9/15/06 I have taken over 10 lessons from Franklyn and with each one I receive new insight into this incredibly complex and wonderful game. I have been golfing for over 30 years and this is the first time that I feel in control of my scoring. Franklyn is a great teacher because he is a great student of the swing.

9/21/06 I can recognize what I’m doing wrong when I do it, and have a better understanding of how to correct it on the next swing.

11/22/06 Franklyn, I have to say, you are a golf genius. I've never heard of any
other instructor who could correct a problem via email! So I took your
instructions, stuck them in my head, and went off to play on Saturday.
We arrived to the course late and they misplaced my clubs for 20
minutes, so I didn't have any time at the range before we teed off. No
range time usually = bad play. But I had your email rattling around in
my head, so I took a few practice swings, and then teed off. Well, it
was a magnificent round. I hit every drive 280 down the middle.
Literally every drive. I was on 9 holes in regulation (unprecedented).
The holes I wasn't on in regulation were usually due to wrong club
selection or just bad aim (at the flag, instead of just right of it,
etc.), but never poor contact or a big fade or draw. Shot an 86. My
first thought was, "holy cow, this game is so easy when you're on in
regulation." I can't wait to play again. I'm actually hopeful about
this tournament I have in December, because I typically play poorly in
it. I'm going to the range several times before then to cement it.
Thank you, thank you!

4/11/07 Hi Franklyn, Just wanted to drop you a thank you for all the work you did with me over the three day school. I haven’t hit the ball to the right (Ken is Left-handed) in 10 years, and within a few swings, there I was, drawing to the right. What a great feeling! I thought the format was terrific and got so much out of each day.
I went to the range today for the first time, and was still able to draw and fade. Now one was more stunned than I was! It’s clear that not only were you able to communicate with me in a meaningful way, but that it was simple enough for me to retain later as well. What a great feeling.
I look forward to working with you again down the road. Thanks.
