Dear Jason,

Absolutely Fantastic ! I came to the School with no understanding of why my shots did what they did. I'm leaving with a clear picture of what my swing should be. Prior to attending the School, the best score I had ever shot was 16 over par. On day three ( the last day ) of the School I played 18 holes with Jason , I shot 9 over par...AND EVEN HAD MY FIRST HOLE IN ONE !!!  That's a day I will never forget. Thank you Jason for bringing new life to my game.

Dear Jason,

I cannot say enough about the three days Gerry and I spent at Mind Power Golf School. We did extensive research into various golf schools, from Vancouver B.C. to Mazatlan, Mexico, Arizona, Florida, South Carolina, etc. We just kept coming back to your Web Site and reading the testimonials and finally calling and speaking to you. We just felt good about making the decision to sign up and get serious about our game.

I have taken golf lessons before and I would leave feeling more confused than when I began. You were the first pro that I was able to relate to since I am a left handed golfer. Jason, you have a true gift for pinpointing exactly what needs to be fixed in order to play the best game you can play and to condition your mind to envision the end result. You suggested just the right practice swings and exercises to correct the bad habits I developed and I now recognize the motions when I sway, lift my head up, pull the club AND I was very impressed with your ability to drive a left handed club--- The techniques we learned from you to improve our short game are invaluable. I have never had 7 pars in a round of golf and you are my witness. Jason Denaro, you are a true genius! We played this past weekend and I was hitting the ball straight and getting the most distance I have ever had. It felt so GREAT!! I am absolutely in L_O_V_E with my new clubs, too. You are a man of many talents! Take care Jason and I will keep you up to date on
my progress.

Dear Jason,

As a beginner,"par for the course" used to be a cliche as I had only one par to my credit in my short time at the game. After 3 days of instruction with Jason, I was successful in paring 5 of 18 holes. Jason is a patient, focused, and fun teacher.

Mary Clare Molidor - Prosecuting Attorney - City of Los Angeles, California 

Dear Jason and Rick:

The two 3 day one-on-one classes were great. I learned more in 6 days under your supervision than more than 30 years on the coarse. The smoother tempo in my swing has helped my consistency greatly and I am now confident with my short game and putting. Also, my new grip has alleviated my occasional hook and I am now able to draw the ball when I want to. I'm sure that I will consistently shoot in the 70's from now on.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Michael T. Martin (June 2001) - Osaka, Japan

Dear Jason

A short note to thank you for the wonderful time my wife and I had at the three day golf school. The facilities were great and the professional instruction first rate. no one tried to fit me into a mould, you just tried to help me get the best out of my natural swing.

I won't pretend I rushed off and became a low handicapper overnight, but I have made steady progress through continually reading your book, reviewing my notes and watching the videotape. What I have gained is a good attitude, learned how to release stress and am now hitting the ball straight, and for me far (Driver 230, occasionally 250). The new clubs are awesome. I wish I hadn't waited as long as I did to get them. They have also contributed to my ball striking. The putting and chipping techniques are paying dividends, Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I especially want to thank you for the kindness shown my wife. Her Alzheimer disease has prevented her from playing much golf. But your kindness and patience allowed her to continue golfing longer than I could have hoped.  Our heartfelt thanks to you and your staff for a worthwhile, rewarding experience.

Dear Sean,
The 3 day one-on-one was really a pleasure. I felt comfortable from the moment I shook your hand. The best part is that I learned many new drills and fixes and was able to correct a few bad habits I had developed. The real test of my success for me was the 18 hole course play on the third day. I have never, prior to working with you, been able to hit a shot off the first tee without the dreaded "tee-off-itism". That day, as you witnessed, I was able to keep the ball in the middle of the fairway - just where I wanted it! I should also mention here that the use of the Diva 3 wood and your instruction on hitting my woods led me to be able to hit that custom club (by Jason Denaro) about 200 yards straight down the fairway later that morning. That was the most glorious feeling I have ever had on the course! I had actually been afraid to use the woods and driver prior to your instruction. Last, I'd like to thank you for helping me to develop a smoother tempo on my backswing and downswing. The notion of coming up with something to tell myself during the swing to stay in tempo has helped my consistency 100%.

I had an ugly short game before I arrived in San Marcos and our work on the second day was not only exciting for me, but gave me the sense of how it should feel to hit a proper chip, pitch and lob. I had never had it explained to me so that I could transfer that information to the course. I am no longer afraid of the short game - I welcome it! I am no longer afraid of the tee shot - I welcome it! So, now I can finally go out with my best golf buddy and not feel like a hacker. I've always liked the game, but now I get to enjoy it more because I am much more satisfied with my play. I've also learned to self-analyze in a way I could not before.

All in all, I wish I had done this about 7 months ago when I had first come across the Mind Power website. I should also say that the size of the class made your particular school attractive. Six hours a day with a teacher, working on exactly what I needed, not some others in the class, saved me time and money.  Sean.....I'll be seeing you again when I need some refining!

Doctor Jay:

I had an interesting round yesterday....first of all - the wind was howling - I mean, my hat blew off half a dozen times, and you had to seriously worry about getting blown off of elevated tees. I am not kidding - I have NEVER played in wind like it! 

Anyway - due to the wind - I really had the THINK about each and every shot - pure concentration - kind of Zen-like..."mind over matter" - I'll give you an example - 168 yard par-three - down hill - I know from experience that six iron is too much and seven iron is about right. Jason - I saw the wind, I saw the pin - and I hit THREE WOOD!! It was the right club. I got on and made par! The round was full of shots like that - shaping them with crosswind, hitting full sand wedges from 40 yards into the wind and driving 320 yard par-fours with the gale at my back (sorry - I missed the 5 foot eagle putt!!) But it was a round of mind power, let me assure you! Anyway - I have had trouble with this course since it opened. Scores in the 90's - a 90, a few 91's - even a 92. My best score there EVER was an 87. 

So - I go out yesterday - totally relaxed because - well, shoot....I can't expect to
score well in wind like that!! 40 mile an hour gusts (NO LIE!!) From the opening tee shot until I finished - I was in a zone - I had to think about the wind, ball placement in my stance, how hard to swing, club selection (sometimes UP seven clubs!) The wind even had an effect on every putt - NO DOUBLE BOGIES!!! One Birdie - Four over on the front -three over on the back for a smooth 40-39=79 "Mind Power!! What a gift!! Thanks for all your help over the past two years!!".

Jason,

Just thought you would like to know. I played in a tournament yesterday at Newport Beach Country Club. This is where they hold the senior golf tournament in January. I had a 74 and was 1 under for the back nine. I was killing the ball, putting lights out and chipping great

Take care.

Hello Jason,

Told you I would send you this letter, but only after I gave my new game a real testing. So here is my assessment of your Instruction at my 3 day School. One word springs to mind in describing 'The Doc'.....Magician!! Jason assured me that he would reduce my 23 handicap by at least 6 strokes. I want ALL who read this letter to believe me when I say that I dropped 12 ( yes ... twelve !! ) strokes of my rounds just from the amazing chipping and putting technique that ' The Doc ' brainwashed into me. I have never seen a player able to drain so many shots from ANYWHERE off the green as Jason. His chipping and break reading method is so failproof. It has reduced my putts by an amazing number. I am not suffering the frustration of 3 putt greens any longer and am having more than my share of one putt holes. He has made it VERY easy to save par. My average round since the School is now in the low 80's. My pre-School best score was 93. I know I will be in the 70's real soon. One suggestion Doc. What makes you such a GREAT teacher is your PASSION. It really comes through in your communication . BUT PLEASE ...take some time out to sssslow down. I know how much you apply yourself, but I want to know that you will be around for many years to come..... you have TOO much to give to this great game of golf...and I need you around to get me into the 70's!!!!! If I can be of service to you at any time, please do not hesitate to contact my offices in New York. Your disciple always.

J. Brent Maxwell, Statten Island, N.Y.

Jason Denaro and Mind Power Golf School is unique in the golf teaching world. Having played as a child and competitively as a teenager, then dropping the sport for 20 years, Jason was able to find in me the "pure" golfer (or at least the pure golf tendencies) I could always have been. His approach is very quiet; he watches and listens, tries to learn what motivates each golfer and what prior athleticism each brings to the sport. I learned more on the third day than on the first. He learned more that day too. His approach is cumulative - you will hit more golf balls than you ever dreamed possible and he will help you to develop a muscle memory and confidence in that memory to take your game to the course. He is brilliant with the short game; I have taken a staggering number of shots off my game with better approach shots. He told me not to play on the course for a month, practicing at the range and on the putting green instead. ! ; I didn't listen because I had already signed up to play in a competition one week after my return. I took 6 strokes off my best previous round, but the most significant thing about my game was that I did not have all good holes; I had a bad hole but seemed to have a new ability to go to the next tee and start the game anew. Jason is a brilliant teacher and a wonderful human being.

Laura Bracken-Clough, Seattle, OR

Dear Jason,

We wanted to take a few minutes to tell you how much my wife, Victoria, and I enjoyed your golf instruction. I've taken many lessons, but never reduced my score. With you, my index dropped 5 strokes. Victoria, being a beginner, dropped 20 strokes after your 3 day school. She is also more positive and excited about the game and her prospects of further improvement. Thanks for the fun.

Stephen H. Pettigrew Esq., Attorney At Law, San Francisco, CA

Jason,

After spending two days at the Mind Power Golf School with Jason Denaro, I made a few adjustments to my swing that has allowed me to hit the ball much more solidly. Using video analysis, Jason was able to spot the fact that my club face was closed on the take away. After giving me a pointer, I immediately began to catch the ball flush. Even though there were 3 of us at the school, Jason takes the time to individually tailor his teachings to the specific student. I am much more confident in my swing thanks to Jason. I definitely would recommend him from beginners to the low handicapper.

Albert Chou, Student U.C.L.A, Los Angeles, CA

Dear Jason,

Kathy and I would like to thank you for the wonderful experience we had attending your Golf School recently. My golf scores are consistently lower then they have ever been which is reflected in my handicap going from a 13 to 10.  Most important, I am now making better contact with the ball then I ever have in almost 35 years of golf.

Kathy has also progressed tremendously and is actually enjoying the game for the first time in her life. We can't thank you enough for the patience and insight into a very complicated game.

Robert E. Goldstein, Attorney At Law, Foley & Lardner, San Diego, CA

Jason,

I think your were right-trying to play 18 holes the day after your school was a bit too much to handle. I was still absorbing at the physical and mental adjustments to be able to focus on playing the game. But I've since been to the driving range a few times and feel I'm hitting the ball well. Last weekend I played a par 3-9 hole course with some friends and shot a +8 over par, one of my best rounds there and the best of the group that day.

I feel like I finally understand the mechanics of the classic golf swing- hip rotation, hand position, feeling the weight of the club head throughout the swing, balance & weight transfer, etc. It's such a novel feeling for me. My only worry is that since I have practiced my new swing a few times at the range, it's starting to feel normal instead of novel! I guess that's a good thing.

I'm playing tomorrow morning. I bought a new Clevelend Quadpro fairway wood today that I am eager to try out. I'll let you know how it goes.

Roger Chen, Student U.C.L.A, Los Angeles, CA

Dear Jason,

Yesterday I WON the Northern Nevada Womans Amateur Championship (1 stroke net ). It was a two day event at Wolf Run. Tuesday I shot an 89 (net 71 ) and on Wednesday I shot an 84 (net 66 ). Sixty women were entered AND I WON. I received a beautiful Baccarat Crystal statue of a lady golfer and $225 credit in the Pro Shop. I am so excited. I WON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU JASON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
