Fredrick is very knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. He has a love for the game and helping people enjoy the game of golf.

He has very strong communication to help things click for a lesson.

The best part about his approach is working with your swing and improving upon it.

I’m 48 years old and I had my first golf lesson of my life today. I learned a lot about my swing and myself as a golfer. Frederick is such a great teacher he really helped me understand What I need to do to get a better swing with my body type. It was nice to not walk into a one-size-fits-all situation and you he makes you feel special because he caters the lesson to you and your abilities instead of making you only fit what they want to teach I look forward to many more lessons.

After playing golf for 15 years, in order to take my game to the next level, I signed up for my first golf lesson. Not knowing what to expect, Coach T and I started with a conversation about what I was looking to achieve and strategy on how to get there. He is a great listener and cues in to the little details to help find YOUR swing. I look forward to my continued with with Coach T.

I cannot say enough about Coach T’s approach to teaching. He identifies your physical characteristics and tendencies right from the get go. He then tailors his instruction to improve not only your abilities; but also your understanding and management of the game.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Coach T, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional.

Today was my very first golf lesson EVER. I have been cumulatively golfing for about 8 years as a self-taught golfer, and have always wanted lessons. My wife gifted me some lessons with Coach T and I couldn't be any happier to have him as my instructor. It was very clear that he has a deep understanding of the game and, more importantly, how to communicate that knowledge in a way that is both practical and easy to apply.

What stood out most to me was his realistic approach to improving my swing. Rather than trying to force a "textbook-perfect" motion, he focused on adjustments that worked with my natural tendencies (not to mention my limitations), body mechanics, and overall swing style. His corrections weren’t about completely rebuilding my swing but rather refining it in a way that made immediate sense and had a noticeable impact on my performance data.

Beyond technique, Coach T emphasized how to take these improvements from the practice simulator to the course. His insights on course management, shot selection, and how to make smart, confident decisions is incredibly valuable. He has a way of breaking down complex concepts into simple, actionable steps that made learning both enjoyable and effective.

If you’re looking for an instructor who is knowledgeable, patient, and committed to helping you play better golf in a way that makes sense for you, I highly recommend Coach T. His ability to tailor lessons to each golfer’s needs sets him apart. I know today was just my first lesson so far, and I am excited to have found him. I truly look forward to working with Coach T again and again--ultimately improving my skills and confidence towards a better and more enjoyable golf game. Five stars all the way!

I had my first lessson Coach T. He work with me to get my setup, so my swing would move with my body's natural path of motion. This immediately improved my ball contact. We also work on my club face position in order insure a straight ball path. By the end of my lesson, i was ready/did enroll in package lessons!

I've had multiple golf lessons over the years with very minimal results. I found The Lancaster Golf Academy on social media and after viewing Coach T's videos, I decided to give it a try. During my first lesson with Coach T, he was very informative, patient, and I never felt rushed. After analyzing my body movements, Coach T was able to work with me on a swing that works specifically for me. I immediately saw results and purchased a lesson package after out first session. After my session I was given multiple notes/tips to work on before our next session. Thanks Coach T!

If you are on the fence about lessons, look no further. Coach T has an individual approach to his coaching strategy. He chooses the best approach for your body and swing style, and doesn’t try to teach a singular way. He’s very patient and detail oriented within his coaching as well.

I had my first lesson with Coach T which was very eye-opening. I like that his approach is from a biomechanical point of view, with the understanding that the golf swing needs to be tailored to one's specific body. Looking forward to more lessons!

Lancaster Golf Academy surpassed my expectations with their exceptional service. Coach T's supportive and confidence-building approach truly stood out, making the lesson highly effective. The quiet, one-on-one environment, combined with advanced technology, ensured focused and personalized instruction. I left feeling significantly more skilled and motivated, thanks to the tailored drills and memorable teaching methods employed. I eagerly anticipate returning for more lessons to further enhance my golfing journey.

Frederick is detail oriented and thorough. He corrected every step of my swing and was able to provide useful feedback through videos, system analytics, and his own experiences. The drills/exercises he recommended to improve my swing, chipping, and driving have improved my game. I have recommended him to my friends and family and would recommend him to anyone who is looking to improve their golf game!

Fredrick is the real deal. The above and beyond attention he gave to me, my swing, and all that goes with it is why I would give an unreservedly positive review. He measured my body and my mobility to tailor my adjustments to what would make me better. After one session I saw dramatic improvement on the range and can’t wait to see what more lessons can do. Multiple 5 star reviews don’t just happen. They are earned. And his ability to connect with people on a personal level is the cherry on top. He knows his stuff and he’s kind and patient too.

My first lesson was definitely tailored exactly to my needs. In fact, once my setup and swing sequence were tailored to my physical attributes, the feeling I had swinging the club was magnificent (the exact word I used at the time). Frederick exudes confidence as an instructor, and I walked away feeling certain that I would achieve my stated goals by working with him. Can't wait to go back.

Had a great experience at my first lesson. Fredrick took time to understand my golfing background and what I was looking for. He took the time to take some measurements and do some exercises to understand what my swing should look like. Everything was very tailored to my needs and not just standard tips or drills.

He gave notes and things to work on along with drills. It was a very thorough, customized lesson and not like any of the other golf lessons I have had.

I look forward to working on my golf game with Fredrick's instruction.

I have been working with Fredrick for just under a year, he has completely transformed my game and confidence. I absolutely love his approach to the game with tailored plans for each of his students. I felt like the game was simplified personally for me. As long as you are willing to put the work in, he will lead you accomplish your goals. I highly recommend working with Fredrick no matter the stage of your golf journey.

I found Lancaster Golf Academy / Frederick on Google, after doing a lot of research on lessons and instructors in the Lancaster area. As a brand new golfer, I was looking for private lessons in a judgement-free space. I've taken 5 lessons with Frederick so far (more to come) and my progress is almost unbelievable. When I walked in week 1, I didn't even know how to hold/swing a golf club. By week 5, I had my own, signature stance and swing, and so much more confidence. I can't recommend Lancaster Golf Academy enough!

Took my first lesson this week, completely new to the sport with no prior knowledge. We started off by taking measurements to develop MY golf swing which may not look the same for everyone. Coach Fredrick explains everything he’s doing and why it’s important followed by practicing the swing with no golf ball at first. I May be a newbie but coach really does a good job at understanding what you need specifically and tailors that towards you. If you’re on the fence like I was i recommend you just book a lesson and see for yourself! I have my next lesson booked can’t wait!

I just had my first lesson with Fredrick earlier this morning. Can't recommend him enough!

As a self taught golfer playing for the last 2-3 years, I decided it was time to get some professional guidance.

During the first lesson, Fredrick takes the time to get measurements of your body and do some simple mobility tests. This allowed him to give me some tips regarding my grip and set-up that work with MY body and MY mobility rather than trying to replicate a swing that wasn't built for me.

The time he takes to talk through each drill and each movement was incredibly helpful. His knowledge around the game and his ability to apply it to amateur golfers is really, really impressive.

Already signed up for more lessons, super excited to continue working and progressing with Fredrick!

Frederick is a detail oriented, patient teacher. He took the time to analyze my swing, watch my movement, take measurements and make adjustments that allowed me to work within my body. He has all the pro level tools available in his facility to get deep into your game, and help make corrections that will get you playing at your best. After one lesson I was striking the ball pure, and gained significant distance. This is professional level golf instruction that will really help you take it to the next level. Well worth the investment if you want to improve.

Went for my first lesson and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I am a beginner level golfer and so we started with the basics of my swing motion. You not only learn the ins/outs but Frederick explains to you each step to confirm you have an understanding of each motion and why it is important. The use of the simulator gives you access to numbers that you can measure over time, whether it’s distance, flight path, degree, it’s all presented for you to set goals. I have already signed up for more lessons. Easily a good investment for anyone looking to improve/understand the game.

Highest of recommendations!

Understanding the swing:
I am a 31 year old scratch golfer who has played for 24 years. I only now, after seeing Fredrick, feel like I have a TRUE understanding of the golf swing and how sequencing creates power, control, speed, and accuracy. Having a solid foundation of why all the pieces of the swing work together, gives me the confidence I need to release stress and play freely. My swing has never been more reliable.

Differentiation:
Fredrick took the time to send me a quick personality test (which only took me a matter of minutes to complete). He used the results to molded and tailor our sessions. I believe this is a huge reason why he’s the only golf coach I’ve ever fully committed to. I understand, connect with, and enjoy our sessions. I always leave a lesson or conversation energized and eager to test myself on the course. That level of detail and care, for my benefit, absolutely sets him apart.

Mentality:
Having a solid swing is obviously important, but without the right mindset, that doesn’t necessarily lead to low scores. The mental part of the game including calming your mind, understanding shot patterns, making smart decisions, planning, routine, etc., these are the things that separate a good golfer from a great golfer. Fredrick and I have had meaningful conversations about these ideas, and it’s no surprise that I’ve had one of my best competitive years ever.

I’m extremely excited to continue working together with Fredrick and start checking off goals this off season and next year!

I have always loved the game of golf and wanted to get better. I could always just wack a ball pretty good, but I wanted to learn how to wack the ball the right way.

Met Frederick randomly at the driving range where he offered to give me some pointers. It quickly became apparent he knew what he was talking about. Since then, I have had two lessons where we identified some things to work on and I would say I have seen drastic improvement in such a short time.

Fredrick is more than a typical coach teaching the practice at hand, he understands the ins and outs of what it takes your body to allow you to be great at the practice. He takes the time to get to know you and any limitations your body may have. I have had a couple of shoulder surgeries which he makes sure that we both 'listen to' so we do not over do it. In addition, he has introduced me to some workout programs to aid in my progression which has helped me tremendously.

All in all, if you are looking to learn the game of golf, understand your own swing, improve in all facets with not only a coach, but a person who cares and listens, Fredrick is your guy!!!

I’m not even sure where to start other than that my daughter just made her high school golf team all in thanks to the work put in by Coach Taggart. My only regret is that we started lessons a month before try-outs instead of months prior. This is a guy who takes pride in what he does and wants you to be the best golfer that you can be. He’s patient and really goes above and beyond. He’s exactly the kind of guy you want teaching your child. And not just your child as my husband would love to get a lesson! If you’re new to golf or someone who is looking to tweak their game, this is the guy!!

What a great explanation of the golf swing.Fred has opened my eyes to what I need to do. Excellent exercises to get the correct sequence.

Frederick is very knowledgeable and was able to breakdown the golf mechanics in a very relatable way that I could understand. With just one lesson, I was able to see/understand that I had a sequence issue in my swing and saw how I had been able to reach a more mechanically sound position at impact throughout the lesson. As a very heavy set guy (former wrestler now 400lb man), in my head I did not believe I could change much mechanically, Frederick showed me otherwise and that was eye opening enough for me. I will definitely be going back for more lessons and look forward to improving my swing with him.

I have had a few lessons with Fredrick, and the improvement in my game is significant. He is an excellent instructor and communicator, and his relaxed approach makes things easy to understand. Fredrick doesn't overwhelm you with instruction - he takes the time to get to know you and then designs lessons that will work for you. He is by far the best teacher I've worked with, and I look forward to future lessons.

I have done 3 lesson with Fredrick now and my golf swing has made huge improvements. He is great to work with and explains each movement and its correlation to the rest of the body. He does a great job giving you drills to work on to give your body a feel for where it should be and what it should be doing. I am excited to do more.

After just 1 lesson with Fredrick, my swing has made big improvements. It showed on the scorecard too! He spent extra time to understand why I wanted help, make corrections, and explain things in detail. I'm looking forward to more lessons!
