"I wanted to tell you that I won the gold medal in men’s singles competition at the Buffalo Riverworks Tournament this past Friday. I was undefeated in five matches but lost two games overall. I lost the first game of the gold medal match 11-0 then won the next two games … do you believe it? Thanks for all your coaching (you are a great coach)." Don T. (Williamsburg, VA)
"Your coaching session made me think a lot. And today, for the first time ever, I was a thinking player...or at least I tried to be! And I won a lot too, which was also fun since I'd not experienced that! Down the middle I kept telling myself. It worked! Thanks so much. I enjoy the way you coach!” Marcia D. (Williamsburg, VA)
"Jeff, today’s session was extremely helpful. I think many times we think we know what we’re doing but, in actuality, it takes an external set of eyes to point out to us what our positioning and actions really are or should be. Today’s session did that. Well done." Harry V. (Williamsburg, VA)
"My friend and I found our experience with our coach to be very helpful while still having a great time!
My coach was very insightful and identified areas in our game that needed improvement and we were able to work on them while playing with a great group of players. Fun sessions, great feedback, positive attitude. Love my new grip!" Linda E. (Chambersburg, PA)
"Our session was definitely time well spent. Am working on the hard shot return today...one thing at a time." John F. (Williamsburg, VA)
“A great introduction to the game, including strategy, rules, how the club works, etc. Whets my appetite for more playing time!” M. Garrett (Williamsburg, VA)
