David is the epitome of professional. He has a phenomenal process and clearly communicates each position of your swing without over complicating it. I deal with nerve issues and he was able to work around it and had me hitting my driver like I was 20 years ago. A TRUE PROFESSIONAL AND ALL AIN'T GREAT GUY.

David Schmütz has been coaching both my son and daughter for the past two years, and the progress they’ve made with their golf game has been incredible. His approach is thoughtful, encouraging, and tailored to each of their needs—and it shows! Just recently, both of my kids (on different days!) came home saying it was their best lesson yet. They were excited, motivated, and most importantly—hitting the ball better than ever.

David has a real talent for connecting with young athletes and helping them grow not only in skill but in confidence. He knows how to push them just the right amount while keeping the game fun and engaging. As a parent, there's nothing better than seeing your kids fired up about learning and loving the sport.

We’re so grateful to have David as our coach—he’s truly made a lasting impact on our family’s golf journey.

David is a 1000% rock star coach - I love his focus on each player's swing and not trying to fit everyone into one generic way of doing things.

His philosophy of the game and how to approach improving is unique and world class - if you want to improve as a player, learn more about this wonderful game, and have more fun because you're becoming a better golfer, see David ASAP!

If you are interested in learning AimPoint Putting, it would be hard to imagine there are many in the world who can teach it as well as Coach Schmutz. Not only is he an expert teaching AimPoint, he also understands every athlete is different. He teaches in a way that is easy to understand and fun! Thank you, coach, for an excellent session!

Dave provided, by far, the most comprehensive and most enjoyable putting clinic I have ever had. I started the day with very little confidence in my green reading ability and speed control. By the end of the day, I was reading/feeling the greens with confidence, making much better putting stokes, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute out there on the green. If the opportunity to attend one of Dave’s putting clinic opens up, I would highly recommend attending. Appreciate all your help, Dave!

What a lifesaver, David is wonderful. My daughter was in St Augustine for a 54 hole tournament and needing some help troubleshooting a swing defect. She called at 4pm Saturday and requested an emergency lesson, he was happy to help and we drove there immediately. David was Very knowledgeable and helped my daughter identify the issue, and dial her in. What a lifesaver!!!! Thanks so much

Dave was amazing!! My wife bought me and my 2 teenage sons a lesson for Father’s Day. He did such a great job at explaining the basics of the golf swing to my sons and they are excited about playing the game now. During my lesson, I was able to analyze my swing and ways to improve consistency. I look forward to continuing lessons here in the future!!

Dave has been coaching our son for about 2 months, and I can’t believe how much he has improved in that short time. The progress he’s made is absolutely remarkable. And he loves Coach Dave. Really enjoys his lessons at Golf Etc. Dave has helped him become so much more confident and helped ignite his competitive fire. I’d highly recommend Dave and Golf Etc to anyone who wants the best instruction for their kids. We couldn’t be more pleased and impressed.

I have been an occasional golfer for 30 years, but finally decided to take a lesson. I signed up with Joe for the 4 month program and I cannot say enough positive things about it. Joe was easy to work with, professional and a good communicator. He not only improved my grip, approach, alignment and swing, but he fitted me for new golfs and made other equipment recommendations.
The simulators at Golf ETC are awesome. After Joe taught me what to look for in the shot data I was able to analysis each swing on the range and make on-the-spot corrections.
My 4 months are up and I can honestly say that I have dropped 10-12 strokes and I have a new found confidence on the course. Golf is way more fun in the fairways and hitting greens in regulation.
I also want to thank David. He was not my coach but he was very knowledgable and always helpful on days I came in for some range time.
I also enrolled my two daughters (12 and 7 years old) in Golf ETC's golf camp. The girls had a blast and actually want to go play golf now.

I HIGHLY recommend Golf ETC.

I took advantage of the free swing analysis lesson a few weeks back with RJ and am truly blown at how to the point the coaching was. He made sure to have a couple of key takeaways from the lesson so I wasn't working on too many things at once. When I was able to finally make it back on to the course, I felt more confident than ever with my control than ever. I highly recommend any player that's looking to improve their game to check out Golf ETC.

I went to Golf Etc to meet with David, the teaching pro and owner. David is a very cordial and polite individual and really wanted to understand your goals and needs as a player. He was sincerely interested in making you a better player not collecting a check.

When he says he could get me from a +8 down to scratch, I certainly believe him. He invested in some of the best technology on the market. The GolfTec franchise is far inferior to what David provided as far as feedback, drills, physiology of the swing and helping me to understand it all is the biggest part. Also to mention, he doesn't try mold everyone's swing into the same swing. Leaving GolfTec left me more confused and frustrated. Leaving David at Golf Etc made me super excited to reach another level of play. His packages cater to all levels. If you want to reach your goals as a golfer, big or small, and have the time to practice, no one is better to learn from!

I highly recommend giving him a shot!
