I've been working with JF as my golf instructor, and he has been fantastic! He's incredibly knowledgeable and quick to identify key areas for improvement. What I really appreciate is how he breaks down solutions in a way that makes perfect sense and are easy to apply at home. His teaching style is patient, encouraging, and always tailored to my needs. Highly recommend him!

Having good results with the recommendations given by JFR.. He is quick to diagnose, but importantly can move you on to a solid fix with appropriate drills and suggestions

Working with J-F has been a real pleasure. We are currently doing a deep dive and rebuilding various parts of my golf swing. J-F is very knowledgeable about the mechanics of the golf swing, but is particularly good compared to former instructors with his ability to articulate his wealth of knowledge in a way that is clear and concise, either in person or through his videos. He immediately recognized that we needed to simplify the process, and piece out the transformation over multiple sequential steps. J-F is very dedicated to the game of golf and teaching and has been very accommodating and generous with his time. I am looking forward in continuing the process with J-F this winter, and transitioning into the new golf season with a better and improved golf game.
