This is what we have to say. . .
Master 8.5 Certified Proud. . .

Certified 8.5 Proud - “Been teaching for many years. If you thought you could teach before, this program will make you an absolutely great teacher. It finally all fits together and makes sense in such a simple manner.”

Master Certified 8.5 Proud - “I have been teaching and playing for many years. I love the game. I love teaching and getting people to play with more fun. If you teach at all now - you have to do this program! This will make you an absolutely great teacher. It breaks from tradition and finally makes all that stuff fit together making sense in such a simple manner.” Earnest Collins

”I went to school for over two years and was taught the “traditional way. It did not work effectively at all. For two years I was taught incorrectly. Golf 8.5 is the only way to go! Makes it so simple for everyone - teacher and player!” Troy Tomlinson
