"Without André's help, there
is no way I could be playing
at this level. He instilled in me
confidence, positive self-esteem,
and strong fundamentals of the
game of golf. He is the foundation
of my golf career."
-Lindsey Bergeon
Member, 2007 Div II Nat'l Champs

"My son has improved from
a 120+ stroke beginner to a
high 70s/low 80s golfer with
André’s teaching techniques."
-Braun Graham, M.D.

“I was amazed at the
difference in my swing
with the very first lesson.
Andre broke down my
swing into simple elements
which I could understand.
I recommend him highly.”
John Fain, Owner
Grapevine Communications

You will seldom leave a lesson feeling like you've gotten worse than when you arrived. With our approach, you can expect to develop skills that last and will show up when you go to the course.
When you work with us you can expect to put it all together and see desirable and sustainable changes in your consistency. Having an effective long game and short game during the same round of golf will give you the scoring results that you know are possible.
We respect the value of your time. Many off the exercises, drills, and activities that we prescribe for you can be done at home. These prove to be effective and absolutely impact the way you play when you go to the course.
If you believe you have the talent to take your game to the next level, you most likely do. We understand the mental game as well as anyone and will show you how to take your range game to the course.
For those of you that play competitively, you've found the coaches that listen to your concerns and can relate to them. We will help you to define your critical needs in order for you to reach your highest ambitions as a competitive golfer. From there, if you choose to pursue those goals, we will develop the road-map with you and support you each step of the way.

Keep It Simple - the basic fundamentals reveal so much. Grip, stance, posture, and alignment are the foundation of the golf swing. It is necessary to understand them, work on them, and continually check them throughout your golfing days. Remember, 95% of the errors stem from poor fundamentals.
Getting Into Your Shoes- studies reveal that students learn best once they experience that the teacher can relate to their issues and concerns. After questions and answers are exchanged between the coach and client, an outline for the lesson is verbally explained. This gets us on the same page from the start and sets the tone for optimum learning.
Bottom Line Results- your satisfaction is our guarantee. With results comes satisfaction. We define excellence as a comittment to completion and are confident that we can coach you to successful completion of your goals.
"Labor of Love"- We love to coach and know the benefits when the student enjoys the process of learning. The atmosphere can range from being serious to being amused. There always needs to be some room for a little bit of laughter. Enjoying the process lends itself to a domino effect of less tension or stress, more relaxation, lighter grip pressure, better feel, better tempo, and better shot making over-all.

You Are Unique And That Is How We Coach You– Everyone is different in every way so we approach each student in a personalized manor. Your swing is naturally yours and yours alone, similar to a signature or a thumb print. No two golfer's swing, natural talent, learning speed, thought pattern, physical strength or flexibility is identical. Hence, everyone will have a different learning experience and some solutions for one client may be different than that of another.
Different Strokes For Different Folks- Some like to be challenged and some don't. Some like to be held accountable, some don't. Some want to be competitive, some don't. Some want to be sociable, some don't. Some are analytical, some are artistic. Some want to feel it, some want to see it, some want to hear it, and some want to read it. Depending on what makes you who you are will determine how we approach your learning experience and design your roadmap.
When We Are With You, We’re With You- We will never take a call-waiting while on the phone with you. In the same respect, we DO NOT answer calls during lessons with you. You are the priority for us. We know the value of service and the personal touch so we focus on being available for your call. We aim to eliminate automated systems and answering services so that we can answer your calls in person. Returning client emails is a must and is completed daily by 10am.

André and Jacques Panet-Raymond are both PGA Master Professionals, and combined, these brothers have over 40 years of teaching experience. André and Jacques are in an elite group (less than 100) of PGA Professionals who have graduated from the highest levels of teaching curriculum provided by the PGA. Both have been rated as Top 50 Teachers in the country and have received PGA Teacher Of The Year Awards by their peers. Very few programs in the country have more than one instructor with such accolades.
Jacques adds his successful professional playing experience (over 20 professional wins) to their distinctions and Andre adds his graduate level education in psychology. In conjunction with nationally recognized psychologists, Andre and Jacques developed a valid and reliable assessment for measuring a golfer's knowledge, performance procedures, and mental attributes.
The coaching process developed by Andre uses the wisdom of fundamental learning principles. It has proven to be successful with their students of all calibers ranging from beginners to tour winners. Regardless of the individual learning styleds, needs, desires, or idiosycrasies, the five step process is reliable for producing results.
