Manny Neves, Golf Instructor

Manny Neves is an experienced golf instructor at the Cypress Golf Center in Colma, Ca. He has 40+ years of knowledge and play of the game. I figured I needed individual instruction on the game, so I browsed instructors in the san francisco peninsula area and came across Manny’s web page. I liked his philosophy on the game (you can read it on his website). He game me the basic fundamentals of the game with each lesson. Lesson 1: hitting the irons, he showed me the proper stance, grip, posture, swing, and approach. I was doing many things improper with what I thought was a good swing. He showed me a better way. Lesson 2: putting. Probably the most important of them all. He will show you the proper stroke and judgement of line to the hole as well as reading the hole. Lesson 3: using the driver. I had always had problems with the driver, he showed me a better way and the proper way to set up the shot. (I still cant hit the driver as solid but better than before.) Lesson 4: short game. He showed me the flop shot, and the run shot. These 2 I had no idea of, and now it is a lot of fun to attempt them. They are really effective. I am sure glad that I chose him as an instuctor and would recommend anyone who is starting and who has some experience under his/​her belt. Other instructors I have looked up charge 60 bucks for ½ hour lessons, or a 4 half hour lessons for well over 200 bucks. Manny’s price is by far the best value. I paid 190 bucks for four 1 hour lessons! I think with the skills he showed me, and with a little practice, I will be able to shave some numbers off my game.
