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.

Working with JF has been a game-changer for my golf game. He used his TPI certification to pinpoint my physical limitations and developed custom plans to work around them, ensuring every swing adjustment feels natural and effective. What I love most is how he uses technologylike video analysis and launch monitorsto back up every change with data, so I always know exactly why were making adjustments. He doesnt just stop at lessons either; he follows up with personalized drills and checks in regularly to see how Im progressing. His supportive and encouraging approach makes the process enjoyable, and the results speak for themselves. If youre looking for a coach who truly cares about your success, JF is the one!

Jean-François has a keen eye for detail. Within just the first few minutes of my lesson he observed key areas for improvement around my posture and rotation of my body. He then filmed me and used the video to show me frame by frame where my positioning was off. Lesson #1 and I went from duffing an 8 iron to hitting straight and improving my striking power by 16%and with a slower, controlled swing! Thanks JF, looking forward to lesson # 2!
