I know a guy who hits the ball 300 straight, and places the ball where he wants it, but shoots high 80s bc of putting! Getting to the green no problem, getting it in the hole 2 to 3 putts
I do think for most golfers that struggle with a big slice, if he can fix the slice and get you to hit it straight, it will definitely increase the distance by 20%. I think that’s probably what the ad is geared towards
I’ve been with a few instructors, and one of the most important things in a coach is how personable and friendly they are. Michael was definitely both of those. I’d much rather have him over some washed pro that has no personality!
I wish he was in my area. Golf lessons don't seem to start for less than $100 here - even group lessons at the range are pricey. $50 for one-on-one with some like Michael is something that every high handicapper can take advantage of.
Very happy to see you went in genuine and let him see where he could help you at your actual handicap. I’m very sure he could help a super high handicap with a slice that actually takes 20+ yards off a 7i.
At your level you will have a trusted coach and you know how good you are, I suspect this guy would get 20% easy from a person searching Facebook for a lesson. He is a sound guy, as are 95% of the people you meet in Golf. My main concern here is the recent lack of sneaker porn, time to up the game.
stumbled across this at 2 AM. TH-cam algorithms work wonders. Michael is a solid dude and based off his knowledge I can definitely believe he played at Umass-Lowell! Great Vid.
The 20% distance claim is only denied by you though. I guarantee he’s not lying about 99% of other people he teaches he can get that number added to their driver swing.
He definitely is a solid coach and I like that he didn’t lie to you and he was honest as he was trying to pick a part your possible problem. He said it’s gonna be hard and I’m probably not gonna be able to fix or add 20% because you’re already swinging well, the only things you could do is start lifting weights lol but he was honest the entire way and I feel like that’s what a good golf trainer is going to do if you’re already doing well and hitting it primarily straight then they aren’t going to try to change everything about you to make you hit the way they hit. They’re just gonna make sure that you’re not gonna hurt yourself swinging and you’re still hitting it straight so you can fix the minor details. Overall dude is definitely a solid coach and it seems like a decent person which is nice. I really do hope that he blows up after this.
Michael is good man. Someone pooped in the cup on hole 8 at my local muni in Massachusetts. Michael tracked the perpetrator down and made them apologize
@joshmayergolf Great video!!! Happy for Michael to be highlighted, looks like he deserves the recognition. Kudos for you to show that affordable lessons can be helpful. And it's people like the both of you who keep this game growing. Awesome!
I don't think the 20% claim deserves an X.. He's basically saying he could potentially improve your driving distance by 20%, and obviously that doesn't apply to people who already know how to flush the ball off the tee. He seems like he knows what he's talking about. I bet you give him enough time with a very new golfer who doesn't hit the ball very far, he's going to back up that claim almost every time!
1975. I purchased four small illustrated books on golf, by Jack Nicklaus. Everything you could ever want. I was 19. In six months, I held about a 10 handicap, and I was plus or minus that value for the next 40 years. Books cost me a dollar each.
He’s clearly really gunning for the beginner type of golfer as a coach. Your swing is really good and would need much more slight corrections like the club opening thing. Maybe even an on course lesson in approach and course management.
Great overall video but man, that abrupt ending was not what I'm accustomed to.😄 Also, did y'all go into chipping, pitching, shot shaping, anything that could have been gleaned from your $50?
i really enjoyed this. i think we were all prepared to make fun of the man but he's an awesome guy and was honest and down to earth. almost makes you feel bad for not being totally honest with him on your part lol
He needs to charge more. Also since he does 5-6 lessons a week, it shows he's not in it for the money, simply a hobby and something he is passionate about. Ppl like him deserve everything.
I would say this type of coach is best for mid to high handicap players. Scratch or better, not so much. Edited: Later in the video you did point out distance being a newer golfer.
Technically if he is taking $ for his lessons he is deemed by the USGA a professional and cannot play in amateur tournaments........I did this before to save some people money on lessons. I had no idea it would ban me from USGA events. So I stopped doing it. Thankfully I helped a lot of people that summer and saved them a lot of $! I charged $40 an hour...
Hey mate.. Thanks for the tips, As a high handicapper i need all the tips i can get.. Im about to upload my very first video so a little scared to show the world how bad i am haha cheers mate
i think his claims are all fair and valid, for anyone searching lessons on fb. anyone with your caliber swing would go to a pga professional. he is aiming at the entry level students
This guy backed out on me with 5 seconds notice after I drove an hour to him then I told him let's go to top golf and he agreed and when I was at top golf waiting he said sorry can't come then ghosted me afterwards. Don't use this guy. You might get lucky and he show up but he has no respect for professionalism and will bail on you if he decides to last second. So if you're a 5 minute drive away then take the risk but if you're not then dont waste your time

For Michael to be able to pick up something so slight on a player of high level is really impressive. He will be a great coach.
I know a guy who hits the ball 300 straight, and places the ball where he wants it, but shoots high 80s bc of putting! Getting to the green no problem, getting it in the hole 2 to 3 putts
That’s an incredibly sincere and humble man. I hope Mike is able to achieve his goals! Thanks for sharing!
Mike is the man. Such a solid dude
Can you put his contact info in the video description for those people that are in the Fort Worth area?
I do think for most golfers that struggle with a big slice, if he can fix the slice and get you to hit it straight, it will definitely increase the distance by 20%. I think that’s probably what the ad is geared towards
100%
Exactly
That might even be why Josh picked him. I’d imagine most of his viewers who can’t hit 70s, 80s, 90s, could benefit from him
@@JoshMayerGolf When are you announcing the winner for the irons?
Don’t worry the “~” means approximately so it might not be 20% just an fyi
I appreciated how Michael was humble when it came to the driving distance claim.
I’ve been with a few instructors, and one of the most important things in a coach is how personable and friendly they are. Michael was definitely both of those. I’d much rather have him over some washed pro that has no personality!
$50 To meet a friend and some info is priceless; not to mention great conversations! ❤️ Keep it up Josh!
I wish he was in my area. Golf lessons don't seem to start for less than $100 here - even group lessons at the range are pricey. $50 for one-on-one with some like Michael is something that every high handicapper can take advantage of.
Shout out Josh for also being a really nice guy. It's fun to watch folks being genuinely interested in bettering other folks!
$50? I wish I could get a lesson like this for that price.
Since he was such a good sport you should have him back on and do a before and after video with a newer golfer 👌🏼
That’s a great idea!!
Very happy to see you went in genuine and let him see where he could help you at your actual handicap.
I’m very sure he could help a super high handicap with a slice that actually takes 20+ yards off a 7i.
I would hire this guy weekly for lessons if I lived near there

Totally agree. Get a beginner to start squaring up the face and driving distance could easily increase by 20%
I definitely believe he can take someone from 200 yards to 240 = 20%
You can show up driving 300and expect him to take you yo 360. Thats not fair lol
He definitely is a solid coach and I like that he didn’t lie to you and he was honest as he was trying to pick a part your possible problem.

I really like how you were hitting the ball of the tee with your driver. Worth every penny.
Awesome content! Totally support your effort of using your platform to help others out!
Michael is good man. Someone pooped in the cup on hole 8 at my local muni in Massachusetts. Michael tracked the perpetrator down and made them apologize
I think he might be on to something, talking about you only shooting in the high 70's. your course management may be what is holding you back
He was 100% right. Mental game is trash
@joshmayergolf
Great video!!! Happy for Michael to be highlighted, looks like he deserves the recognition. Kudos for you to show that affordable lessons can be helpful. And it's people like the both of you who keep this game growing. Awesome!
Michael is the best, so down to earth. Wish he was down here in Australia to give some coaching to a newb like me, haha.

Loving these vids man
Passion is the best teacher. Michael is awesome.
He’s clearly really gunning for the beginner type of golfer as a coach. Your swing is really good and would need much more slight corrections like the club opening thing. Maybe even an on course lesson in approach and course management.
Michael is a gem tbh id have never thought to check fb for coaching
It’s cool too see he just wants people to experience what he did growing up. Hope his business works out
Leonard’s golf links is so cool!!
Great insights
$50 bucks? Good guy, solid tips, and not overcoaching….would 100% take a lesson from him!
Great overall video but man, that abrupt ending was not what I'm accustomed to.😄
Also, did y'all go into chipping, pitching, shot shaping, anything that could have been gleaned from your $50?
i really enjoyed this. i think we were all prepared to make fun of the man but he's an awesome guy and was honest and down to earth. almost makes you feel bad for not being totally honest with him on your part lol
i think alot of people think their problem is the long game but its 140 yards and in can you really hit a wedge 80 yards 85 or 90 yards
Is there a link to contact Michael?
He needs to charge more. Also since he does 5-6 lessons a week, it shows he's not in it for the money, simply a hobby and something he is passionate about. Ppl like him deserve everything.
Really solid dude.
This guys seems super solid. Wish i was in his area so I could get lessons from him
that guys gotta start a youtube now
👀
Josh where are you from in Pennsylvania? I am in York now but from Northwest PA!
Born and raised in Lancaster!
I would say this type of coach is best for mid to high handicap players. Scratch or better, not so much. Edited: Later in the video you did point out distance being a newer golfer.
Not being able to add 20% to a 350 drive I think is pretty fair he probably hasn’t had someone as good as you take him up on a lesson
This intrigued me, I searched for golf lessons on Facebook Marketplace in Omaha…. Nothing
I love going to Leonard’s Links!
I’d like to see what he could do with a mid to high handicapper.
This guy is the GOAT
Should do it again but show up with Hickory clubs
Technically if he is taking $ for his lessons he is deemed by the USGA a professional and cannot play in amateur tournaments........I did this before to save some people money on lessons. I had no idea it would ban me from USGA events. So I stopped doing it. Thankfully I helped a lot of people that summer and saved them a lot of $! I charged $40 an hour...
I mess with the buck club hat brother you wouldn’t happen to know about the tree farm course
Yeah had the chance to play it last summer. Unreal
Id pay 100 bucks to get my swing dialed in. Ive been playing for 28 years and i can play decent, but im not flushing every shot. Lol
Wow i was impressed by Michael.
A slice doesn’t come from just an open face
What part of PA are you from? There is a lot of Mayer's in the Berks County area? We may be related lol
From Lancaster!
@@JoshMayerGolf small world for sure! I always told people I was related to the singer John Mayer 😂😂😂
I was wanting to see him rip one too.
I’d take Michael in my golf corner any day of the week
50 bucks a lesson! That's a steal
He seemed a like a super cool guy! Your swing looked beautiful brother!
Appreciate you brother! We gotta get a round in here at some point. Been loving the videos
@@JoshMayerGolf thanks my man! We’ll link up after the holidays!
Hey mate.. Thanks for the tips, As a high handicapper i need all the tips i can get.. Im about to upload my very first video so a little scared to show the world how bad i am haha cheers mate
Seems like a straight up guy and even though you are way more advanced than his typical clients he did catch your grip change. 👍
Super helpful! Such a great time hanging with him as well
👍
fort worth!
Does he have an email address? I live in Dallas and would like to get a lesson or two from him.
i think his claims are all fair and valid, for anyone searching lessons on fb. anyone with your caliber swing would go to a pga professional. he is aiming at the entry level students
I think it’s more of could increase by up to 20% considering most people are starting out at a way lower skill level than you
Big dawg Mike
Yeah I mean not much to fix with ur swing
I mean can take bigger divots. That’s what I would change
Amennnn god blesss youuu alll
Mike was awesome
Lmao I know he isn’t paying dues to Leonard’s
lol no outro or nothing i thought my phone died
Mass represent!
Michael is worth way more than $50/lesson. Maybe $150 is more faif
i need josh as my swing trainer!
Dog I would’ve known you were BS’ing after the first waggle
Did he hit one ball at all seems like he just read a golf pamphlet and gave lessons.
solid dude..keep going till you find a d bag
I'd hire him 🏌️♂️
Did anybody ever win the free set of irons? I really wanted to win those
They did! Picked a winner earlier this week
should of got a 25-30 handicap as a test subject lol kind of wasted on you but great video
Should of gave him a check for 20 percent..
The world needs more Mikes!
My instructors were arrogant jerks.
Sorry to hear that Jay
River hawks
Whoa he legit
I’d take a lesson from him
Shout out riverats
W vid
This guy backed out on me with 5 seconds notice after I drove an hour to him then I told him let's go to top golf and he agreed and when I was at top golf waiting he said sorry can't come then ghosted me afterwards.

Can we get a link for this guy?
W wholesome content. came from instagram to check this out and it didn’t disappoint 😎
Appreciate it brother!
How do we find Michael? Seems like a great guy to work with. What’s his @??
