Pretty much says it all.. Looking for a S/T instructor in the Central Cali area. Unless I want to drive to Orange County, I seem to be SOL.

Sorry, I don't know of any.  Your right in between Dana Dahlquist in Long Beach and Paul Gorman in Marin.  Dana is worth the drive if it's reasonable for you.

Yea I saw Dana was like 125$/h or something. It was my option if I was willing to drive to L.B. a couple times a week... haha

I'd much prefer closer so I have more opportunities to meet and talk.

I'd recommend evolvr as well, it's been great for my game.  The guys have a knack for communicating what you need and how to do it.  I understand you want someone local, but in the absence of that, evolvr is a great option.  It's instruction from the best.

As far as I know, we are out of luck.

I've gone to see both Gorman and Dana on separate occasions and enjoyed both. Paul was a mini-school with Bennett and Dana was a private. Both occasions were splurges for me. The hard part is keeping it up and getting feedback from someone when I need a check-up. Dan (iTeach) is doing a school in Stockton in April -- it will be worth it then. I've worked with all three and they are all great. Is what we really need is a convert in our area, though.

See Mike's post about evolvr above. Not even a "splurge." :-)

Funny enough the reason I held off from Evolvr was because I didn't have a good enough camera for swing analysis (or so I thought) However, I just splurged and bought a Casio ex-fh20.... So I feel an evolvr account coming my way here soon. The camera gets here on wednesday :)

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
