Finding an instructor in Dallas

[RickAstley]

Sorry if this has been posted before, I tried searching but didn't find what I was looking for. I used to play golf quite a bit and hovered around a 10-14 when I mostly quit playing about 5 years ago. Mostly self taught with lots of youtube videos and playing, but never really any coaching or deliberate practice. I'm looking to pick the sport back up, but want to do it the right way. I don't have any intention of trying to get to scratch and dedicating a ton of time but would like to get back to 10 (or under!) and be consistent. How do you guys go about finding a coach? I've been to the PGA website and can see a list of instructors in the area, but is it really all trial and error on picking someone?

Cam might be a bit of a stretch.. I'm not trying to go pro or play super competitive. I'll look more into Michael, but his rates don't seem that much cheaper than Cam's and it's a bit further away to Ft Worth. Thanks for the recommendations though!

Scott Robbins

 

Google will lead you to his website.

Will look him up, thanks!

 

Anybody have experience with Pure Swing Golf, or the local Golftec? I know Golftec has been discussed ad nauseum here but I'm sure locality plays a factor in these retail chains. Pure swing looks interesting but I'm sure is pricey as well.

Dennis Sales is still around there, Argyle, TX.

I've been looking to get lessons with Cam but all I see is the Altus program which doesn't look like individual private lessons, am I missing something?

What is Dennis Sales style? He's by me, and I'm def interested in going, but I dont see much on YouTube or anything for him. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks

Ive been making a list trying to find a new coach, here's everyone that I have considered:

 

Cam McCormick (no clue on how to actually book a lesson, guess I could put in their form but that seems like it would be ignored, also looks very tailored for juniors trying to make it big)

https://www.jeffislergolf.com

https://carlosbrowngolf.com/golf-instruction/ (looking for feedback)

https://timcusickgolf.com

https://www.golftec.com/golf-lessons/dallas-ft-worth/frisco (heard the same horror stories about golf tech, but they all can't be bad can they?)

https://www.dennissalesgolf.com (asked above on his teaching style)

https://www.pureswinggolf.com (looks promising)

every dfw thread people flood with Michals name, gets annoying after awhile. really makes me wonder if people have taken lessons from him or just following slicefixers cult

I'll recommend Joel Edwards @ Las Colinas CC. He's very straightforward and he knows his stuff. Former tour player so you'll get to hear some cool stories while he's helping you. He's a very genuine guy.

It sounds as if you may be located  in the Argyle area. If so I can also recommend Tyler Clark who teaches at Wildhorse Golf Club at Robson Ranch. That's where I play. You can find info on Tyler on line. My other recommendation is a long time friend otherwise I might be working with Tyler.

For anyone still looking in DFW, I found this guy out at mesquite golf club and feel like I found a Diamond in the rough! Loved his approach to golf and how he communicates. I’ll be going back a lot and feel confident he can get me where I want to go
