Golf swings are like fingerprints with no two swings identical. I have the background, knowledge and ability to marry that uniqueness with instruction patterned for each individual. I have studied the swings of Hogan, Nelson, Snead, Palmer, Nicklaus and last but not least Woods. I have studied the teachings of many of the top teachers, and have been certified by Hank Haney as a TOP instructor and studied with his number one assistant and partner Steve Johnson who is ranked as one of the top 20 teachers in America. We can get as technical as you want to get, or we can keep it as simple as you need to have your instruction. I know there are many ways to get to where you want go, whether it seems conventional or not. The bottom line is how can we change or improve your ball flight and I have the answers. All you have to do is follow the plan.

  “Cary Lonis is a terrific golf instructor. He is a very likable guy who uses a direct, supportive teaching style that is clear and easy to understand. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Cary and I recommend him for beginners and more experienced players alike.”

  “I finally broke 80, I shot 77 at Cedar Creek yesterday. The city tournament is this weekend at Cedar Creek. Dave, the owner, said he has the pins in tough spots and they are rolling the greens to speed them up. I shot my lowest round on a tougher than normal course. I never did get any more lessons after you left, my swing thought yesterday was a “firm left side.” I just wanted to share my success with you and thank you so much for what you did for me!”

• Mike Kasperski

  “Cary, I wanted to thank you for helping me on my way to reaching my goal of playing professional golf. The last four years having you as my instructor and college coach has taught so much about the game and my college wins have given me the confidence that I needed.”
