Looking for instructor recommendation - San Diego

[Swindon]

Hi all, time to bite the bullet, stop trying to self-diagnose and get some lessons.  I'm not far from Stadium Golf in San Diego - can anyone recommend (both for and against) instructors based here?

Cheers.

That's an easy one. @mvmac with a serious "for" of course!

I took my first lessons ever there. It was a group format which I think now is a mistake. It seems like a struggle for one instructor to go down the line of golfers and address them individually for 5 mins at a time.

I'd say the price was good. But it seemed random on who you'd get to teach.

Are you thinking of individual or group?

I dont know if she is still there, but there was a lady golf pro at the Sycuan (sp?) golf course that was pretty easy to take lessons from. She knew her stuff. I took a couple of comped lessons from her while doing the "stay and play" thing. Have not been there in a few years, so I am not sure about who is currently available.

Definitely looking for solo lessons, my current swing needs some special help!  :)

Have you thought about Evolvr? Super good bang for the buck. If it doesnt go well you can pay the $50+ to have an in person lesson, but I'd give Evolvr a shot first.

I'd like to hear how it turns out since we're in the same market. Stadium Golf has a lot of instructors. My wife actually took lessons from their one female instructor who seemed pretty good  (but I wasn't there).

Hi @Swindon, yes I'm not teaching anymore. For San Diego I would recommend Adam Porzak, he teaches at Bernardo Heights CC and Carlton Oaks. He also teaches Beau Hossler and Lee McCoy.

OT, but curious, when and why did you stop teaching?

You're right, it is

I think there's a thread somewhere.

I know he is in Orange County, but are there any opinions on Monte Scheinblum?

He has his fans.

I only know a few among them.
