GOLFSTARTACADEMY

Chris is a great instructor and really simplifies all of the concepts in the game. He’s very knowledgeable and pays attention to the areas you want to learn.I wasn’t coming in brand new to golf, but had lots of areas of my game that need improvement. I started as a mid-high 20s handicap and am now down to a mid-high teens handicap and feel that I’m striking the ball more consistently.Even though it’s constant work to improve in your game, I feel like I know what I’m doing wrong now when I mishit and know what to focus on when I’m practising thanks to Chris’ tips. Will likely look to get more lessons in the future!

Chris stands alone. When you talk about catering he caters the lesson to your swing. I have been golfing for 3 years and 2 lessons have converted my golf game into something I don't think I would've achieved. Highly recommended and strong golf knowledge

​Chris is an amazing golf instructor! He is incredibly patient and encouraging. Prior to starting my lessons, I had never even swung a golf club. I was nervous about being able to pick up the sport, but Chris made learning enjoyable. His explanations and demonstrations were easy to understand and remember on the course. He helped me build confidence with my swing and gave great tips to improve my stance and grip. Every lesson was enjoyable, and I’ve already seen so much progress. After a few lessons, my avid golfer friends were surprised by my progress in my first year. (I even hit a birdie on my first lesson on a golf course thanks to Chris' instructions.)

 
If you're new to golf and looking for a great teacher, I highly recommend Chris!

I’d been golfing for a few years but wanted a more consistent swing. Chris quickly spotted a few issues and gave me simple changes that made a noticeable difference. Really good value compared to other private golf lessons I looked at in the GTA. Highly recommend GolfStart Academy.

After taking many lessons over the years but still struggling with my golf game, I finally found success with Chris. At 70, I wasn’t sure how much I could improve, but his teaching style made all the difference. He broke down my swing in a way that finally clicked, helping me correct bad habits and build confidence. Now, I’m not only golfing better than ever. I’m the best in my foursome! His patience, encouragement, and clear instruction have truly transformed my game. If you’ve struggled with other teachers, give Chris a try. You won’t regret it!

I’ve been playing golf for over 10 years, and I thought I had a solid understanding of my swing, until I started working with Chris at GolfStart Academy. From the very first session, his attention to detail was remarkable. He doesn’t just point out what’s “off”; he breaks it down in a way that’s easy to understand and incredibly actionable.

Chris’s enthusiasm for seeing his clients succeed is contagious. He genuinely celebrates your progress, no matter how small, and it makes the learning process feel motivating rather than intimidating. What I appreciate most is how he simplifies lessons—complex swing mechanics and adjustments suddenly make perfect sense.

The minor tweaks Chris suggested to my swing have had a significant impact on my game, something I didn’t think was possible after a decade of playing. He combines expertise with patience and a genuine passion for teaching, which makes every session enjoyable and rewarding. I can confidently say working with Chris has elevated my game and reinvigorated my love for golf.

If you’re looking for a coach who truly understands the game and cares about your success, Chris is the one to work with.

I had my first golf lesson with Chris before a work tournament, and it was amazing! I was pretty nervous since I’d never been on a course before, but he made me feel totally comfortable! He was super patient, gave great coaching and feedback, and explained things in a way that really clicked. My swing improved so much in one lesson, and I even had the longest drive for a while during the tournament! I had such a great time and left feeling confident and excited to keep playing! Couldn’t recommend Chris more!

Chris stands alone. When you talk about catering he caters the lesson to your swing. I have been golfing for 3 years and 2 lessons have converted my golf game into something I don't think I would've achieved. Highly recommended and strong golf knowledge
