Testimonial:

Nofiu is an outstanding golf instructor. He observed and listened to me, using video to capture flaws in my swing. He demonstrated correct techniques with clear instructions.

Michael Ziebron

Testimonial:

I found myself stuck and asked for a "tune-up" recently. It took him just a few swings of mine to notice I had formed a couple of bad habits and once he spotted them and helped me correct them.

Barry Rodenberg, Morgan Hill, CA

Testimonial:

I've taken several golf lessons from various professionals over the years but have never been as satisfied as I've been with Mr. Akano. He explains the reasons behind each part of his instruction; the club, ball, and position of the body.
