Testimonials

“Mr. Gutkin is a golf teaching genius who like great teachers of piano or ballet have the ability to impart their knowledge with enthusiasm and extreme effectiveness. Mr. Gutkin is like a Zen master. He knows the way and makes it fun.” 

                -- Stanley Taub, M.D.

“Finally a teacher who believes in positive reinforcement rather than negative critique. Robert breaks the golf game down to easy, digestible pieces and then guides you to trust what you've learned when you’re hitting the ball.. My game improved instantly, and I’m enjoying it more”

                --Myrna Socal, Executive Coach , Socal Associates 

“Over the years (79 of them ), I’ve taken lessons with other Pros. They stressed the mechanics, but Rob’s more thought-provoking approach proved far more satisfying. Even before I hit a ball, Rob asked a very surprising and important question. “What was the objective of my lessons?” It seemed obvious to me—to improve my golf game." “Let's get more specific,” he persisted. So digging into my brain, I said “to hit more balls solidly and have more fun.” We worked on a system devised by Rob to achieve the first goal and quite quickly the second goal followed naturally. Golf became a real pleasure, like magic-what a wonderful surprise."

Dear Rob,                                                                February 7, 2002

"You did a spectacular job on my Dutra 3 wood. It looks brand new-much better than before. In fact, it is so good that I believe you are right. I should retire it. It is too good to use, especially the way I play.  Thanks also for the interesting article about Olin Dutra - sounds like he had a real match."
Again, Many thanks. A great job.
