I am currently living in Thornton. Can anyone recommend a good instructor in the area and a good place to practice. I haven't played golf in awhile due to reconstructive knee surgery and a disk problem in my back. Looking forward to getting on the course again! I am also looking to rebuild my swing from the ground up to take pressure of my back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I might check them out. I was hoping to find someplace North of Denver.

Does anyone have any experience with the pro's out at McGetrick's?

Or any instructors that teach, and practice, a more rotary swing?

Yes, I had a couple of lessons from Mike and from his instructors when the school was still at Meridan. That was about 4 years ago and I am still using the techniques he taught - rotating the left hip, keeping the shoulders mostly square at impact. I also took about 10 lessons a year from Dave Lopez who is now at Bear Creek. An excellent instructor. Keeps it very simple and instills in you the confidence that you can execute the shot at hand. The head pro, Paul Lobato, also knows the swing well and is a good instructor. hope this helps some. Anyway, I would absolutely recommend McGetrick. Good luck.
