Excellent! After the first lesson I ended up signing up for the 8 lesson package. I’ve struggled with back issues over the years, as well as a tendency to slice my woods. Dan has completely changed my golf swing, the result is no more “over the top” slices and absolutely no more back pain. His approach is different from all the other lessons I’ve had. For me, it makes much more sense to focus on the sagittal as opposed to the transverse aspect of the golf swing. Additionally, Dan’s practice facility is great! Thanks Dan Alton!
I’ve been playing golf for 30 years. I started on line lessons with Dan in April 2024. I have been “over the top” for all 30 years of my golf life! Dan fixed it! Wow! I traveled from Michigan to Dan’s facility last week to get an in -person lesson. I am glad I went! The clubs I have been playing were way too long. He fitted me, and the clubs arrived at my house in 5 days! I played yesterday and cannot believe the difference. This man is amazing! If you haven’t seen him in person, I recommend it. He is kind, patient and the smartest golf guru I have ever met! Thank you Dan for changing my game! Shot 3 over yesterday!!!
I've had many lessons over the years with conventional teachers preaching conventional positions, methodologies, etc, with no lasting results. I happened across Dan on the internet and his philosophy just resonated. I booked a lesson and drove from Charlotte. And I am ever so thankful that I did! He immediately saw my swing flaws and over the course of the 2-hour lesson corrected my entire swing with great results. Dan is very patient and uses different maneuvers, when one doesn't quite resonate, he'll use a different approach or feel to get it right. This is the first time I actually feel encouraged and optimistic about my golf game in a very long time! He also sent a video of my swing with a narrated critique that I found extremely helpful going forward. In summary, I highly recommend Dan to anyone who might be down in the dumps about there Golf swing. He's sure to get you on the right path. He certainly did for me! Highly recommended!!
I started taking lessons from Dan right after Christmas this year after seeing some of his youtube videos. There is no substitution for his trained eye. I was so glad I made that call. My handicap has dropped 3 strokes and I have shot or broken my age of 72, twice in the last 2 weeks. You won't be disappointed with his extensive knowledge.
I have been playing golf for 40 years and never been consistent because of not knowing what I was really doing. I became very frustrated and started searching for something on you tube and ran across a video of Dan explaning what the club should be doing during the release. I was very interested in what he was saying because it was so different from what most golf instructors teach. I set up a lesson with Dan and it was by far the best lesson I ever had period!!!! looking forward to working with Dan on other parts of the game and getting back shooting in the 60s
I discovered Dan on Instagram and with video swing analysis and live video lessons, he has taught me the correct way to swing. My swing was a handle pull and hard turn and it was creating back and hip problems. Dan has taught me a swing that is much easier on the body and when I do it correctly, much less effort. Everything he teaches is contrary to all the lessons I have taken over the years from renowned teachers; his swing allows you to cast, to cup the left wrist, to chicken wing, to swing with your arms….Dan is patient, he is unyielding, he knows just what to correct and how to correct it and he really cares. If he can have such an impact on my golf game over the phone, I can only imagine what he can do in person. I am planning to fly to Raleigh soon for a live lesson and to thank him in person for all that he has done for my game.
I’m a 10 index and took lessons from Dan starting in October of 2023. My previous instruction over last 5 years was a couple random lessons and a lot of Instagram. In my first lesson Dan showed me why the conventional “turn your body” and “pull the handle” ideas are misunderstood by most amateurs. My swing before Dan produced wild hooks I was getting better at controlling to now hitting solid fades and a much simpler swing. My contact pattern on my irons is way more consistent and my misses are in the fairway. It’s been 5 lessons over a couple months and I’m really happy with the results. Hope to be consistent low 80s by Spring.
Pure gold. I lean on Dan's YouTube stuff as support for my in-person instructor (who is also terrific!). One, their teachings are very similar, although the terms used differ somewhat. Two, they teach what is correct for most amateurs, which directly opposes some of what is considered "conventional wisdom" (pull the handle, delay the hit, & other B.S...for most).
As for Dan himself, his YT stuff is straightforward and to the point; he doesn't ramble on to fill 5-10 min video. He also demonstrates his concepts himself & with visual aides that help you see WHY what he says is technically correct. Dan is the best online instructor I've seen.
After returning to golf 8 years ago, I started taking lessons. I went from a 16 handicap down to single digit in about 4 years but really had no clue on what I was doing. I have seen and traveled to many instructors and still really wasn’t able to get any better. For the last 2 years I have been on a quest to find my swing and own my swing. I have found the man who can help with that, Dan Alton! I traveled 6 hours and spent 2 days with Dan and was blown away with the results. To finally understand what I’m trying to do in the golf swing is huge for me. To be able to come home and practice and play with a purpose is refreshing! I’m finally excited again about my golf journey!
He shows you exactly what to do and how to do it. And you leave there knowing how to correct yourself and build on that.
He is an incredible instructor worth the drive from anywhere. Check him out on Instagram and YouTube but you’ll still need one-on-one because it will make all the difference to your game!
I'm a complete novice when it comes to golf, and I basically had zero knowledge before I started taking lessons with Dan. After a few sessions with Dan, I can genuinely say that the experience has been incredibly rewarding.
I scoured through a multitude of options, considering over 20 different golf instructors. In the end, I confidently settled on Dan as my coach, and I can say without a doubt that it was the perfect choice. Dan has a unique ability to quickly and meticulously guide me in understanding how to wield a golf club. It's truly remarkable how he pinpoints exactly what to convey in his teachings, whether it's for minor tweaks or major adjustments, all geared towards enhancing my swing.
What stands out is Dan's unwavering patience and his genuine willingness to educate, regardless of the number of questions I ask or the blunders I make. It's evident that he deeply cares about my progress.
Interestingly, a friend of mine, who was unaware of my choice of instructor, raved about having Dan Alton as his coach and expressed his exclusivity in choosing Dan. It's reassuring to know that others also hold him in high regard.
I'm genuinely looking forward to the journey ahead with Dan as my instructor. With his guidance, I'm confident that I'll soon be able to partake in a proper golf game with others and confidently hold my own on the course. 😄
Big thanks, Dan!
I’ve been working with Dan for 3 months now. When we first started I was slicing the ball so badly that it was borderline unplayable.
Fast forward 3 months and 10 lessons, I just broke 90 for the first time ever, and I’m absolutely piping it. Trust the process. Dan is an incredible coach who tailors his approach to your problems and even your body. He’s patient and I can tell he gets genuine enjoyment out of seeing me improve.
I would advise everyone to stick with it for at least 8 lessons or so and make sure to put in work outside of lessons a couple of times a week if you can.
Thanks Dan for all the help. Worth every dollar and then some.
Before working with Dan, I was totally stuck under the plane because of all the golf industry teaching a certain way based on pulling the handle or body positions. Dans teaching have allowed me to make progress every single session in all ten sessions we did together. He teaches me how to feel it organically based on what on plane "feels like" for me compared to what it does to get me in the right impact position. He personalizes the feels for what I need to make the right move which I had no idea was even possible. This has allowed me to learn the way I am supposed to swing moving forward. Could not recommend him more and I personally will only work with Dan in golf instruction or equipment recommendations!
I was introduced to Dan through a friend who had been taking lessons from him and he immediately helped to bring a level of confidence to my game I had never experienced before. His instructions were easy to understand - taking time to hone in on the areas that needed the most attention at each lesson. I will keep taking lessons from Dan to take my game up another level and would recommend him to anyone looking to up their game!
Relatively new to golf, I’ve seen several instructors with varying success and then I met Dan Alton. His teaching is vastly different than anything I’ve learned previously. I got a package of lessons with Dan over the course of two months. Within three months, my handicap had fallen by 5 strokes. If you trust what he tells you and work on your game, you will get better quickly. I won’t work with anyone else.
