You would think I should know everything about the Mike Austin method since I wrote the book on him (In Search of the Greatest Golf Swing). However, John Marshall has taught me a lot about how to perfect this efficient, powerful swing. First of all, unlike other teachers, he is not in love with hearing himself talk. He doesn’t overload you with information that shows off his expertise while confusing the student. Secondly, he prioritizes the changes he recommends, working from the most basic and important into the finer points. And third, he exudes an air of patience that is essential in making the student feel relaxed. This promotes the best atmosphere in which to learn. I would recommend that golfers at any level take lessons from John. And if you want to see how much John knows, just watch him hit a few balls. You’ll see, hear and sense how solidly he hits the golf ball.

Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable and educational afternoon. You have a keen eye for the finer points of the noticed some small but utterly critical weaknesses in my swing  and, after correction, my ball striking and power improved significantly in no time. I will build upon this through practice. You explained alignment extremely well and now I feel totally confident that my set-up is spot on. I will start using the flat wrist method in my chipping. It was a real pleasure and I’ll keep you apprised of my progress to shoot par and achieve the 300-yard drive. I know I’m already a lot closer to my goals thanks to you!

Thanks for the lesson yesterday.  It was by far the most informative one that I have ever had.  I appreciated your feedback. Most times the instructor tells me all the things that I am doing badly.  However, they fail to mention the good things.  Your positive reinforcement meant a lot.  I am going to the range today to work on what I learned yesterday and play 18 tomorrow.  I know your lesson form yesterday will help me in my development as a golfer.

I recently had a three-hour lesson with John Marshall, and frankly it was the best three hours I have spent with anyone after many years of playing and experimenting with various swing styles.  I have long been aware of the Mike Austin swing, but it remained a mystery to me. There is only so much you can learn from books and tapes. Nothing beats one-on-one instruction with a knowledgeable teacher such as John. In a very short time, he broke the swing down into just a few simple motions. I was amazed at the simplicity and how quickly the swing can be de-mystified. I cannot recommend John enough!!

I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to find an instructor in Atlanta that is accredited in the Mike Austin swing method. Taking lessons from John Marshall has helped me immensely. He’s fun to work with, very knowledgeable and extremely encouraging. Each subsequent lesson leaves me with a better understanding of the swing, and there is no doubt in my mind that this method is far superior to all others. I encourage anyone who wants to improve their golf swing to give John a try. You won’t be sorry – and neither will your golf game.

After many years of searching for the perfect swing and coach, I have found both with John Marshall. Using the Mike Austin method taught by John, I am more accurate and longer than ever before. With John’s patience and knowledge of the swing, immediate success has been achieved. I recommend John highly!!

Golf is a difficult game but I have found that the Mike Austin method as taught by John Marshall makes it a whole lot easier. I have always been fairly long but have struggled with accuracy. With John’s watchful eye and terrific knowledge of the golf swing, I have taken my game to a new level and have never enjoyed it more.

I recently took my first lesson with John Marshall who teaches the Mike Austin golf swing. He is one of the best teachers I have ever met. He is a very smart man and a class act as well. He saw me hit a few balls and then asked me if I was sure I wanted to switch because he thought what I was doing looked very good. How many golf teachers do you know who would have done that knowing that I might never come back for another lesson? He really cares about helping his students. He spent over two hours with me and would not take any additional money. He also e-mailed me a summary of everything we discussed for me to study. I have never had any teacher do that. If you really want to learn the Mike Austin swing method I would suggest calling John as he is an exceptional instructor.

I had the pleasure of taking lessons from John for two days learning the “21st Century Golf Swing.” John's knowledge and instruction were excellent, explaining and demonstrating things in a simple understandable manner. John's lessons enabled me to consistently hit accurate and long golf shots like I have never hit before. With practice of this swing, I think I can take my golf game to the next level. As a CPA, John's lessons are an excellent investment that will provide you a handsome return on investment for your golf game. I look forward to having John as a coach for a long time.
