Lauren is a GREAT golf instructor. I've had lessons from others before and I have to say Lauren's have been the most helpful by far. She always follows up with a text summary of the changes we've made, so I can work on drills and keep up the momentum. Nothing gets you more enthusiastic about golf than playing better golf! And that's what Lauren can do for you.

If you’re thinking of taking a golf lesson, then give Lauren a chance; my 45 minute lesson was time well spent. Lauren has a great attitude, listens, and gives instruction that is easy to implement (and works!). If you want to hit the ball better and have some fun, then take a lesson from Lauren.

Sorry this is Pamela Sawdey not Art. For the amount of time we had Lauren was excellent and outlining several tips to assist us in improving our swing path, grip and striking of the ball. Found it extremely helpful. Might want to take an individual lesson for short game.

Lauren is very professional and gave us a good clinic in using our irons and woods. She took the time to work with everyone in the short time we had. I look forward to taking a lesson from her to improve my game.

Lauren provided a great balance of demonstration with discussion on customizing skills based on personal preference. The class was a great overview for those with limited exposure to golf. A great stepping stone class for those ready to invest in skills development.

Solid first lesson from Lauren. Established area(s) that need improvement, used video to help support flaws, proposed easy to understand modifications, and concluded with some drills to take to the range. I also appreciated the insight on how to best approach working changes into actual rounds. Obviously it's up to the student to practice and execute the drills, but I'll probably be scheduling another appointment trusting she'll remember me and my shortcomings so we can expedite results.

It was a pleasure working with Lauren. She quickly identified swing improvements that I know will improve my golf game. It was a birthday gift to myself, and worth my investment. I hope to check in as the season starts. Great lesson.

Lauren does a wonderful job of teaching kids to develop a consistent foundation. My daughter’s first lesson focused on rotation during the backswing and follow through. Lauren provided her with a practice drill to work on before her next lesson. The second lesson she focused on swing control and structure. In 2 lessons my daughter is hitting her 9 iron 75 yards...pretty impressive considering she could never hit her irons.

I highly recommend Lauren.

My first lesson with Lauren was of benefit 5 minutes into it. After a few of my normal mediocre strikes she pointed out how my hands were to close to my body at set up. Changing that and an adjustment to my takeaway improved ball striking MUCH better. Very patient and communicates in a way that is easy to soak in. Was going to take 2 lessons but will now take 5. Very much looking forward to it!

I found the lesson very helpful. Lauren praised the positive things and still made corrective comments to help our games. I came out of the lesson with multiple things to focus on with my game (but not overwhelmingly trying to completely change my game). I would like to take future lessons with Lauren. I would call her an exceptional instructor. Terry Daum

This past Thursday I met with Lauren Tallman for a club fitting. As always Lauren was well prepared for our session. She shared information and suggestions in a very comfortable way. She never makes you feel rushed. I appreciate how she personalizes each session. She is a wonderful resource and I look forward to my upcoming lessons.

I had another great lesson with Lauren Tallman on Thursday, September 3rd. The lesson was a good variety of activities to improve my golf game. It included a warm up, playing several holes and then work on the putting green. With each component of the lesson Lauren's feedback was helpful. She is very good at giving feedback and making sure she does not overwhelm you. I was able to implement her suggestions when I played golf the next day. Thank you Lauren!

Hadn't had a lesson in years, but this is the first of many to come with Dan.
Great guy, great use of video ... and simplifies the lesson into one or two swing thoughts to leave with.
It's obvious Dan has a deep teaching resume and he has a great way of communicating based on his student's level of experience and knowledge.
The only thing keeping me going back for a second lesson is my desire to hit the range a great deal to practice what I've learned.
Great value!!!

Lauren arrived early and actually met me in the parking lot. It was nice to have help getting acclimated since I had never been to Ravenwood before. My lesson was very individualized rather than "boxed" and the result was great. So far I have been able to bring my 9 hole score back to the lower 40's, rather than mid to upper 40s. Thank you Lauren.

I've taken lessons with both Dan and Lauren and think the world of both of them, both personally and professionally. It takes a lot of patience to work with my golf swing, as there are so many things wrong with it. Both Lauren and Dan are great at picking out one thing to work on first (the thing that's holding me back most), then when I have that (somewhat) fixed, we move on to the next. Golf had started to be 'not fun' for me cause I was striking the ball so poorly, but these two have helped make the game enjoyable again.

If something doesn't make sense to you, he will try another approach until you're on the same page. I would recommend him to anyone.

I highly recommend Lauren Tallman as golf professional. To start, Lauren is an effective communicator and quickly establishes rapport with her students. A key element to receive instruction is to help the student feel at ease and comfortable; and Lauren sets the tone to encompass a safe space where growth can happen. Within one lesson I was able to gain confidence in my golf swing, and have a better understanding of how to self-correct. During the instruction she simplifies the steps by creating modifications that are practical and will provide constructive feedback for areas of improvements. My only regret is I wish I would have started sooner!

I do not feel that her advice is cookie cutter in any way.

This was my first golf lesson! It was an incredible experience! Lauren is an incredible teacher who is able to break down the golf swing into bite sized chunks that I could understand and use. Her patience and ability to communicate in visual references made me feel a sense of success right away! She sent me videos of my swing with reminders from the lesson to keep the lesson alive. I would most highly recommend Lauren as a golf instructor!
She is also fun and warm and super positive!!
