I love my lessons with Jerry. He’s a patient and knowledgeable teacher and an all around likable person. He has helped me improve my swing and confidence. I always look forward to a lesson with Jerry.
Jerry has been my golf instructor for the past three seasons reducing my GHIN index from 15 to 6. He understands the ‘feel’ of the game and is an excellent communicator. His approach of making small adjustments and trying different approaches to a problem have been extremely valuable, especially in improving my pitching and chipping. I would recommend Jerry to any golfer who is trying to enhance their game.
Jerry, I want to thank you for helping me with my swing. Since our series of lessons my ball striking has been more consistent and I have been improving. I have taken lessons from other pros, but you get through to me better than anyone has. Thank you!
I am a total newbie. I just thought it would be fun to try something different. I have had a few lessons with Jerry. I was a little nervous at first, but I can always trust Jerry to be patient and understanding. He is probably the calmest person I’ve ever known. At the same time, he is fun and very passionate about the game. No matter how bad my swing is he encourages me. If I don’t get what I’m doing wrong, he will always come up with a new way to approach the problem. He makes me feel confident and seems to believe that I can learn to play golf even when I don’t.
I joined the Connecticut Golf Club in May after a 25 year hiatus from golf and my game was a train wreck. My slice consistently had me playing from the wrong fairway and my hitting distance was substantially off. That’s when I began taking lessons from Jerry. After looking at my swing, Jerry politely asked did I want to tweak my swing or rework it entirely…clearly he knew a full rework was in order. Jerry and I had many lessons together---every one of them was both educational and fun, we had a great time rebuilding my swing. At the beginning of each new lesson it was clear Jerry had thought about our last session and what he could do to help me get over that day’s particular hump. He had great visual aids, teaching tools and coaching insights that were clearly personalized to my way of learning (note, he also taught my son who learned very differently and Jerry adjusted accordingly). Before too long I was consistently hitting straight and my distance was similar to my friends. We then worked on the short game and amazingly Jerry taught me a flop shot which I put to great use at the end of the season. I can’t wait to get back on the course with Jerry next season—it is time to work on my putting…I would highly recommend Jerry to anyone looking to improve their golf game and hoping to have a good time doing so.
Very few teachers are skilled at diagnosing a golfer's swing and then also helping to implement a course of action for improvement. My experience has been that Jerry is first-rate in both areas. My ball striking has been made immeasurably better since I started working with Jerry. Also, he has the necessary communication skills to impart this knowledge to his clients.
