Doug, I took your suggestion and I am very happy I did. Today was the first day since my lesson that I was able to get in a round of golf. What a pleasant surprise. I took 5 to 6 strokes off my game and I owe it to absorbing my mental analysis and your clear and concise golf lesson... Just thought you would appreciate some feedback from a very grateful student!

Doug, We enjoyed our family vacation at Palmetto Dunes. My family of six returned to New Jersey well rested and much improved golfers. I feel your teaching techniques and approach to my children are at the top of your industry. My children range in age from 8 thru 14 and doubled their interest in golf in one week. You made teaching and learning fun for all of us. I am a 10 handicap and have seen many golf instructors and feel many could learn from you. My oldest son is trying out for his High School golf team and your communication of the golf swing has increased his chances dramactically. Thanks for everything and we will be in touch. K.

Hello Clark, Randy "The Hole In One Guy" Lakey here. I wanted to thank you again for all that you did. You and of course Lucy made the whole experience exceptional. Your staff was so great also. Your professionalism and kindness is very much appreciated. Carol and I plan on coming back to Hilton Head next year and looking forward to seeing and thanking you again.

Thanks for all of your help last week Doug, we had a lot of fun.The golf instruction was one of the best parts of the trip, and I thought the short game II class was the best of all of them.To be honest I was just about ready to give golf before I came down to Hilton Head. I am at least encouraged about my game after the lessons. We plan on coming back next year.

Thanks for a great experience
today. Everyone enjoyed
themselves and look forward
to developing/improving
our golf games.
Keep up the good work!
You are an excellent
instructor, both inspirational
and informative. Bravo!

This past summer I had
the pleasure of attending
a two day golf school
at Palmetto Dunes with
Doug Weaver as my group
instructor. The two day
school turned into four
days of instruction,
by my choice, because
of the quality instruction
I received. Doug's enthusiasm,
expertise and positive
motivation gave me an
incredibly rewarding
experience on two levels.
On one level, I learned
a great deal about
the game of golf, a
game
I have been playing
off and on for 45 years!
As a direct result
of
Doug’s instruction
my game has improved
and perhaps even more
importantly, my understanding
of why my game has
improved has grown
as well.
On another level I
enjoyed my experience
as a student
in Doug Weaver's classroom.
I have been a public
school teacher for
35 years and there's
nothing
more rewarding for
me, a professional
educator,
than to be in the presence
of someone who can
teach effectively.
Doug naturally
integrates high level
teaching strategies
with positive motivation
and
strong interpersonal
skills making the golfing
experience enjoyable,
rewarding, and memorable.
I would have been happy
to walk away from golf
school with a few good
tips. I received plenty
of those and a good
deal more! I walked
away with
admiration for a master teacher
who happens to be a
great golfer.
I am looking forward
to this year's summer
trip to Hilton Head and
another opportunity to
meet old friends and
make some new friends
at Palmetto Dunes Golf
School.

I took a private lesson
with Doug Weaver while
vacationing at Palmetto
Dunes this past April.
Even though it was
a very busy time on
Hilton Head with the
Heritage PGA tour event,
and I called Palmetto
Dunes last minute,
Doug made me feel comfortable
and welcomed me enthusiastically
to the Trent Jones
course teaching facility.
He made me feel like
I was the most important
person he had seen
that day! He made two
simple corrections
to my golf swing and
I was amazed at the
instant improvement.
I feel relaxed and
more confident about
my golf game than I
have in years...this
from one lesson! I
will definitely be
back. Thanks Doug!

I started with the Ladies Golf School and Doug kept it so simple and effective. My game has really improved from that point on by returning to the class again and also doing a private with my husband who improved as well. The European Spa Massage certificate is an excellent way to communicate relaxed golf.

This is our third time taking lessons at PD together. We have been fortunate to have three great teachers, and this year with Doug has been outstanding. He has been a very encouraging, positive and patient teacher. We highly recommend the Monday 4:00 Exhibition where we developed our trust and confidence in him.

While on vacation, I decided to take a private lesson at Palmetto Dunes. I signed up with the Assistant Pro - Alex Magowitz. Alex watched me hit a few balls and made improvements on my swing. In addition, he explained the way the ball flight travels and within a very short time I was hitting the club much better. After the private lesson, he wrote down a few drills that I could do in my backyard. I was so impressed with him that I took another lesson on the day before I went home which went as well.
I cannot wait to go
out with my golfing
buddies and show the
new improved me. I
thank you for the direction
and Alex for all
the help he has given
me. Hopefully on
my next vacation to
Hilton Head I can take
another lesson from.

We all had a great
time at your school.
Frank was a superb
instructor and we
each learned a great
deal from his low
key instructional
style. I know we
all improved our
game greatly thanks
to him. Please thank
him for us. We all
remember his many
lessons with fondness.
Tell him I grip my
club every night!
