Best Christmas Present Ever!

“As a special Christmas present, I gave my family 3 days of lessons at the Mel Sole Golf School. What a huge hit. Coming from the Midwest and South we scheduled our trip for late April. Mel was great and funny as ever (my wife’s and my 3rd visit). But best of all we had the most enjoyable and memorable family get together.”

Thanks Mel & Rosemary,

Your school teaches every aspect of golf, and this difficult game is now much easier and more FUN for me! Your instructors are amazing and a huge reason the program works!

— Jack Whitley, Boston MA

As an Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Physical Therapist often working with golfers, I truly appreciate Mel’s amazing teaching ability. He has a very keen sense of the physiology and biomechanics of the golf swing.

— Melissa Patton P.T., Murrells Inlet, SC

I’ve played golf for 25 years, and I never really understood the golf swing. After 10+ hours of instruction, I finally stand up to the ball with confidence with the full swing, pitching, chipping, and putting.

My biggest regret regarding your school and particularly the lessons from you, Mel? That I had not attended your school years ago. It would have eliminated years of frustrating golf!

— Jim Lentz, The Lentz Group, Inc.

I’ve been to several well-known schools, and I truly believe your program and approach to be the best. The combination of videos, computers, and the drills was outstanding!

— Peter Schick, Moneta Group, Inc.

I would recommend your school to anyone looking to improve their golf game. It is also a great way to spend some personal time with clients. Thanks for your help and the professional touch from your staff.

— Reid Pannill, Fluor Daniel

Excellent program. Great instructor. The practice drills and my take-home online video have resulted in major improvement. Thank you!

— Louis Adams, Arlington, VA 

Simple and effective instruction. Our teacher worked magic with all 4 of us, and we each had very different swing problems!

— Bill and Alice Otis, Pawleys Island, SC 

“The Mel Sole Golf School is the best thing that ever happened to my golf game. I won the City Championship only one month after school!”

— Sara Lowdermilk, Shreveport, LA 

“I was a 27 handicap when I first came to your school 10 years ago. With each return visit, my handicap has fallen and is now below 10! Thanks a million.”

— Mike Pembroke, Newark, DE 

“Having been to four other schools, Mel Sole Golf School was by far the finest and most fundamentally sound that I’ve experienced. I’m recommending you highly!”

— Wayne George, Olathe, KS 

“You run a first-class operation, and the value is one of the best in the industry. My game has improved dramatically, particularly my short game.”

— Joseph Freer, ex-NHL player, Winston-Salem, NC 

“Thanks for improving my whole game. I’ve dropped 5 strokes from my handicap, and I’m 75 years young!”

— Kay Rylott, Toronto, ON 

“My goal was to break 100 consistently, and I’m now doing that. My husband and I enjoyed the 3-day school so much that we’ll be back with new goals. Thanks again!”

— Lawana Jones, Bremen, GA 

“As beginner golfers we are thrilled with our improvement. The daily lessons and drills on all aspects of the game were great fun.  Our take-home online lessons are a great reference for the future.”
