Testimonials

I worked with David for 4 years as a teenager as I was developing my game. I started my golf career later than most, and David was instrumental in helping me advance my skills. During his time as my private coach, I was able to obtain multiple athletic scholarships in the United States. Specifically, most recruiting coaches gave me offers due to my clean swing and strategic approach to the game, both of which were heavily shaped by David. I ended up golfing for a NAIA university with a scholarship that covered my tuition as well as most of my living expenses. David was an excellent coach that had a positive attitude and was able to change his teaching approaches as I continued to advance in my game. I highly recommend him!

I’ve been swinging a golf club for almost 20 years and last spring I started working with Hap Gill. I can honestly say since having him be my instrutor- that I feel like I’m playing golf with confidence and control! In a few lessons he shaved more than 10 strokes off my game by immediately recognizing some simple mistakes I was making and correcting them. Now every time I swing I follow it with a, “Wow!”

I would strongly recommend Hap Gill to any golfer, from a beginner even up to those who already play well but who still want to get better technically and be more consistent. I now hit the ball further with less effort, and have developed a solid short game.

Can’t wait to get to the next level and with Haps help, I know I will.

So happy to have had the to opportunity to have lessons with Hap Gill over the past few months. I’ve been golfing for the last five years and needed help to improve my game. Hap is an outstanding golf instructor who patiently explains how to play and improve my game. I am 50+ and it’s hard to change old habits. Hap makes learning/relearning how to play easy. I look forward to my club opening and getting out there to practice and play at the course. I definitely know that my game will improve. Thank you Hap for putting up with me and helping me improve my game.

Hap is a great coach and I highly recommend him. Before I met Hap I had decades of bad habits and I was drowning in YouTube videos. Hap used his background in biomechanics to teach me not only how to swing but why those swing changes worked.

Hap is relatable, fun and a great cheerleader. In a relatively short time He has helped me pass my original golf goals. Working with Hap has been the best investment I’ve ever made in my golf game.

Cheers,

Ernie

I’ve had lessons before, but I can say that working with Hap has been the best learning experience for me. I’ve seen improvements in my mental and physical game and have been gaining confidence in all areas. Hap is both professional and approachable and his background in Kinesiology really adds value as well as being fun to work with. My interactions with David have all been positive as well.

Working with Hap has been more than just pure coaching, but I’ve come to view him as a true partner in my golf journey. He’s always been flexible and accommodating. Hap offered me some tips and pointers when looking at buying new gear, and the common ‘traps’ or pitfalls for people trying to cut corners or get better without putting in the right work. Hap has also just been fun to work with. Highly recommend!
