***CHECK OUT THE TEXTS MIKE RECEIVES FROM HIS STUDENTS ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS ON THE 'PHOTOS and AWESOME TEXTS' LINK PAGE
"Mike is a fantastic coach. I feel like I just took a great first step to my goals."
Steve Christenson
"Thanks for everything Mike. You're a helluva instructor."
George S
"You're a great coach. You can quote me on that."
Ben Drake
"Mike V is a tremendous teacher of the game. Mike has brought me from a 101 to a 78 in a matter of 5 months. Mike has an incredible ability to get a player rapidly better within sessions. My goal is to make it to the PGA Tour, and I know Mike V can help me get there. I would highly recommend Mike to any golf player!"
Dylan Crane
"My first lesson with Coach Mike went very well. He started me out with putting then chipping and finished with the full swing. I can't wait to practice and play my next round. If you are looking for a golf coach, give Mike a call. You will not be disappointed."
Sonnie D
"Thanks for a great lesson today. Everything is coming together and really enjoying the game again. Thanks again!"
Bill S
"Mike has been outstanding. His easy way of explaining and demonstrating proper mechanics of the golf swing helps build confidence. We focused on wedges, pitching, and putting and he showed how to take stress out of my swing through pendulum motion of the club. He also helped with squaring the club, targeting areas prior to the golf shot, and follow through. I look forward to more lessons and significant improvements in my game."
Paul Allison
"I feel like I have already made an incredible improvement in my golf game after just 2 lessons. All thanks to you. I have a whole new perspective on approaching each shot and making it a target game. Having the ability to fly the ball low or high is a DEFINITE plus! So far I am really enjoying every lesson and feel like I am taking away valuable information that can really transform my golf game. Can't wait until the next lesson!"
Max Shapiro
"It's been a pleasure having lessons with Mike. 3 lessons in, I have seen noticeable differences in my swing and a better understanding of how to hit the ball. I am excited to see my progress 3 lessons from now."
Nick Scallion
"I was very pleased with my initial lesson with Mike. 5 stars!"
Michael Reed
"Mike was a great coach for someone who is just starting their golf game. Very patient and great techniques so you start off with good habits. Each swing, he makes sure to fix all parts and lists out the different pointers to go through when you approach. Definitely be taking a lesson with Mike again."
Adam Salkovitz
"Mike is a great teacher. Mike personally talked with me about my game and worked longer with the classmates who seemed to need more work. He wanted me to focus on chipping and putting saying that my long irons and woods would benefit from the short game work. I have already signed up for my next golf lessons."
James Thompson
"Mike is a great instructor. He uses positive reinforcement but is also not afraid to call you on something if you aren't 'getting it'. I enjoyed his teaching method very much."
Ellen Galant
"I have had the pleasure of learning a lot from Mike and have seen a big improvement in my game from his tips and tutelage."
Justin Keith- PGA Golf Pro (PB Dye GC)
"Coach Mike's knowledge and approach to golf teaching is excellent. He has provided me with tips and awareness of my weaknesses so that I can improve my golf game."
Eric Liou
"I have developed a greater bond for the game in part due to the infectious love of golf that Mike has shown to me."
Marcus Bain- Publisher
Maryland State Golf Association Magazine
Philosophy
Mike's huge following is due to the spectacular swing improvement, lower scores, and new or heightened joy of the game by his students. Backed by classic and newer swing ideas and rhythm, Mike provides the drills, video, repetition, encouragement, and coaching to reach the student and make the necessary changes whether it be the long game or short game. Influenced by the best ball strikers like Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, Annika Sorenstam, and Moe Norman, and the top teachers like Ernest Jones, Doug Edgar, Mike Austin, and Bob Toski, Mike tailors a plan for each player to maximize their potential in the long and short games so that scores are dramatically lowered. Mike uses unique drills and repetition to make a player practice as if they are on a golf course. The perennial golf quote "The longest walk in golf is from the driving range to the 1st tee" will become lost in translation as you advance with Mike. He focuses on chipping, pitching, and putting as much as the driver and irons.

Whether your goal in golf is breaking 100, 90, 80, 70, improving a part of your game, or getting started, Mike will help you achieve your goal.
