" Ina was terrific for me. Before Ina my handicap was 30 plus or minus 5. After a couple of lessons, and a few weeks of playing and adhering to Ina’s easily applied weight distribution and maintaining spine position, I am happy to say golf is much more enjoyable. My handicap dropped to 20 plus or minus 5 now. I shot an 86 last week on a par 72 course which is my career best. Before Ina when topping or chunking shots I had no idea what I did wrong. Now when I occasionally chunk a shot I know why it occurred. It is easily corrected by reverting back to what Ina taught in those two lessons. Now my goal is to shoot for a 10-15 handicap. I can’t believe how much she has made this game so much more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong I still get frustrated at times - but I am much more consistent and playing better than ever before. Next up will be a couple of lessons on chipping where my game is the most inconsistent at present. No matter what your level is I strongly recommend Ina for anybody desiring improvement and finishing a round with much more satisfaction.
