Student Testimonials

Kathy Kellogg Winner of 20 Club Championships 2 Handicap:

"I was one of Mardell's first students after she retired from the LPGA tour.  Her teaching excellence changed my golf career in ways I never thought possible.  The fact that I am still her student 25 years later speaks volumes about her ability to improve your game.
 

Mardell's uncanny knack of communication with the clever use of props and video allowed me to understand the mechanics of the golf swing and eventually reach a very distant goal of  "scratch golfer".  I have won a total of 18 Ladies Club Championships and some Women's Southern California events and have posted some sub-par scores thanks to Mardell,she is "The Best! "

"I have been taking lessons from Mardell for many years now and prior to that I took lessons from several Professionals, but no one makes golf instruction so clear. I have dropped my handicap from 12 to 3 while taking lessons from her, while playing twice a week.   Mardell utilizes many different teaching techniques and drills to help her students understand the information. The Video and computer analysis program have been invaluable to me."

"Mardell also provides insight on all the aspects of the game: mental, physical fitness and flexibility, nutrition, short game and putting.  She is a certified TPI Golf Fitness Trainer and encouraged me to get on a golf specific program.  Golf is a never ending tune up process and lessons are crucial to continued performance. Thank you Mardell for being there during the ups and downs of my golf game."

I was an 18 handicap three years ago when I started taking lessons from Mardell.  My game was at a standstill.  Mardell looked at my swing and recommended small changes that have allowed me to strike the ball more consistently and I have dropped 10 strokes!  She makes it so EASY!

Good lesson on Saturday. I played 15 holes from the tips at Arroyo
yesterday afternoon, and I was 2 under! I had 5 birdies in 15 holes, and really hit it much better. The only 2 swing thoughts were HIGH right shoulder and turn my back( with no sway) on the backswing. I'm glad I saw you on Saturday! Many thanks--- Greg

 

After our bunker lesson I have been doing great in the sand.  I had a sand save on one of three bunker shots the next day, and on the other two I was inside four feet and just missed barely missed my putts.

Thanks for the help!
