"I wanted to express my gratitude for transforming my golf game. I realize that you as a golf professional hear this all the time but you really helped me to begin to enjoy the game. You meet the golfer where he/she is at. Take something as small as my grip, just having you position my lead had has improved my distance and my confidence in how I strike the ball. I so glad you are my instructor.
I still have things to improve on, but listening and learning from you is going to make me a much better golfer and a transformed player. One more thing I want to tell you. Your pricing for my lessons makes it so easy to want to learn. I would encourage anyone struggling with their game to seek you out; you’re the best.
See you in the course."

"I was struggling getting the ball off the ground the week going into the 2025 Member-Member and was shooting in the 90’s at the best that week. John Petronis helped my game by showing me how to adjust for my limitations of three fused discs in my neck. After 4 months of working with John, I had my best round of the year on May 8th, 79! And, my handicap has gone from 20.4 to 16.4!"

"I was topping the ball and hitting it very thin. My good ones were very low with no power. After my lessons with John Petronis, I hit the ball 2-3x higher and further. I am enjoying the game a lot more and I look forward to seeing my handicap drop back down."
~ Bob Noel, River Hall CC Member

"After years of poor greenside bunker play, I finally broke down and took a bunker lesson with our Pro John Petronis. I’d leave it in the bunker or skull it out. I never was consistent, and it always cost me 4 to 5 shots a round . Not only am I now getting the out of the bunker in one I’m also hitting it closer to the pin and getting up and down. Thanks to John I have more consistent bunker play."

"Steve Anderson can do it all. From a beginner to a low-handicapper, Steve makes playing better golf easier. He starts by video taping your swing, and as you both watch the video he goes over all your strengths and weaknesses.
Steve then teaches you the improved swing in small, step by step fixes that are so easy to understand. My improvement was quick, and dramatic, and he’s the only one I’ve trusted with my swing for over 5 years now. After your lesson, Steve writes everything down for you and makes sure you know what you should practice, and more importantly, why! In my own case, the best thing that ever happened to my golf game was when my wife gave me a gift certificate for lessons with Steve many years ago. With Steve’s coaching, I’ve gone from a 90’s shooter to a consistently low 80’s shooter, and I have had several rounds in the mid 70’s. If you want to be a better golfer and enjoy the game more, see Steve."

"I moved to River Hall and dove head-first into playing golf. This course is tough and I soon realized that I needed to develop skills and confidence to be able to happily play. I picked Devlin because during a group lesson, I got to know him a bit and liked his communication style, which is important to me. He spoke in easy to understand terms and he made me feel comfortable when I asked for clarification. He brings training tools that help me develop skills and he makes suggestions on what “swing thoughts” should be in my head. We started with a driving lesson and I immediately started shooting 20-30 more yards.From there I felt like I had a coach in my corner. He let me choose the areas of the game that needed attention. His knowledge and ability to fix and adjust is outstanding. Devlin has helped me build the confidence I hoped for so I can play more enjoyable rounds of golf."

"Devlin is a fantastic golf instructor. He takes the time to assess my individual set-up and provides clear, immediate feedback that helps me make real-time adjustments. His suggested drills are practical and effective. Whether it’s refining my basic strokes, offering putting pointers, or helping me escape the sand, Devlin has truly elevated my game."
~ Joy Heaps, 6/25/25

"I’ve played golf for over 50 years and was once a 5 handicap. Devlin offers valuable insight every time we meet. His coaching sticks with me whether I’m on the course, the range, or the putting green. Each session is well-structured, with a clear plan at the start and a helpful recap at the end. Working with Devlin has been a meaningful addition to my game."
