John Francis is a fantastic golf instructor, easy to understand and easy to work with.
I had not played golf for about 20 years and wanted to get back into it. I was going to the driving range hitting balls about 3-4 times a week but seemed I was not improving as fast and as well as I wanted too. A friend of mine that used to own a pro shop said if I wanted to get better I HAD to take lessons. So I stared looking for instructors and found John.
I liked the fact that the lessons were in his back yard which makes it very private giving you the opportunity to stay focused on the lessons and not all the people around you. He also had all the necessary equipment to improve your game.
So I started taking lessons with John and my game has improved tremendously.
He is great for beginners as well as advanced players. One thing I really like about John is that he cares about each and every player and no matter what level your golf game is at, you will improve with John's help.
I highly recommend him
