I wanted to let you know that after an up and down golf season at Moravian, Rachel was given the Coach’s Award last evening for leadership. She also was named Captain for the 2011 season. I thought you might be interested since you were her actual coach and gave Rachel the skills she needed to compete in high school golf. She couldn’t have done this without your guidance and expertise so a portion of these awards are a reflection on you!

Take it from this 43 year old golf novice that spent 25 years of his life reading books, watching videos, buying training gimmicks and listening to friendly advice while never really hitting a golf ball the way it was meant to be hit.
If you want to improve your game, spend your golf money wisely this year with lessons from Mark!!!
In all of my 25 years of golfing, I have never hit a drive even close to 250 yards straight down the middle which I finally did after just one 60 minute lesson and video with Mark. The $100 video lesson well was spent as I could finally SEE and UNDERSTAND my common mistakes as Mark explained them to me in a visually descriptive way like I have never seen before. After watching my video and 20 minutes of posture and swing plane lessons, I hit a couple of drives that I never thought possible, one even past the 250 marker (unless Mark moved the yardage signs closer prior to my lesson...hmm). For someone who struggles hitting his drives 200 yards let alone in the fairway, I was amazed. I have a lot of hard work and practice ahead of me and I miss hit my share of practice shots but for the first time in my golf life, I actually think there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I cannot thank you enough Mark! Maybe golf will actually be fun for me one day soon! If my wife is reading this, lessons make a great Birthday or Christmas present! After all, if Tiger and Phil need lessons, I guess I do too.

Mark is one of the top professionals in the area due to his knowledge of the golf swing, his approach to each session and his ability to breakdown your swing and make the improvements needed. Mark video taped our session and was able to determine that I was keeping all my weight on my back leg after making contact with the ball. After two months of doing drills on my own that Mark recommended I'm playing golf with less back pain and driving the ball with more distance. If you want to improve your game and learn drills to do on your own, I strongly recommend Mark as your instructor.

Hi Mark, its Collin. I was looking around the internet about golf related things and I came across your website. I dont know if you remember me but I got a few lessons from you and was in the junior program for a few years. So I just wanted to inform you that I am one of your success stories. I made Central Catholics team as a freshman and I transferred to Parkland this year. I made their team and improved my game by 20 shots in 2 years. I broke 80 for the time last week and came in 2nd in a tournament at Iron Lakes this past Wednesday and Thursday, shooting 87, 78. I just wanted to thank you for kick-starting my golf career and hope to see you at some point in the future.
Thanks, Collin
Mark,
Thank you so much for all you taught me over the past five weeks. I have to admit I was skeptical coming into the lessons that I would learn anything. After three years of playing I thought I was beyond these lessons. After you pointed out all the things I did wrong with my putting the first week, I knew I was totally wrong. I do not believe I have ever chipped prior to your lessons, and now I’ve realized how often I’ve pitched when I should have chipped. Even tonight, as simple as it was to point out, I never thought about pointing the arrows on the golf ball to where I wanted to hit the ball on the tee.
I love the game and challenge that is golf and I think that I will enjoy it for years and decades to come. But now I have a whole new appreciation and what I feel are a whole new set of weapons to attack the courses that have frustrated me since I started. I'll try to keep in touch as I progress to let you know how things are going. Again, thank you very much for all your help.
Sincerely,
Al T.
Mark,
Thank you for the lesson. Your suggestion of standing more upright and improving my posture was a winner. Thursday, Friday and Saturday I played in my member guest outing and played the most consistent golf of the year. Shot two nines of 41 on Friday and one nine of 43. Saturday shot 40 and 42. My partner and I had the closest to the pin on the par threes both days, and I won one of those as well. 165 yards to a back pin placement, and my eight iron landed 4 inches from the hole, hit the flag and ended up 2' 9" from the hole. The next day I almost hit it in the hole again. My iron play has been much better in both accuracy and distance. Sunday I hit a 5 iron 197 yards to pin high with a wind in my face.
Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your help and guidance.

Mark,
Alex had an excellent playing lesson. (He shot a 79 at Southmore the following day ... Need I say more?)
Thanks for everything.

Mark -
I just want to thank you for the lesson last Saturday. I know you said I might get worse before I get better, but that was not the case. Thursday I played my first round since the lesson and shot 43 on the front and 37 on the back nine missing several birdie putts under ten feet. This was the first time I broke 40 on nine holes in four years. I thought you might enjoy hearing about my short term success.
