Students Say

As I wrap up my week at Wild Horse Pass, I wanted to send you a note letting you know that this has been a truly amazing experience, far exceeding my expectations. And, there is one ingredient that made it so special and that was, without question, Shirley. In my professional experience, when someone is a highly skilled specialist, that rarely translates into equally skilled abilities as a teacher. Shirley is truly unique in this regard given her accomplishments on both fronts. Bird Golf is really lucky to have such a special person as part of the team. Her patient, customized, high energy approach to teaching a returning golfer like me (with much to learn and many bad habits to break!), was incredibly effective. I am confident that I will be able to take what I’ve learned this week and improve my game significantly as I use the 32 ball drills to replace my bad habits with the ones Shirley taught me. And, while there were times we laughed about how I would be going home to get a break, I will be returning to Bird Golf to continue this amazing learning experience with Shirley. I will follow up with you to reserve time in early August at the Fort Collins facility. Thank you for your support and the outreach to make sure everything was going well. I hope you can tell that I’m a huge fan of Bird Golf and I look forward to maintaining an ongoing relationship. Thanks again, Jill Cooley Wyckoff, New Jersey Golf School: Arizona

Tim (Peightal) did a fantastic job teaching and coaching me during my five days with Bird Academy. Each day he systematically modified a part of my swing style which step-by-step added up to what feels like a great swing. It wasn’t until the third day that I realized what he was doing, which then made me eager to find out what would be improved each day. Tim taught me how to add various loft wedges to my game which gave me options I never had before. With the addition of some of Tim’s mental coaching, I should be able to reduce my handicap by 3-4 strokes (am currently a 9 handicap) as I integrate and stabilize what I learned in just a week. The best part of my experience is that it was not a complete ‘makeover’ of my swing, but rather a systematic adjustment of my basic game. The blisters are starting to heal on most of my fingers… Thanks again for a great week by one of the best! Jon Veldman Avon, CT Golf School: Florida

“I wanted you to know what a great experience we had this week taking lessons from Tim. He was a good match for us & we really enjoyed working with him. We learned a lot & also enjoyed his sense of humor. Bird Golf Academy is such a professionally run organization and our whole experience was very positive.” Tindy MacBain Ann Arbor, MI Golf School: Florida

“I want to follow up from my experience at the golf academy with Jim.  You were correct with setting me with Jim.  Good Call!  Jim communicated the information to me in a way I understand it better than ever before.  I made numerous notes that I do not normally do.  I believe if I do the work he has set before me I can cut my handicap in half this year.  Jim has to be a huge asset to your organization.  I enjoyed the experience very much and will communicate that to my fellow golfers. I would rate the session a 5 star, it is by far the best learning experience for golf I have ever had.  If you have questions or want to speak to me please do not hesitate to give me a call.” Randy Goyen Pekin, IL Golf School: Las Vegas
