About
Mike Mandakas is a PGA Instructor, Coach, and Trainer that has been a member of the PGA since 2005. He works with all levels of players from beginners to Tour Level players. Mike uses the best technology available through video analysis and data capturing to help develop players. Golf Lessons are certainly the most utilized service but other offerings are available to help golfers and athletes in Golfer Performance through Biomechanical, Mental, and Physical Training. My time splits between my Indoor Facility in Willowbrook where I have most of my technology and outdoors during the season for Driving Range, Short Game and Putting Work and On Course Instruction.
I enjoy helping others reach short term and long term goals. Whether the golfer is a beginner or elite player, I enjoy helping them improve and make the game more enjoyable to them.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My typical process begins with a short or thorough evaluation of the student. This evaluation will start with a Q&A then will be follow by a physical and technical evaluation of strengths and weaknesses with the body and the swing mechanics while finding out what some of his/her short term and long term goals are that will lead into the lesson/session. After the session I will send a session follow up with an instructional plan for practice in between lessons.
