I’ve been lucky enough to have a lot of great golf experiences, but the golf lessons I had recently rank near the very top. It was everything a lesson should be: fun, educational, and inspirational. I left that lesson more excited about the game because I can see a clear path to playing better. The person responsible for this lesson was Burdette Hawkins.

I began playing Golf about 2 years ago and absolutely love the sport. I’ve gotten hooked on it and constantly trying to improve my game. At the start of my lessons, Burdette discussed his training plan and talked at length to understand what my goals are and how we can collaborate to help me reach my goals. Burdette instructed me to grip the club, address the ball, and make a swing. Once I took about 10 swings the lessons truly began. Burdette provided immediate feedback on my tendencies and made some adjustments to help me strike the ball better. One thing that I’d love to point out, is that throughout my lesson, he stressed the importance of staying mentally prepared. This is an area where Burdette shines. I really like the approach that he takes by keeping things fun, simple, and effective. He also took multiple photos and videos of my swings and thoroughly explained the ins and outs of why my ball would take flight the way it does. After a few swings, Burdette and I would go through the videos frame by frame breaking down what was good and what needed improvement. At this point, I, like most golfers, was unhappy with my swing and was very eager to fix it.

Burdette showed me the first change that we were going to make, and we began working on drills to start ingraining that. As my lesson ended, Burd, captured another video to show me the immediate improvement and discussed what the next step would be. The best part of this lesson – what would have made it worth twice the price – was the fact that I left so excited about playing better golf. For the first time in my short time with golf, I saw meaningful improvements in my swing and on course management. I know felt like I have a plan and the tools to succeed. I used to feel that shooting lower scores was a dream and unattainable. After executing the training plan that Burd and I, put together I saw instant gains during my next round of golf. My scores dropped from the High 90s to the Mid 80s, with much thanks to Burdette. I cannot express how grateful I am for having an opportunity to work with Burdette Hawkins.

Below is a list of Golf Training Services that Burdette offers:

• Long Game (Driver, Fairway Woods, Hybrid)

• Irons • Short Game (Pitch, Chip)

• Putting

• On Course Management If you’re looking to make a real investment in improving your game, I cannot recommend Burdette Hawkins highly enough.
