His ability to quickly analysis my swing to see what I am doing wrong and the knowledge and understanding on how to fix it. Plus the drills he provides to practice the changes, whether is Driver, Putter or Irons. He is very patience and provides excellent feedback. I would recommend him to anyone looking for lessons.

I first met Jeff with Tincup Golf well over 15 years ago. I remember him stressing the importance of solid putting as the majority of our strokes are on the green. Hence the saying "Putt for dough." He taught me a putting tip that lo and behold is now used by Matt Kuchar and Bryson DeChambeau. Jeff was certainly ahead of his time with these tips and he continues to be on the cutting edge. It sure is nice knowing that I'm consistently one of the best putters in my group. Thanks Jeff

Excellent - worth every penny! First professional who took the time to explain what to correct, how it should look and feel, and a timeline of expected results. Can’t wait to get back out this spring, golf will be fun again! Thank you, Jeff

Jeff was very professional and knowledgeable about golf. He was able to fix my swing in just the one lesson! I will definitely be signing up for a second.
