"Coach Means prepared me mentally and physically to be successful and now I am playing with the world's best because of him.  He gave me an opportunity to be the best that I could be and I've overachieved to a level that once I could only dream about!"

"I have been with John for over 2 years and have grown so much under his coaching.  He has helped me elevate my game to new levels, and taught me so much about the game of golf and life.  His insights into the mental aspects are endless and have made a significant inpact on my game.  Under his teaching, I have been able to refine my swing and develop shots needed to score.  I have been able to increase my distance 20 yards in only 5 months, with John's help. He has not only taught me the fundamentals of the game, but also how to get the ball into the hole.  Because of his collegiate coachng experience, John knows when to push hard, or just be there to encourage me.  I have really benefited from everything he has to offer."

 "I am so pumped!  You really got the light to turn on.  My swing is working much better and I am understanding things so much better.  I played yesterday, hit 70% of the fairways and my ball striking was awesome.  You are a God, I think someone said that about Eric Clapton once, but they didn't play golf!  Thanks a ton!"

 I just wanted to send a little follow up  since having the lesson with John Means at Totally Driven this past weekend.  What a great lesson! Over the past 30+ years I have had my share of golf lessons, some with guys who are now famour but were less so then.  Anyway, I have not had someone explain the swing movement with the clarity John gave me during my lesson.  Plus the practice drills John gave me to work on will help eliminate some swing problems I'm currently having.  If this lesson won't make me a better golfer, I don't know what will!

I attended your golf school last June because I wanted to be a better golfer.  Over the years I have taken some individual lessons, but never concentrated so much on the game of golf. The class was both enjoyable and beneficial. Six weeks after your class you can't believe how much fun and excitement I had playing golf for the remainder of the fall.  I went back to the courses that I had played prior to your school and played them again and averaged 15 strokes better PER round for the six rounds that I played.  I am committed to improving my game some more and look forward to your school again!

I just wanted to let you know how much you have helped me.  My ball striking is so much better. My stroke average has dropped 7 strokes from fall to spring.  I also recorded my lowest competitive college score ever this spring.  I look forward to working with you again and THANKS!
