It's hard to sum up how phenomenal Scott Downing's approach to teaching and perfecting the game of golf is. Our daughter Ava has been taking instruction with Scott for just over a year and her love and knowledge of the game has grown significantly in this short time. Scott really gets to know the children and relates to them as an individuals with a calm and encouraging approach. During instruction he takes the extra time necessary to break things down to a way they will understand. Team is his motto, At lessons he helps us as parents equally, giving advice on game management and explaining techniques so we can all work together as one solid unit. The effectiveness in his team approach can be seen in results, at age 9 she can now manage her game at a comparative level and has shaved off an average of 10 strokes per round since she first started with him." Can't wait to see what the future holds for the team!

When I was going into my Sophomore year of high school my father and I reached out to Scott for a club fitting and possible future lessons. From that day forward, a great friendship began. Throughout our first meeting, it was easy to see that he was passionate about teaching the game of golf and helping his students strive to be the best player they can be. Over the last 7 years of instruction, Scott has helped develop my game into what it is today. Whether it was playing in the State Finals in high school, committing to play college golf for a traditionally great program at Marian University, helping the team win a conference championship, playing in back to back NAIA National Championships, or rising to a career best individual ranking of 42nd in the NAIA, my confidence in my abilities never wavered thanks to my trust in Scott’s ability to teach the game of golf.

Beth Allison

He was easy to understand and the combination of instruction and video showed me exactly what I needed to do. I have taken other and he helped me more than anyone else. I highly recommend Scott as an instructor. I live in another state and was only visiting FL, but will take a lesson from Scott again when I am back in FL.

Nick Ohrt

Excellent teaching using high tech equipment and drills to improve my swing. Videos with explanatory voice over for "home studying". Very pleasant company and a seasoned pro. Couldn't have asked for a better teacher.

Howard Gagne

Scott has broken down my old swing and is in the process of working me into a new swing. I am very happy that I chose Scott as my teacher. I have been playing golf for over 40 years off and on and just now beginning to understand what a golf swing should look and feel like? I had doubts about changing my game but he has given me new hope!

Jim Bird

Very knowledgeable about the golf swing. Easy to understand and uses drills to get you to feel it, uses video so you can see it. Gives you a plan of action to improve your game. Very professional.

David Leonardo

Scott was excellent in all aspects with my lesson from start to finish. His analysis of my swing was spot on. We made corrections and I was able to see immediate results. He did not rush me through the process. The extra time we spent was much appreciated. He is a true professional golf instructor. I highly recommend Scott Downing.

Tom Fowler

A few years ago I was in a really bad accident, my left knee, femur and hip are all titanium. Scott worked with me, with the patience of a saint, and got me back to hitting the ball correctly in a matter of 2 weeks. I can't say enough good things about this instructor. If you put in the work, he will get you figured out!
