Don't even bother to ask if anyone else has gone, it Butch is going to be there it is well worth the money.

I have worked in golf for 46 years. I have been to a lot of cool places and met a lot of interesting people.

Butch is the coolest guy I've ever met and his studio was the coolest place!

Is Butch's real name Eugene? Further, did Butch serve in the marines? He has all the marine related paraphernalia but I can't tell if it's only honorary. If he did, that's cool.

Butch's name is Claude Harmon, Jr. And he was in the Army. Eugene may have been a brother. Butch is a strong supporter of our military

I have had the privilege of taking lessons here when I lived in Las Vegas - my instructor was one his staff pros Shawn Callahan. I went in as about a 10 handicap and after 3 years emerged a +2. The best part was local residents got 50% the teaching rates. It was not uncommon to hang out after your lesson and see people like Fred Couples, Natalie Gulbis, Nick Watney, or Corey Pavin on the range and hit balls right next to them. Probably one of the few things I miss about living in Vegas!

When I worked with Natalie and Darren back in 2005, and as a result of having a common connection/friend with the Harmon family and their ties to Wing Foot, I had the privilege of working with Butch. I had a couple lessons from his stall. Great experience and an even better guy.


Brings back some cool memories. Thanks for sharing.

Just FYI but unless you are a top touring pro or paying a VERY hefty sum to attend one of Butch's private camps you aren't taking lessons from Butch directly. Anyone can go to the school but your lessons are going to be from his staff pros. Most of Butch's time is spent with his touring professionals and VIP clients only.

"D," back in '05 my 2 lessons were with Butch, direct.......but, again, that was because of who I was working with at the time, and due to common friends and family connections. I consider myself very lucky. No clue how it is today......10 years later, but I'm sure out of reach.
