What Students Say…

"The best way to summarize my feelings is to say “I didn’t know what I didn’t know”. The basic drills we performed were essential in learning certain strokes, but the best part were your teachings on strategy."

Norm Ressin

"All I can say is WOW!!! After just three days of working with Prem, my approach to the game has completely changed. Prem broke it down in a way that was easy to understand and relate to."

John C.

"What I like about Prem is that he gives you a chance to come to your own realization that the changes he’s suggesting are good."
