Our entire family has taken lessons with Dan. He is an awesome instructor for all levels and ages. He is wonderful with the kids! We would highly recommend him to anyone.
Dan is an effective instructor, who helps you make corrections to your swing, without talking down to you. Ive learned a lot during a single lesson that was able to shave 6 strokes from my previous best game. Highly recommended!
I have only had one lesson in my golf career and it was at Lock Golf Academy. Last summer before I met with Dan I was consistently shooting 97 and up (just hoping to break 100). After working through some kinks in my swing, I can now say that I am consistently shooting 90 and below. Dan has shaved 7 strokes off of my game. I would recommend anyone to him, he is great and easy to work with. Going back for another lesson, this summer hopefully a few more stokes off of my game again.
Dans a great golf instructor. You can tell he knows all the common swing faults and drills to correct them. He helped me a lot with not keeping my shoulders square at impact and helped my girlfriend with making more consistent contact. I dont know if well be able to continue going to him since cattails is so far from where we live but if he was closer we would definitely see him regularly.
I’ve never had anyone take me and teach me so much even in just my first hour. Very friendly and very focused. All in all a great experience and I’m already hitting the ball so much better! I’ll definitely be back for more!
Dan is a fantastic teaching pro! I cannot speak highly enough. He was clear and articulate. He was able to teach me so much about the fundamentals of the golf swing that I had never understood (or never clicked). He used a nice iPad app to take video of my swing and to highlight areas for improvement. This was very helpful! He was also able to give me a few excellent drills that I could take to the range to keep practicing. I will definitely be going back for additional lessons.
Highly recommend the Get Golf Ready program with Dan. My wife and I took it in the Spring of 2018 and were extremely pleased with how much we were able to learn from a beginner program. Dan was a great instructor to work with and learn from.
Dan Lock is a great guy and excellent golf instructor. An hour lesson with Dan has done wonders for my swing and I am looking forward to my next lesson.
A group of us took Get Golf Ready lessons. This was a fantastic 5 week program and Dan is a top of the line instructor. He taught me so much that now my husband, dad, and five of his friends are taking the same class. I highly recommend it.
After many years of trying to self teach, I finally decided to seek professional help to improve my golf experience. I spent an hour with Dan during which he showed me a few adjustments to my grip, alignment, and club positions at setup. I was astonished at the immediate improvement in my ball striking, trajectory, and flight path. I quickly gained confidence in the adjustments and took them out to play a round at the Cattails course. My tendency to hit behind the ball and pull the ball to the left was gone. I normally shoot in the low 80s, but finished with a score of 73 with 3 birdies and an eagle. Now if I can get back with him to improve my chipping/putting, I will be well on my way to playing the kind of game I have been craving.Thank you Dan for the very productive tweaks!
2013 I took my first short game lesson with Dan. It helped me dramatically around the greens. I have continued to take private lessons with Dan ever since and have seen a vast improvement in my game.
Dan has been giving my son, AJ, golf lessons for over 6 years. Dans instruction has helped AJ immensely. Last year he was able to make the varsity golf team as a freshman, and he also made his way to the finals of the Meijer Junior Golf Tour. Without high quality instruction, my son would not be having these opportunities. And, Dan has given AJ a deep love for the sport, so in 2 years he will be pursuing a degree in golf management. Dan was pivotal in making our son excited about golfing for life. If you want to make your golf game exceptional, while developing a passion for the sport, take lessons from Dan. You wont be disappointed. He is especially good with new players: young and old. At the same time, Dan knows how to help a player achieve excellence and gain a competitive edge. Dan Lock is generous with his time and has a great deal of patience. We recommend him without any reservation.
