"Dear Mr. Bishop,
I have played golf for the last eight years. Last year, inexplicably, my handicap began to dramatically rise. I came to the conclusion that maybe golf was no longer something I wished to continue. My husband persuaded me to take a few lessons before I gave up something I used to love.
I live at Legend Trail so I enrolled in the John Jacobs Three Day Golf School. Am I ever glad I did. The instruction was personalized in every detail. The instructors picked up on my bad habits right away. A few, small changes in my swing was all I needed. By the end of the first day I had increased my drives by forty to fifty yards. I had never been able to chip. Guess what? I am a great chipper now. Within four weeks my handicap index has gone from 36.5 to 31.4. That's in four weeks!
I recently attended the one day workshop to refresh my memory on some of the finer points. The next day I went out and shot an 88! That's not bad for a 59 year old woman!
Your instructors are the best thing about your program. They are personable, upbeat and extremely helpful. I like them so much that I plan to attend a one day workshop every month until my handicap hits 20 which I know I can do.
Thanks to John Jacobs, I love golf again. It is much more fun to play when you are good!!"

"Wanted to write and say the quality of the instruction that we had during our golf school was excellent. Our instructor was one of the best we have ever experienced. His professional approach, his demeanor and his ability to work with multi-generations is a credit your school. I will recommend your school to all my golf friends."

"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the short-game school at Hillcrest Golf Club. The instructors were exceptional and I have already had 4 sand saves in 3 rounds of golf! Thanks again for exceeding my expectations."

"I want to personally thank the staff at Red Mountain Ranch Country Club. Without everyone's personal involvement and skill in arranging the trip from Ireland to the US, this memorable experience would not have taken place. Please convey my sincere thanks to Shelby Futch and Paul for their support and enthusiasm shown to us on that very special Ryder Cup day. My thanks also to Bill, who was very personable and friendly to us. RMR is a truly magnificent golf course and it was opportune for us to play it on. Thank you again! It was truly an enjoyable time."

"I attended one of your 3-day schools with my son and wanted to let you know how our games have dramatically improved. I came to the school shooting in the low - mid 90's, with an infrequent round in the upper 80's. After the school and with a little practice, I now consistently shoot in the 80's, with 2-81's! Scoring in the 90's is now uncommon. I am so pleased with the improvements in my game. My son made his high school golf team and has actually posted 2 scores in the upper 70's. Our instructors are to be credited with providing the skills and confidence to improve our game. I'm thrilled and look forward to attending another Jacobs program next year."

"I attended your golf school in Vass, SC and I wanted to express how superb the instructor was. He had a knack for making the golf swing a lot simplier than it is usually presented. This was my third Jacobs' School, and it built upon fundamentals I had learned from previous instruction. Thank you for having such a great instructor on your staff and giving me the opportunity to learn from such a professional."

"I was a student at Poppy Hills and wanted to pass along my thanks to my instructor and John Jacobs Golf School. His teaching style was very effective, well paced and most importantly, it worked! I now have a golf swing that contacts the ball squarely. I practice every day and apply what my instructor taught me. He's a wonderful teacher and an all around good guy. I'm very happy with your school and the cost was well worth it."

"Both myself and my golfing partner are truly appreciative of the wonderful instruction we received at the John Jacobs School in Palm Springs & Victoria, BC. We intend to continue with this great experience by attending another John Jacobs' Golf School in the spring. A good golf game has become a reachable goal by the care and delightful approach of our instructor. Many thanks."

“I recently attended your golf school at Hershey, PA with my two sons and I wanted to let you know how much we all enjoyed our experience. Even though we are golfers of very different abilities, our instructor was able to tailor his instruction to help each one of us tremendously. Thank you so much for the excellent school.”

"Recently I attended your summer sizzler golf school, and in all the years that I have played golf and had various lessons, never have I been more excited about the game of golf! Kudos to the John Jaobs Golf program, and especially to the instructors for making my golf school an exceptionally rewarding one! I look forward to taking another school session in future."

"My husband and I recently attended our fourth session with you (over a thirty year period!). We were hoping at age 70 - to pull our swing together, one more time! We had a wonderful time in your San Diego session - and as always, we experienced the same good basics we've come to expect from your schools. The instructor was patient and his ability to teach and communicate are exceptional - exceeded only by his thoughtfulness and concern that we have a good experience. Just wanted to write to express our appreciation for his efforts."

"Thank you for the 5-Day School my wife and I attended at Painted Mountain. I finished last season as a 15 handicap - my season average was 92. After returning from our school, I've seen my scores drop and keep dropping. Thanks to all your staff who helped me at the school. We had a great time at the school and we loved the great foods and facilities and are ready and anxious to come back next spring. Just wish we didn't have to go through another Alaska winter to get there!"

“My son and I enjoyed the golf school immensely – it was better than any golf school or lesson I’ve ever had.”
Len Cason

“No other golf school has ever been able to teach me pitching and chipping the way John Jacobs’ did. In fact, I not only pitched my ball, I did it 35 yards from the green! It felt so incredible to learn something, and actually be able to do it properly.”

“What a well run school! I have been playing for 30+ years and my wife has just taken up the game. She is very enthusiastic about playing as she gained a great deal of “understanding.” I got the help I was looking for and we do plan on attending a school every year.”
Jack Stewart

“Your instructor was not only able to quickly diagnose our predominant swing problems, but helped us begin correcting them. He also provided us with an understanding of the nature of the problem so that we will be able to continue to work on our games alone in the future.”
William M. Keane

“Our experience at your commuter class gave us the confidence and expertise to figure out how to break old bad habits and really teach us the “fundamentals" of the different golf shots. Your teaching staff went way beyond my expectations. You should be very proud of them.”

“Barb got a hole in one at your golf school at Indian Palms Country Club. Eddie Jones was the instructor. It was a great school!”
Barb Seabaugh

"I recently attended your school in Indio, California. The school was very helpful. I was particularly impressed with your instructor Eddie Jones. I've had several golf instructors during my golfing days but Eddie was superior to any of them, by far. You are fortunate to have him as an employee. I would certainly return to a school where he is teaching in the future."

"I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I enjoyed the Jacobs Golf School at Sanctuary in Scottsdale. Todd Hinne and Stan Ferguson were wonderful teachers and managed to help everyone even though the level of golf skill was quite different for each student. After six months hiatus from golf during winter in the Colorado mountains, golf school is a great way to get going again. I'm ready to come back!!!"

"After attending your school at Painted Mountain, I came home and played my home course yesterday. I shot a 87, which is my best round ever. For a 23.5 handicapper, quite a thrill. Please pass along my thanks to the staff at Painted Mtn."
John Jameson

"My girlfriend and I just returned from a great weekend school at Findley Lake, NY. Our instructor was able to show us what we needed to do to play better... He gave us each a boost in our enthusiasm for golf, and the capability to sustain it. We are delighted!"

"I attended your school at Whisper Creek in Huntley, IL. The golf teacher was everything you could want! I learned more about the golf swing and flight of the golf ball than I learned in playing golf for 30 years. Thanks for such a fine instructor."
Chuck Grelck
Chicago, IL |
"I just wanted to thank John Jacobs’ Golf School for the wonderful service and the best golf experience! I learned more from instructor in 3 days than I have in the 30 years I have been playing and taking lessons. The group I scheduled for the school shares my sentiments. We are already talking about repeating the school."
Kline Barry

"I recently attended your golf school school in Missouri and I did enjoy the school tremendously. The instructor did a fantastic job! I'm a complete beginner and his instructions were very clear and understandable. The entire program delivered more than I ever would have expected. I would recommend your program to anyone that seriously wants to improve their golf. The resort location was great for my wife too. She's a non-golfer but had plenty to keep her occupied. We're already talking about where to go next year. Good job and thanks."
