Looking for a Phoenix area putting instructor

Looking for recommendations for a putting instructor in town. Something relatively affordable (No Stan Utley for me).

Background: I'm a 6 handicap that plays like a 3-4 tee to green, but putts like a 15-20 handicapper. I miss several 3' putts each round.

Thanks in adavance for any suggestions.

Where are you located? Do you want to travel?
Matt van Cleave at Toka Sticks is pretty good.
Gil (forget his last name) at Ahwatukee cc is good, also.
Tyler Christiansen at Silverado does short game and putting.

I'm in the Arcadia area but I can travel across town. Thanks for the suggestions; I'll look into them.

Gill Benevidez (or however you spell it) is an absolute dirtbag.

If I say anymore, I'm gonna have to go into witness protection.

Matt Van Cleave is worth the drive.

I might invest first in a mental putting lesson with Dr. Debbie Crews. She is out at ASU and is lightyears ahead of most.
The, for more functional and mechanical, my opinion is Grayhawk's Stan Utley or Kay Kennedy. I have never had a putting lesson from Stan, but he's known to be crazy good. Kay is amazing...something about a woman who can putt and communicate the art is a peaceful and worthwhile experience.

cheers!

Reviving this thread. I'm looking for a putting lesson. I'm a midcap and my weakness is putting. I realize that Utley is well recommended. Not sure I can afford a tour instructor.

Any other instructors that you guys recommend for putting?

North Phx or Scottsdale area. I'm willing to drive if the instructor is excellent.

Thx

Bump .. need help

So I inquired about costs and received this back as an option.

Check John Kostis at Greyhawk. Helped my whole game tremendously.

Anyone take a three hour lesson from Stan Utley? Toying with the idea when I head to Scottsdale next weekend. I'd spend the $ if the lesson was excellent.

Any other recommendations? Thanks.

I did a short game clinic last year and thought it was great

Stan and John @ Grayhawk are both great. If you’re just looking for putting help, Matt knows his stuff and will be much more cost effective if that’s a factor.

Any recommendations in 2023 for a putting instructor in Phoenix?
