Their user-friendly philosophy is what’s so appealing to me. I’ve been around a lot of golf philosophies and Golf Made Simple’s is truly very simple, even for the low handicap golfer. I go to the school three to four times a year to keep my handicap in the single digits. Marc’s enthusiasm and belief in the system is very refreshing. A lot of times instructors are just going through the motionsâ?¦ it’s different with Golf Made Simple."

About Golf Made Simple
The philosophy of Golf Made Simple is what you would expect – simple. Prior to Golf Made Simple, most golfers have 13 different swings for the 13 woods and irons in their bag, which is complicated to keep consistent. Golf Made Simple believes in one swing that is different for each individual, but works for all 13 clubs. A results-based approach to golf instruction measures a golfer’s success right away. Golfers are taught to move their whole body in one fluid motion. There is no focusing on one body part, so there is less compensation and more consistency. Pro golfers don’t take 60 minute golf lessons once a week that are crammed in between work and family with no time for practice. Pros fly to their coaches for 3-5 days of intense instruction and then keep in touch on their progress via email and phone calls. The nationally recognized PGA professional, Marc Solomon and his staff lead four person classes for a customized experience. Golfers can take 3, 5 and 7-day classes in San Diego, CA, St. Augustine, FL, Amelia Island, FL, and Tampa, FL. Their Instructor For Life program guarantees that each golfer can always contact their instructor for free customized advice, tips, drills and exercises – for life. "92% of golfers who come to Golf Made Simple looking to break 90 for the first time have been successful in reaching their goal!" It’s Golf Made Simple.
