Orlando - instructors

GreyDawg · December 30, 2021

Anyone got a good instructor, reasonably priced in Orlando? Just moved down here and live on the north side in Winter Park. I'm a 10 handicap looking to take a few lessons to start the year and then keep them going maybe once a month or so... not looking to go pro lol. Also would say, would like to find someone that works on a range. Not a huge fan of getting lessons on a indoor simulator only.

Josh Koch (joshkochgolf.com). He works with Tour players and is a long drive competitor and is one of the fastest in the world. I worked with him from Jan-Apr of this year and helped my game immensely and started hitting the ball some of the best I've ever hit it.

I haven't talked to him in a while because I moved to Virginia. At the time I was working with him he was giving lessons out of Reunion Resort (down by Disney). So it was an outdoor lesson. But he was going to build his own studio in Millenial Mall that was going to have every major piece of technology there (GEARS, GASP System, Trackman, etc). That would obviously be an indoor simulator deal, but the tech would be worth it and knowing Josh...he'd probably be willing to give some lessons at a range somewhere.

Brendan Kennedy is out of Alaqua Lakes in Longwood which is closer by. He's a really good coach. His lessons are outdoors. I think he has a FlightScope. I think he's at $150/hour. Usually best to call Brendan or call the Alaqua Lakes pro shop instead of e-mailing him.

For the life of me I can't remember Josh's fee, but that fee may have changed anyway if he's moved into the new studio.

Justin Blazer teaches out of Duran Golf Club in Viera. That's more like an hour drive. He has a Trackman and outside of Mark Sweeney, knows more about AimPoint than anybody. He's also learned from Dr. Kwon. Not sure what his fee is, but I don't think it's more than $150/hour...probably less.
