurs I think I was mostly just striking balls rather than really understanding and playing the game. Sharron helped me to understand some of the game itself (at least as much as can be done in three days) with such things as to when to go for the pin and when to just get it on the green; when to take your bogey and go on; don.t make a double bogey by following a bad shot with a bad decision; how to recognize the swing mistakes and correct them with some practice drills; understanding the swing adjustments for different lies and ball positions. I believe I will also get a lot of benefit from the .Clear Key. teaching. I enjoyed Sharron.s company as well as her instruction.
The Club at Crested Butte was a great facility. The course is beautiful and the practice facilities are first rate. Everyone at the Club, members and staff, were very nice and made me feel at home. The town is very unique, and both my wife and I appreciated the small town atmosphere and uncrowned conditions. Although we missed the wild flower festival, there were wild flowers by the thousands everywhere that were easily seen from the roadway.
Overall it was a great experience which I will always remember with good thoughts. Please pass on my compliments to Sharron. Best wishes for the Academy.s continued success.
