YOU GET RESULTS "Bill, thanks for the email and for the information on referrals. I hope to get some of our friends and family to venture out your way. Cath and I really enjoyed ourselves and feel we have made great strides toward learning to play. I’m attaching a photo of us with Frank (and one with Frank and Cathy) in front of your “tent” that we took to remember our time with you. We haven’t been out to the driving range or to the golf course to play but we have been running on our favorite route that is on a golf course and I am developing my strategy for the holes we run by every day. When we can actually get out to play, I’ll be ready. Thanks again for treating us beginners with such respect and for making us ready to hit the links. We had a wonderful time and learned an incredible amount." Ann – Canton, MA "Let me start by saying that I was treated in a first class manner. The accommodations were outstanding; the instructions were also outstanding and the location in Temecula was gorgeous. After researching golf schools and talking to the various individuals associated with those schools, Temecula Valley Golf School was the clear winner for me to attend. The 5-day school exceeded all of my expectations. As you know, I came to you with little experience playing golf. However, I left the school with the skill and confidence to play a full round of golf. Temecula Valley Golf School is the absolute best golf school." Mike – Thousand Oaks, CA "We enjoyed meeting you all and had a fantastic time. I wish we could have stayed longer. Bill is a great instructor and has a really good eye. My short game was immediately impacted for the better and as I work through the adjustments to my swing that Bill pointed out I’m sure I’ll be taking several strokes off my game. We’re looking forward to another trip to Temecula. It was very much worth the trip!" Thanks, John – Tokyo, Japan
