Students Say

After the three day 6 hours a day one on one instruction the only thing left from my old golf game is my good attitude. Talk about getting reinvented… teaching old dogs new trick.. etc. Amazing learning experience!! Lee is an outstanding teacher and mentor. I now have both a new coach and friend. If you want a Senior Poster Boy for Bird Golf, sign me up. I’d recommend the program to anyone who is really serious about improving their game.

“our compliments on our experience at Jekyll Island with Mary Mills. Our time with Mary was awesome. The location is perfect with great facilities and such friendly staff. We had absolutely no problems obtaining tee times or spots on the practice range. We told Mary her patience was “Academy Award Winning”!!!!!! We have both played a few times here and already notice a great improvement particularly in certain situations where we previously had difficulty. Thanks for an experience we will never forget.” Sincerely Linda & Dick Mills (Canada and Florida) Golf School: Georgia

I wanted to write to express how much my recent wonderful experience at the Bird Golf School exceeded my expectations. Although my friend Nancy was the one who chose Bird Golf, the school was exactly what I would have designed had I built my own school. I played regularly and confidently several years ago, winning my club championship. Two cross-country moves and one baby later, I thought I had “lost” my swing and my confidence. What I wanted from a school was to bring out what I knew I had in me, and not a school that would try to rebuild me. Bird Golf, and my four days with Shirley Furlong, were exactly that. I have always felt that when I was confident about the basics such as posture and balance, that I played my best golf because then I wasn’t worrying about anything while swinging. That was exactly the approach that Shirley took, and she reassured me that my approach to the game was the approach I should keep using. Past teachers had tried to get me to swing “faster” or “harder.” Shirley emphasized that I should stick with my natural tempo in my whole approach to the game, and then showed me how to mentally get out of my own way so that that tempo’s fluidity could come out. I don’t know how you knew Shirley would be such a great match after only a short phone call with me, but she was perfect. In addition, the resort, course, and practice facilities were beautiful, and Shirley was an absolute delight to spend four days with. I’m a teacher myself, so I can recognize that at times, I was a bit of a pain in the bum as a student — but Shirley handled that with humor, and I haven’t laughed so much in a long time. Anyway, thanks for a truly wonderful experience!
