Really great coach, easy to get along with and makes you feel really comfortable so it sets up for a really good informative lesson, have gone multiple times and look forward to going back and have improved from each one.

Marcus is an absolutely brilliant coach. He is able to break the complexity of the golf swing down into a series of simple steps. His drills are unique. I leave every lesson feeling thrilled . I simply cant recommend him highly enough!

Great communication and simple but effective advice to help my swing

Marcus was a very nice and talented golfer that showcased supreme technique that could communicate easily. I am a beginner and so he showed the basics and a standing position that I could take under my wing and drills that I can apply at home to train my body to automatically adjust to a controlled and consistent position and swing that helped a lot.
