Testimonials

“Golf for me was always something I wanted to take to another level. After working with several other instructors, I didn’t think that was possible. Cary has convinced me the next level is very reachable. For as high tech and in-depth the lessons are, Cary translates with great ease and precision how the swing should work. I have seen my handicap plummet and I am extremely excited to see how low it can go. I would recommend Cary to any golf skill level for sure.”

-Paul Abbott, Former Major League All-Star Baseball Player (Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Indians, Seattle Mariners, Kansas City Royals, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and Philadelphia Phillies)

 

“I was a golf junkie. If I heard a pro was a good teacher, I’d seek him out and take lessons. My quest to find a great teacher finally ended with Cary Schoen. I regularly drive four to five hours to take lessons with Cary because he knows more about the golf swing than anyone I’ve ever met. I’m not exaggerating. I’ve been playing golf since I was ten years old. I learned from John Schlee who came in 2nd in the first professional tournament he ever played, the U.S. Open. In the years since I’ve been to many of golf’s so called top 100 pros, none of them know as much as Cary and none can communicate better. Plus, there’s a bonus…Cary lives and breathes golf and is deeply committed to his students. He’s obsessed with making sure you understand the game and you are working on the right things. If you study with Cary, you don’t just get a few helpful tips or drills or a slickly produced video. You get a guy determined to make you the best golfer you can be.”

“To whom it may concern: I have spent 34 years in professional baseball and have had the great pleasure of listening to, working with, and learning from some of the best teachers in the history of the game. Often I would wonder how they were able to understand the flaw in a player’s body mechanics and then how to approach each player in a different way and in the only way that player would understand. I think it is an innate ability given to them at birth. Cary has that special ability. After working with Cary and learning about my own body mechanics within my golf swing, I began shooting scores I never dreamed of shooting. I broke 70 for the first time in my life and did it 5 times in one month! I understand that improvement is an ongoing process and for the first time in my golf life, when I run into problems on the course, I have my own personal mechanical checklist I can refer to enabling me to make adjustments and get my swing working again. Because of the muscle memory I am developing physically in my body, the mental fear about hitting certain shots is gone. Cary is by far the best teacher of body mechanics within the golf swing that you could hope to find.”

“I found out about this guy who played at the University of Michigan and was now teaching golf at the local academy. I heard what he was doing was different than other golf professionals. I was intrigued. Describing what Scott was doing as “a little different,” was a massive understatement. I had taken golf lessons from a number of P.G.A Professionals and was always subjected to the same old laundry list of random swing tips. I would always do what my instructor told me but never knew why I was doing it. Scott’s ability to explain what I’m supposed to be doing and its relationship to the entirety of the motion is the reason I have drastically improved my golf game. I went from regularly shooting in the high 80’s to regularly shooting in the 70’s over the past two years of his instruction. I have never left a lesson confused about what I’m trying to accomplish. Speaking as a teacher, I immediately recognized that Scott has a tremendous passion for teaching. That, coupled with his capacious knowledge of the golf swing, makes him an exceptionally rare find.”
