Joal Harding - Golf Instructor In Bradenton, Florida

Michael M. says, "Just would like to let everyone know what a fantastic golf pro and teacher Joal Harding is. Like any other club player, I struggled at times badly, and tried different opinions from others to fix my issues. Sadly, none were effective...until Joal. I was recommended to her by the people at the Stack and Tilt academy, because that's the swing I wanted to learn. But what I learned instead made Joal invaluable to me. See, everyone moves differently, sees the game differently, and approaches the game differently. The true genius in any teacher is to not shove the student in a box, but to give the student wings to fly on their own...to know themselves. This, as I have come to understand, is the true value of having Joal as an instructor. She is not only extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the game, but also understands how best to shape a player to perform their best. YOUR BEST. When you choose Joal as your instructor, you’re not just getting a golf pro; you’re getting a Pro's pro. She is brilliant, funny, wise, understanding, sensitive, kind, compassionate, but also a competitor of the highest order. Given time, you will (1) Know YOUR swing and how to fix it during a round, (2) You will have a world-class short game, (3) You will know how a true professional thinks inside the ropes, and at all possibilities, (4) You will know EXACTLY what you need to do to constantly improve, and (5) You will, as I have come to the understanding of, love every single minute! The Great Jack Nicklaus said in his book "Golf My Way”… Value a watchful eye. Joal never misses anything. Her professionalism, passion for human development, and talent would never allow it. Trust me on this. Becoming her student was one of the best decisions I have ever made. To me, she is literally priceless. You too will find this to be an absolute truth. I look forward to having the honor and opportunity to continue my golf education with her in the future, because I know I will become the best that I can possibly be and no doubt, better than I ever thought I could be.

Dave quickly identified my issue and it had more to do with my equipment than my swing. Once I had the adjustments made the swing fell right back into place

Pushed to Rise – Built for Varsity Competition My daughter entered high school at 14 already training with purpose, and Apex has taken her athletic development to another level. She stepped straight into varsity volleyball and varsity basketball, and now she’s competing in track—not because it was easy, but because her coach continues to push her to rise. That constant push has made all the difference. Her strength, speed, conditioning, and mental toughness have grown dramatically. She moves with confidence, competes with intensity, and carries herself like a true varsity athlete across every sport she plays. What stands out most is how well her training translates. The same fundamentals—explosiveness, body control, and resilience—show up whether she’s on the court, on the track, or in practice. Apex didn’t just prepare her physically; it prepared her mentally to compete, to accept challenges, and to thrive under pressure. Watching her embrace hard work and continue to expand her athletic range has been incredible. Apex has given her the tools, the discipline, and the belief that she belongs at the highest level—and she proves it every time she steps onto the floor or track. This is real development. Real results. Real confidence.

Robert Reid President at R.A. Reid & Associates Played quite a bit of golf growing up as a kid, loved the game. Now age 60 trying to get back into golf after dealing with some illness. Joal is a striking looking lady where she stands 6' plus and as a great presence about her. After a few minutes, I felt very comfortable with Joal where I didn't know what to expect. She was just awesome as an instructor, going over video of my swing. She started off explaining the positives of the swing and the few things she wanted to concentrate fixing. Worked on the things she suggested during the week, telling me not to go out just pounding golf balls at the range. Work on the few things seeing them in the mirror. Played three days later and had a blast playing considerably better. Hit the ball as well as I did as a kid with much the same distance and now have the same passion for the game and can't wait to schedule another lesson with Joal. She is an awesome lady and if you want to play better or have a son or daughter that is passionate about the game. I would highly recommend getting a few lessons with Joal.

Domenico Geminianni has been working with Jacques now since he was 7. Jacques has worked with Dom on all aspects of his game from his mental, physical, and Bio-mechanics to his short game and full swing. Today his weekly playing lessons continually challenge Dom to explore shot options, use self control, and practice efficiently. We could not be more happy with our relationship with Jacques and his relentless efforts to get Dom to the top of his game.
