Anthony LaRocca

Testimonial:

Eric was a pleasure too work with. When I started my lessons my swing was over the top and I was slicing the golf ball. Eric gave me some drills and check points in my swing to help me over come that easily.

Jim Melleno

Testimonial:

I have never played golf before and wanted to learn the fundamentals from a true professional before I attended corporate events. Eric was fantastic and understood exactly what I was looking for.
