Lessons northern Illinois

Recommended Posts

Anyone know of a good place to get lessons from in northeast Illinois? Particularly McHenry county?i live in Marengo. I used to go to golf shack in Rockford when I was in high school but looking for somewhere a little closer. I’m a 13 handicap in my 9 hole league. Just looking to get better

Thanks, Brandon

Brandon you're not terribly far from Todd Sones in Vernon Hills who is one of the best instructors in the Chicago area. He's a bit pricey but produces. Good luck!

I tried Todd Sones for a lesson and he wanted me to change my setup. He wanted me to do the weirdest thing ever which wasn't needed. I look back on the video analysis now and before the change I looked like Tiger woods in 97. I'm not kidding you on this, he wanted me to pull back my shoulder blades for a straight upper back. Pulling my shoulder blades back was the weirdest feeling and most weird thing any instructor ever asked me to do, it felt like I couldn't reach down to the ball, let alone swing. It ruined the entire lesson pretty much because I lost any trust in him after that. So because of that I wouldn't go to him, it was a worthless change and he charges alot.
