Awesome Experience in S FLA
Been around this forum for about three years as a beginner golfer. I found the info to be very interesting and have been working hard at trying to implement the concepts. Well, needless to say I really struggled. I decided to contact Lynn to see if there was anyone in South Florida who would be able to help me execute and properly understand the concepts. Lucky for me Lynn hooked me up with Dan Malizia at Pinetree CC in Boynton Beach.
I spent about four hours with Dan over two days and I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome it was. I have a lot of work to do but now understand what is right! What is amazing is how what I thought was right was not even close. It feels great to have the correct understanding of what is supposed to happen. Also, the course and range are unreal. Anyway, I am putting this out there for no other reason than to share my experience and to thank Lynn for recommending Dan. Jon |
Dan Malizia -- A Teaching Treasure Down South

Dan Malizia -- pronounced Ma-LIZE -- is head professional at the venerable Pinetree CC (home club for decades of a dues-paying Sam Snead). He is a respected PGA of America professional and also a first rate guy. Dan and I are in our second year working together, and I'm proud that he recently earned the designation Lynn Blake Certified Senior Instructor. I strongly recommend Dan to our South Florida friends seeking the finest in golf instruction. :salut: |

As a result of Swivels post I contacted and had a lesson today with Dan.
Have had many lessons over the last 40 years and mostly with the big names you hear and read about, and with mixed results. Today was different. Dan made my 3 year study of TGM come alive. (One should not be reading this stuff without help.) He, one by one, delineated the areas where correction was needed and communicated in an understandable way, how to achieve the desired result. A poor round can be a depressant, or a real beat down. A good or great round, can be uplifting and invigorating. After todays lesson Dan has given me the tools to be a player again. Originally a plan to visit Lynn in early August did not work out. Dan insisted that a trip to Cuscawilla should not be missed and that he visits as often as he can. Love,n the journey. Thanks to Dan for his good work. However,..........this relationship maybe of short duration if he keeps hitting my clubs better than me. |
Great lesson w/ Dan
Refered by none other than Yoda himself , I went to see Dan at Pine Tree. His patience , enthusiasm , expertise , clarity and love of teaching made it big time rewarding for me ! From too shallow , on elbow plane , no divot , ....to on turned shldr plane , lag and compression . We got right to what I needed and why. He is my man ! I need go nowhere else.

thanks ww
Woody, you did a great job - it's great when you have access to information that allows the instructor to quickly improve a student's game!
Just got back from a retreat to Cuscowilla with Rick Murphy and Curt Sanders - boy, three and a half days of intense study of 1-L and all facets related to such. Thanks to Yoda for his enthusiasm and dedication to his students - he's an inspiration! |
