MARIO AND THE COACH

This is to describe is how much Coach Lloyd helped improve my golf game;  We met in October 2015 in Gulfport, Florida, and we’ve remained in contact since.  We play one round together, along with his friends, before he returned to Canada.  

He offered advice on putting and chipping.  I followed his putting practice routine--making three putts from 3', 6', 9', 12', 15', and son; furthermore, I followed his chipping advice and have seen recent success—most significant was winning our flight in a 3-day two-man best ball tournament at Avila Country Club in Tampa.  My chipping and putting were much improved after Coach Lloyd’s guidance.  My partner and I overcame a six-stroke lead going into the last day and won our flight.  I attribute my success to Coach Lloyd’s advice about being confident in my ball striking ability, working on putting and chipping, and finally, trusting his positive reinforcement about my game.  

Thanks, Coach Lloyd; you inspired me to new heights in my golf game, albeit at the local level.
