	"... the best and most visible practice system yet devised. Lower scores are guaranteed when you follow this system of laser and video feedback!"
	"Its difficult to make a bad swing using this system!"
Scott Stradley	After one lesson I hit the ball straighter than I have in years. I was able to feel my weight shift onto my left side on the downswing which was a new experience for me as well. Immediately I began hitting the ball closer to the center of my irons more than I have in a long, long time. I was amazed at the trajectory and the quality of shots I hit. It was worth every minute and I will be coming back for more!
Grady Murphy	I would like to thank everyone at the Academy in Arlington, TX, for their incredible service and devotion to both the customer and to the game itself. More specifically, I would like to thank Jerrod for all he has done and continues to do in improving every aspect of my game. He is the ultimate professional in that he is able to not only recognize exactly what needs to be done in a different manner, but he is also able to explain and demonstrate the correction in such a way that is easily understood, “makes sense”, and translates into very positive results for the student. Jerrod teaches in a step-by-step logical progression to insure complete understanding and competence with each lesson being taught before moving forward. In addition to his very thorough teaching skills, he is patient and tolerant with a great sense of humor. Even with my being sure that I am one of his most challenging clients, he has made a tremendous positive difference in my game in a very short time—and it is always a pleasure to work with him. I would highly recommend Jerrod to anyone wanting to actually enjoy improving their game with a true professional…he is the best!
Bill Boswell	I wanted to express my satisfaction with the golf development program at Edwin Watts Golf Academy. I have been taking lessons at Edwin Watts for about one year now. My swing has technically improved but more importantly, my scores have decreased by 5-10 strokes per round with my best score to-date being an 83! You, Jerel, Tyler and Josh are all excellent instructors. All of you are friendly and helpful when I come to the store to practice. I have recommended you on several occasions to my golfing friends and will continue to do so. You have certainly made the game more fun for me.
Dick Andrews	I'll take a moment of your time to pass along my opinion of your golf academy's value to a seventy-four year old 17 handicapper who wishes to learn at a late age to swing properly and hopefully start enjoying the game at a higher level. I started working with your guys about six weeks ago and will send you an updated review of my game in about six weeks after I'm on the grass and see the "new guy with the new swing"....In the mean time I'll give you my thoughts of your academy-First,I think you have clever and smart way of introducing the program to the guy/gal coming in to see what you have to offer.Iv'e had many lessons from some of the best and still have had the "outside-in"club path that produces a fade or pull-without knowing which will occure.I introduced myself to a Scott Shannon who sold me on this method in a period of ten minutes and I had no thoughts of taking another golf lesson when I walked into EW! After six weeks with the excellent guidance of Scott,Ian,Tom,and John,I'm starting to feel better about my chances of hitting the ball correctly.True your laser method is of great help,but without these guys working with me,I would never be feeling positive about my current status.Whoever hired and trained these gentlemen should feel very proud of his/her efforts!.They all are dedicated to your company,the laser swing tool and most all-teaching the student.From an old guy with an old swing who has been involved with sales and marketing my entire life,I can honestly tell you that your Atlanta store is in good hands with these fellows!
Dwayne Dietert	Edwin Watts Golf Academy is exactly what I needed to really create and enforce a firmer foundation of my golf game fundamentals. Their step by step teaching is the correct way to a successful and and consistent swing plane. The instructors are consistent and clear in explaining goals and proper technique through the use of video feedback and laser training. In a relatively short period of time, I went from a raw novice feeling extremely intimidated around other golfers, to a confident intermediate level golfer still improving all the time. I now actually enjoy the game a little bit more each time I play another round. I will forever be grateful to Edwin Watts Golf Academy for providing me the knowledge, skill, and confidence level to truly enjoy the pleasure and relaxation benefits the game of golf has to offer.
Bruce Pierce	My experience at Edwin Watts Golf Academy has been outstanding. Not only has my golf swing improved but I have enjoyed all three of the instructors and the conscientious approach to instruction I have received from all three instructors (You, Sean, and Patrick). The video equipment makes it possible for me to see the progress of my swing and understand what is wrong or right about it. Thanks for the patience and understanding you and your staff have shown me. I look forward to long and productive relationship with Edwin Watts Golf Academy. I have also benefitted from a complete new set of golf clubs purchased from Edwin Watts Golf in the past two months.
Steve Callaghan	I just wanted you to know how much the three lessons I took last year from Scott Shannon helped me. I am hitting the drives much straighter, and accuracy has improved with the irons alse. I won a hole in one contest last summer at a tournament in Cherokee county. Scott is a very grood instructor, and I appreciate your companys great service. Sincerely, Steve Callaghan
Alan G. Leyland	The basic changes I've been taught, have greatly improved my quality of striking the ball on a more consistent basis.
Tom Read	Dear Mr. Fagan, I had never picked up a golf club until I was 71 years old; business brought me to Atlanta last spring and I took several sessions of your EWGA program at the Edwin Watts Store in the Buckhead suburb of Atlanta. I can't say enough about the knowledge, skill, and teaching excellence of the young men who helped me. They stayed with me, encouraged me and greatly improved my game. This week I had a follow-up session at the same Atlanta location and they helped me correct some flaws I had developed. Their interest in me, their humor and their super expertise has been invaluable. Congratulations on developing a suburb program.
Frank Russell Jr.	I have taken 11 golf lessons and on last Sat. I shot my "best' round in five years having been off for two years recovering from back surgery. I decided rather than to go to the driving range and try to correct of my issues that I would enroll for the twenty four lessons at Edwin Watts. It has really paid off as each week I have found myself getting better and better and better with more confidence in my rhythm and timing. Once I complete the lesson from Scott, I either go to the driving range or go play; if the weather is cold I practice inside my garage. Thanks Scott for helping me to get my game back!!!!!!!!!
Kenneth Fry Jr.	I was a single digit handicapper into age 70. Almost shot my age, had a few rounds at par. Then I quit practicing, got sloppy and blew up to 16. By chance, discovered the swing analysis at EW Academy in Jan 2011. Thomas and Scott got me on a weekly training session and by August, 2011, I shot my age 77, later had my second ever hole-in-one, lowering my index and enjoying the game again. Thanks Thomas and Scott in Atlanta.
Kevan Western	Patrick, I want to thank you for your endless patience and excellent instruction. Your instruction has really improved my ball striking and lowed my golf scores. When I began taking lessions, my scores were in the high 90's and now I'm consistently in the mid 80's and occassionally in the very low 80's. Besides being an excellent instructor, you've got a great personality and I feel that you really care to see my game improve. Thanks so much for all your help. You really make my golf lessons fun and very enjoyable. Thanks again. Kevan Western
Dirk Rodriguez	Patrick, I wanted to take advantage of the New Year to tell you, you are a great golf instructor. 6 months of instructing by you and the other colleagues at Edwin Watts Academy has allowed me to enjoy the game of golf. As a golf newbie, I have confidence in my swing and can't wait for winter to end to get out there try out my new skills. Thanks for all the help.
Paul Sternberger	Patrick, Just a note to say thanks for the changes you have made in my swing and how much they have helped me. When I decided to use your program, I was looking for something or anything that would provide some distance to my game. I was a 5 handicapper up until 3 years ago and went thru some serious health problems and major abdominal surgery in July 2010. At that time I lost most of my distance with both irons and metal woods. The surgery took the majority of my core strength and I have been trying to regain it since that time. My game diminished after the illness and I was extremely discouraged and frustrated. My handicap jumped up to 13 and stayed there for some time. I started getting stronger, but could not get back to the level I was prior to being sick. Just since July my handicap has started coming down, and my distance was so-so, nothing outstanding. I was pretty much resigned to the fact I would never be very long off of the tee box from then on. I talked to you there at EWGA and decided to give you a try. I was a little skeptical of what changes your lesson(s) involved and not sure I wanted to trust them enough to institute them. However, I have been able to integrate them into my game and using them full time and am more than extremely pleased with the results they have given me in my game. I am longer off of the tee than I have been in at least 20 years…..I have been in places distance wise at my home course that I have never been to before as far as distance and I have been a member there (Diamond Oaks) since 1997. I have been used to hitting long irons or hybrids into par 4’s and after using your techniques I am consistently using the “scoring irons” (7-W). Quite a change for me, and I am very pleased with the results. There have been times where I have gotten in trouble in a hole because I mis-clubbed and went thru the green by hitting an iron further than what I have for the past for years. I am still new to the methods, but am excited about the results I have seen so far and making them 100% on every swing which will come with practice and repetition. But I am very pleased with the results and look forward to working with you more in the future.
Stan Briggs	“I just wanted to provide a quick Thank You for your assistance. I have completed 3 lessons so far, which were the first golf lessons I’ve ever taken. The 8 months before my lessons, I played 1-2 rounds per month, counting every penalty stroke, I would complete a round anywhere from 102-108. Since I’ve taken my first lesson just weeks ago, I finish a round in the 91-95 range. This is a direct result of being able to take what you teach and implement into my game. It makes for a more enjoyable round of golf, for me and my partners. I just wanted to let you guys know how valuable these lessons can be.”
Todd Shapiro, VP, Merrill Lynch Insurance Technology	"I will tell you I am an avid golfer who has taken lessons from many of the areas top pros and I have read at least a dozen of the most popular books available. If I had to do it all again and could choose just one teaching method, Bunky and the system he teaches would be that method. Bunky has a sound approach backup with real time video and laser. The results are tremendous. In practically no time, I discovered that my inconsistent ball contact was a result of several significant flaws with my swing. Using the video, laser and lessons from the instructor, I've made tremendous improvements to my swing plane, weight shift, and most importantly, ball contact. The results have been remarkable and have occurred in just a few weeks. The bottom line is: the instruction is right on the money!"
Tom Read	"Marc, It was a joy to meet you this morning in Atlanta, giving me a chance to express my thanks and congratulations to you personally on an excellent program. My two instructors, Thomas Galus and Jonathan Miller were truly exceptional. They inherited a client of 72 years of age, who first picked up a golf club a few months earlier, and who possessed every flaw known to mankind, and--with great patience and humor and an ability to communicate in simple, understandable terms--turned my game around. I now can hit the ball with much greater confidence and accuracy and have developed a true love for the game. I just wanted you to know how much your new academy has meant to me and to know the great admiration I have developed for Thomas and Jonathan. Keep up the great work you have started."
Stephen Register	"I started playing golf 8 months ago. I had been hitting 100 - 105 for about 2 months. I started the Par Program at Edwin Watts Golf Academy and within 2 weeks I lowered my score 10 strokes and shot a 90. This is GREAT!"
David Courtney	"Best 9 hole score... 38 on a par 36 course. Keeping the club on plane is the key and Edwin Watts Golf Academy taught me that."
John Sabol	"As a beginner, golf is very confusing. Utilizing the laser in conjunction with practice and video, quickly helped me to correct a multitude of problems."
Neil Grossman	"Never thought I'd shoot a round in the 80's. I finally did - and after only 10 lessons. Can't wait to see what happens after 14 more. This system really helps you see and feel the right swing."
Dorothy Norris	"I am amazed how much I have learned in only 6 lessons! And I'm a beginner. This is a great place with kind and friendly people."
Lu Fowler	"I took a lesson from you and afterwards I was convinced to buy the swing laser. I'm really glad I did. I almost didn't buy it because of the $99 price, however, after debating for a while I gave in and it has been the best device/concept I have seen or used. As a 5 handicapper before, I already had a pretty good swing, however, you were able to show me on the video why I needed the swing laser. If properly done you get immediate feedback on where you are on plane."...we had our club championship. I was able to win without practicing. All the practicing I did was just swing the club 200 times a week for the past 3 months. This is the best system I've seen"
Patricia Gornick	"When I started at Edwn Watts Golf Academy, I was a pure beginner. Now I am able to pick up any club and hit consistently straight shots! Their system is easy to follow and their pros are friendly and knowledgeable."
Christine Mills	"I improved my average score from 115 to 95! Edwin Watts Golf Academy teaching method is founded on truth. Anyone that works with it will see improvement. It is a valid system rather than just a gimmick. In my opinion, within five years the traditional lesson will be obsolete and pro's that do not use feedback will be a thing of the past!"
Jim Williams	"Edwin Watts Golf Academy helped me to make improvements in my swing without completely changing it. Because of the lazer and teaching system, I went from a 120 to an 92!"
Rich Ivester	"My partners are shocked at how quickly my handicap has improved from a 25 to a 15! Swinging on plane, understanding the theory, and having the feedback - is the key to my improvement."
Dan Mielcarski	"Because of the constant positive feedback from the training aids and instructors at Edwin Watts Golf Academy, I finally understand the golf swing. That is why I am shooting consistently in the high 70's instead of the high 80's!"
Chris Johnson	"I improved from a 10 to a 4!! I tried everything - school, tapes, articles, traditional lessons - the only thing that works is the laser and video feedback and the instruction from the Edwin Watts Golf Academy professionals!"
Steve Gibbs	"I am 100% more knowledgeable about the golf swing. Other lessons were just a guessing game. If you understand the fundamentals, you always have something to work on. With the laser feedback, I work on the correct swing every time!"
