Willamette Valley Instructor help

Pulledabill · November 19, 2020

Looking for recommendations for an instructor to help me with my over the top swing which is getting worse. I live in Keizer and work in Woodburn. Open to drive between Albany and Beaverton. Yes we have instructors in Salem/Keizer, but willing to travel for the right instructor, especially if someone has first hand experience with someone who has had their over the top move fixed by someone.

I play to a current 8 hdcp but was a 5 and golf is becoming less fun with a swing flaw which is getting worse.

Bruce Furman at Langdon Farms

What are you looking for in the instructor? Do you want to rebuild your swing? Tweak it a little? Do you like someone on the younger end or an old pro?

Bruce @ Langdon is great. But so are Brian and Amy at Henninger Golf Farm and a guy named Sean Lanyi who teaches out of different places.

I think it's safe to say virtually all the instructors you find up there can help with an OTT swing. It's about the most common flaw there is.

Also:

Nick Mabry at Meriweather

Jeff Battin at Redtail

I've had lessons from all three at various times and all are great.

Rebuild it to he honest. Ive considered Bruce and the Golf Farm looked to be a bit pricey for me. Im open on age. I thougt Sean works our of Langdon?

You are probably right on that.

Golf Farm teaches kind of a more rotational swing like a George Gankas. Bruce I see more of a quick fix kind of guy. Sean is kind of more traditional, think Louis oosthuizen or Adam Scott, he works out of Langdon down here but also Tri-Mountain and has an indoor place up in Vancouver I believe. Bruce doesn’t use a lot of modern technology (I,e., Trackman). Amy at the Golf Farm is more reasonable than Brian but Brian always is around and helps too.
