Testimonials

Just want to thank you for this ‘tip’ I’ve always tried to figure out the right elbow knowing it must be ‘tucked’ but didn’t always work.. You’re analogy of a ‘Race’ to beat the hands was perfect. Went to the range and worked on it and results were impressive..Not sure how much more distance i got but my contact was solid and the dispersion much tighter with a really nice ‘mini draw. with the irons. Metals resulted in a gentle fade at the end ( I’ve always been a ‘draw’ hitter and wanted to incorporate a slight fade). Thanks again ‘Doc’…My regards to San Diego..have a ‘fish taco’ on me…

John is an incredible golf instructor! I had such a great lesson with him–he’s not only knowledgeable but also super encouraging and easy to work with. He broke things down in a way that made sense, and I saw immediate improvements in my swing and confidence.

He used video feedback, provided clear reference materials, and even sent detailed notes after the lesson. I left feeling excited and motivated to keep improving. If you’re looking for a golf coach who’s professional, thorough, and genuinely enjoyable to learn from, John is your guy!

I’ve always been self-taught and gave up the game up for a long time took it back up a couple of years ago. I was able to get my swing back for the most part but then I started to really struggle. I never had a formal lesson in my life until I met John. His knowledge and experience with the golf swing has helped me tremendously to where in a short period of time he had me hitting the ball a lot better than ever. He will definitely get me to where I would like to be as far as the level of my game I’m trying to achieve. He is definitely the teacher that can get that done 100%. I have referred a couple of other gentlemen both at totally different levels of their game and he has helped them as well. If you’re looking for a truly professional teacher look no further John Marshall. He IS the man.

Hi John, Thank you for the feedback. I also greatly appreciate the videos with commentary. Super helpful! I have a few specific things to work on which is what I was hoping to get out of the lesson. Really enjoyed it and appreciate your input. Thanks again.

Hi John. When I came to you for an initial lesson last week I was ready to throw in the towel. I had lost an incredible amount of distance and the accuracy portion of the equation wasn’t much better. Short and crooked is not a fun way to play golf. Within minutes you showed me how to stabilize the clubface from set-up to follow through which had me hitting it exactly where I was aiming. Then you explained how power is created through rotation and not lateral motion. Not only was I hitting some of the longest shots of my life but the swing seemed so effortless and easy on my body. All of a sudden I’m excited about playing golf again. Can’t wait for or next session to keep taking my game to the next level. Thanks SO much.

I’m a brand new beginner to the game, and at 45 I have no idea what the heck I’m doing. John was able to give me clear and concise instructions in an encouraging manner while not overwhelming me. I feel like my fundamentals are already stronger, and most importantly, I was able to go back to the driving range a couple of days later and reproduce the same results I generated in the lesson. I would absolutely recommend John for new golfers or for those looking to improve their game.

John has improved my game GREATLY. The lessons are fun and he is a great coach. He is incredible at identifying both small details you are missing as well as larger issues that are more apparent.

Anyone looking to putt, hit straight shots, improve driver distance, or anything in between – John is your guy.

I took a lesson yesterday from John Marshall, on his trip to California. I am a 10.9 handicap and have been studying the golf swing for over 35 years. I know a lot about the swing, but didn’t know that some of the things I ‘knew’ just are not true or at least don’t work well for me.

John was able to identify my errors, and explain why they caused what they did, then showed me how to fix them, all in just over an hour.

Drove from the lesson to a golf course and shot one of the best rounds of my life, 2 over on the front and even par on the back for a 74! Didn’t hurt that my putting was on, with only 26 putts.

I have had a few golf lessons in my life, two even from Mike Austin himself, and I have never been able to take the lesson to the golf course and see immediate improvement like I did yesterday.

If you are looking to improve your golf game, I highly recommend seeing John Marshall for a lesson. It will be well worth it for you.

Hi John,
That was an amazing lesson. Thank you so, so much for your help! You truly are worth your weight (or, better yet, MY weight) in gold.
You are a natural teacher, and you have given me two simple but key concepts to focus on…well, three…I can keep those three things in mind and I know the results will be encouraging. I know I still have some work to do, but you have given me great tools with which I can extricate myself from the rut I have been in.
I will update you after my outing tomorrow!

Thank you a hundred times over!
Best regards.

Hi John,
I REALLY enjoyed being with you these past the days. I held off taking lessons because the golf instructors available to me in Milwaukee just didn’t measure up. Not to mention I’m frugal if I don’t see value. You, John, are everything I hoped for and then some!!!
Your golf knowledge and honesty with Austin swing mechanics is priceless. But more than that, your way of communicating concepts is the best I’ve ever been around.
I am glad to have met you and hope to continue learning from you and seeing you again in person.
Stay well and I wish you the best!!!
