Thomas Valdez was my coach for over 4 years. One thing I believe is that golf coaching should not be from a preconceived cookbook. Thomas takes this into account and structures his lessons based on your thought process and natural abilities. He breaks down the techniques of the different aspects of the swing so you can understand the process of learning the swing. He is a phenomenal listener. I feel most instructors just want you to come back time after time trying to have you follow a recipe to learn the technical aspects of teaching instruction. However, Thomas not only cares about what it takes to make you a successful golfer, but he also wants you to enjoy the game and the process of improving your game. I not only improved my golf swing but also more importantly, golf course management. I truly enjoyed the off conversations we have about other subjects during our time because it brings the process back to earth. I highly recommend anyone at any level to come see him.
