Hi HB,
It was great seeing you again during Diana and my visit to Palm Springs in March.
I want to bring you up to date on my progress from the two lessons with you on my short game during our stay. The results have been terrific (I am still reaping the benefits to my long game from last year!).
It was amazing that you quickly picked out my flaws in both chipping and pitching, but even more so corrected them on the spot. I have been working hard with the drills that you gave me and want you to know that my handicap has dropped four shots as a result! I am expecting that it will drop even more by summers end.
I look forward to seeing you again next year.

HB was fantastic! She was quick to respond via email and text messages. Since I was traveling to Palm Springs without my own golf clubs, she was able to gather clubs similar to what I play so that I would have the correct clubs for my lessons. She even let me keep the set for the day so that I could play a round of golf with them. I took notes and was able to put some of her tips into action right away, while I plan to practice the rest once I get home. HB could identify specific things about my grip and stance that will make a difference in my game. She was also very positive about things that I was doing correctly--it was good to know I was doing some things right since my list of things to correct is long! Id recommend HB for beginners or advanced players. I plan to book another lesson when I am back in the area.

This was my 3rd lesson with HB and as usual she was excellent. I improved after each lesson and by the 3rd lesson I have improved by 9 strokes at the same course.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HB.
I will be going back to the east coast with a new game and confidence.
Thank you HB Duntz-MacArthur you are the best. JBM

HB is easy to understand and she cares about her students. HB also shows how to practice the right way without lots of things to think about. This was my 2nd lesson and I have improved by at least 6 strokes and felling better about practicing. I am looking forward for the next lesson. Thank you HB you are the best.
