Having Dan as an instructor, mentor, and most importantly a friend, has allowed me to develop into the professional golfer I am today. His passion and excitement for the game of golf is unmatched, and his knowledge of the game is continually growing. There is no doubt in my mind that he is fully capable and deserving of being one of the greatest instructors in America.

A: Everything!

Haley Friesch, 15 (been taking lessons since age 5)

Dan is a great instructor and has really helped me achieve many of my goals. His knowledge of the game and the swing is only surpassed by his enthusiasm and positive attitude. He is passionate about teaching golf and that passion inspires his students.
Kelly Husted, former Stanford University Women's Golf Team member

When I finished my first few golf lessons with Dan Schwabe I thought to myself, "What a great instructor." Now that I have been working with him for over five years I think to myself, "What an amazing person." Throughout my high school career there is no one else I would have rather work with. By taking golf lessons from Dan you can count improving your golf game, but more importantly you can count on having a new friend in the world of golf.

Dan Schwabe is truly, “THE MAN.” He has made golf more fun for me than it ever has been, which is what great teachers should do. When you take lessons from Dan you receive invaluable tips from a Guru in golf and, you develop a relationship with a great person. He brings amazing energy to each lesson and never fails to help my golf game. He is not intimidating and is easy to communicate with. Dan is truly unique in the field of teaching pros because he doesn’t want to impose his golf ideas on his students. He wants to be my ally in my quest to become the best golfer I can be. He has helped me immensely since I started with him. Working with Dan allows you to enjoy the game to its fullest.
Deven Hexner - Univ. of California - Berkeley golf team

I've played golf for over 40 years. Through the years I've experienced some very high quality golf. Recently, I was having some difficulty with my consistency and I could hardly break 80. Dan's eye for the golf swing and his positive energy helped me clearly understand some of my tendencies that caused my inconsistency. His advice and encouragement enabled me to regain confidence and find more consistent success. After Dan's help and while playing with him, I shot a 3 under par 33 on my next nine holes. I highly recommend Dan's golf instruction to anyone looking to learn the game and improve.
Drew Radcliffe - tournament player, hdcp. 0

I have known Dan for 15+ years and he is as dedicated and enthusiastic as ever about bringing people into the game. He has an uncanny ability to connect with people, and he establishes trust that allows confidence to build in every emerging golfer he helps.
