Greetings I am a long time member that would like to inform you on the talent of our assistant pro in teaching the golf swing. Derrick has helped me immensely. I’ve tried many teachers but Derrick outshines them all.

Tommy Goldsmith - Pasadera member

Testimonial:

My wife Anna and I took a 30 minute lesson from Derrick last week. It was really good, my wife really enjoyed it, and now she has the bug to play. He really has a gift in communicating his teaching skills to the learner. I am a fan!

I want to recognize my lessons from Derrick Franks over at San Juan Oaks. He has caused tremendous growth in my golf game in just a couple of lessons. He is knowledgeable and his use of technology to advance people's swing is amazing.
