Sonny is the best! He taught me everything I know about golf as I went from only having gone to the driving range and playing mini-golf a few times to finishing a full 18-hole game and hitting pars and even a birdie along the way!
I had made it a New Year's resolution to take golf lessons and found Sonny through the PGA's Get Golf Ready program to introduce people to the game. He was great at explaining everything from stance to club grip and had a ton of useful drills that I could use to practice on my own. After the month was finished, I continued with lessons once a week for two more months at the Newport Beach Golf Club. My long game needed work (I couldn't hit too far originally), but saw improvement after our training to the point that I was ready for a game (which was my goal). We did two games as lessons where we went over all the rules, golf etiquette, club selections, etc. He always had the answers to my questions and had various ways to help with learning (filming by video, personalized drills, etc.). He even helped me figure out which golf clubs to buy in my Craigslist search.
Throughout all this, he was always patient and encouraging and knew exactly what I need to fix to get the result I was looking for. Super happy now that I can play golf with a solid performance - Sonny is highly recommended whether you are just learning or looking to improve your game!
