I would definitely recommend Gerry as a golf instructor, I still am taking lessons from him to improve my game.

Paul K. says: I’ve been having issues with my driver for a while and have had several lessons and video sessions with other instructors. I took a lesson with Gerry and in an hour, he gave me one tip that made all the difference. Gerry keeps things simple and clear, gets to the heart of an issue and beyond that is a great person to boot.

Hans W. says: Just had my first lesson with Gerry and it was an excellent experience. All the other reviews about Gerry being a great teacher are dead on!

Nadedja M. says: I had several classes with Gerry through the Los Altos Community Education Program. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the game and his teaching methodology. So I decided to continue my golf practices with Gerry after my classes finished. I am definitely not disappointed. Gerry has a real knack for spotting the deficiencies in the individual performance and offer solutions for the problems. After quite a few years of pursuing golf I believe that I finally found the instructor who can effectively help me improve my game.

Derrick C. says: Gerry is the best. He explains techniques that will allow you to approve independently as well as provides excellent feedback. Invaluable instructor.

"Grasshoppa" L. says: "Be patient, Grasshoppa. Take smaller steps if you want to learn how to make good golf shots more consistently" This is the best advice I have learned about golf from Gerry. Like most beginners, I just wanted to "hit" that golf ball, and not paying enough attention to the body motions of the golf swing from start to finish. Gerry has opened up my mind about the basic concepts of creating good golf shots, effortlessly. He is a very patient coach/instructor and intends for his students to learn how to play golf more effectively.

Sylvia K. says: I am very glad to have Gerry as a golf instructor for both my daughter and myself. In any of his golf lessons, you will soon discover that he is knowledgeable and passionate to the sport of golf. If you are a kid, Gerry will definitely find a way to lead and motivate you to make the learning of golf fun, enjoyable and thus effective. If you are an adult, Gerry also explains the game very well, from the rules, techniques, the reasons behind them, the physics of the swings, the angles and the impact between the club head and ball, ... etc. He is definitely a good instructor choice for both adults and children.
