    I started taking lessons from Kirk about a year ago and I take from him once every couple of weeks currently.
    I feel like I’m getting better. He’s actually a trained teaching instructor with a trained eye. He makes things very understandable and he’s really patient. The higher rate is worth it. He teaches you the correct fundamentals and it took the guess work out. Thanks Captain!

    Kirk is an amazing dude and an even better teacher! Working with him over the past 5 months has dropped my score by almost 25 strokes! I would highly recommend Kirk to anyone looking for high quality lessons in central Mississippi.
