Testimonials
Over the past couple of decades I have had the pleasure to work with some of golf's most noted instructors: Bob Toski, Jim Flick, Rick Smith and many years ago, Davis Love II at the Cloisters in Sea Island. All of these contributed to my playing better, but none came close to explaining the mechanics of the golf swing, and how to effectively use them as you have done. Many thanks Marc for the added enjoyment I now experience on the links.

I have been working with Marc for 10 years. He has more knowledge then any instructor I have ever met. His methods are backed with technology to mark your improvement. He also knows how to make golf fun with his fun easy going attitude.

Your Radical Golf Fitness program was appropriately named. Not only was it a challenging workout but it has improved my balance, shoulder turn and core strength as you promised. A little cautious because of some back issues, I actually found it strengthened my low back and hamstrings. With little investment, I've continued your workout at home. I love it! Recently went to NYC, lots of stairs to subways and my daughter lives on 4th floor (no elevator). Navigated through our weekend feeling great.

I have been student of Marc’s for over 10 years. In that time my handicap has dropped from 16 to as low as 6. Marc’s has worked closely with me to cover 3 key areas of the game. Swing mechanics, course management and mental outlook. His knowledge of me and my personal needs combined with his ability to adapt his teaching to my needs is what makes him a valuable instructor and great source of enjoyment for the game of golf. Kind Regards,

I've had many lessons with several instructors over the years but Marc is without a doubt the most professional and effective golf instructor that I've ever known. Marc's experience and training have equipped him with a body of knowledge which makes it possible to develop drills and practice aids for any golfer - regardless of skill level. Marc has the latest technology for video analysis but he can also set the tools aside and just work on drills or concepts. Most importantly, Marc has a sincere interest in each student and genuine enthusiasm for every session or lesson. The bottom line is that meaningful time with Marc combined with purposeful practice results in an improved golf swing and lower scores.

I’ve been taking lessons from Marc over the years and I will continue to do so. My game continues to evolve and my ball-striking and form continues to get better under Marc’s Direction. There are no quick fixes in golf-yet Marc helps me get on track when I get off the process of continual improvement. He’s committed to me evolving and improving and his lessons help me build upon a solid foundation. I learn what I have to continue to work on with Marc. I also recommend Marc’s conditioning workouts to solidify the “CORE” and build a solid foundation and balance needed to play your best golf. As I approach 50 I need to continue to improve my fitness and Marc’s Bi-Weekly one hour sessions helped me achieve a good foundation over the cold winter months before spring golf arrived this year. I continue to use his exercises in my weekly routine now that golf season is in full swing.

After persuasion from my husband, I agreed to sign up for a package of golf lessons. Not only did I have a wonderful sense of accomplishment, but I truly enjoyed the lessons. Marc has the keen ability to communicate his knowledge and instruction in a way specific for each student to understand. His eye for swing detail is outstanding. And his technical equipment is next to none. I'm now signed up to work on my short game. If you want your next round to be "a walk in the park", see Marc.

Compliments….. I receive them from many of Oakhurst’s low-handicappers who have seen my index drop steadily from 28 to 15 over the last 4-5 years. I have worked with Marc exclusively over that time. Have him queue-up the ‘before & after’ video footage of my swing….it represents the cliff-notes of my improvement story. The only other data-point you need is this: my average driving distance has increased from 225 to 275 using the same driver. I’m a card-carrying member of the Marc White fan club.
Paul Cloutier
Your fundamental approach to teaching the golf swing has helped my game immensely. I now have a clear idea of how to set and approach each shot which gives me the ability to swing the club with confidence. After years of frustration on the golf course, you have helped make the game of golf fun. Thank you!
Tim Schafer
Marc White has been working with me for several years on all aspects of my game. His casual and encouraging style immediately put me at ease in the lesson. I make it a point to get with him every year and have done so for five years now. He has been critical to my reducing my index by 10 strokes over that time from a 23 down to a 13. Marc’s made an investment in state of the art teaching technology that I find vital to understanding and fixing my swing flaws. It’s obvious that he makes continuing education a big part of his teaching as well. He’s always coming up with a simple, clear way to communicate the concept he’s trying to teach. I don’t see ever getting to a point in my game where I won’t count on Marc for his sound professional advise.
Chris MacCourtney
With your instruction my game is a world away from the way from the way it was last year, but what I am really amazed about is how much the (radical) golf fitness class helped my game. It's unbelievable how much a balanced and stable lower body helps the golf swing! After taking the class, it was just there. I didn't have to think about it at all. What an invaluable class. Sign me up again next year!
Carlyn Kirk
Marc is an amazing golf instructor. He has a lot of experience and has done a ton of research on the golf swing. What makes his lessons successful is not just what he is teaching, but how he is teaching it. Besides explaining to his students what he wants them to do, he also physically puts his students into the right swing pattern by putting them into specific drills so that his students can feel the difference between swings. I feel that my overall golf game has become stronger and more consistent thanks to Marc's teachings from his lessons. If someone came up to me and asked me for a recommendation of a good golf instructor, Marc White would pop into my head in a heartbeat.
Renee Kuczeski
If it’s broke, Marc can fix it. Whether by his naked eye, or by his sophisticated video equipment, Marc will identify any serious swing flaws you may have, and work with you on drills to help get your swing where it needs to be. Some teachers may try to get their pupils to make radical swing changes. Not Marc. He will work with what you have, and make adjustments which will allow you to hit the ball better without tearing your swing apart. Broken swing? See Marc!

Having been a 15 – 18 handicapper for a few years, I came to the realization that in order to improve further, I needed to get some professional help to rebuild my swing which was becoming quite ugly. I understood that my mechanics were all wrong, and that I needed someone who could not only recognize the problems, but could adapt their teaching methods to my learning curve.
I really liked the fact that Marc not only agreed to teach me, but he also spent a few minutes with me, to question me on my incentives, and my goals. I thought that was an important point, as it made me verbalize my goal of trying to get to a single digit handicap, which became a commitment to the new swing, grip, setup and mental approach.
Since I started taking lessons with Marc, my entire game has become much more enjoyable. At first it was difficult, as I struggled to put into play the lessons that Marc had taught me until the muscle memory started to take place. In the last few months, I have noticed that I have been able to shape the ball, either left or right and understand what went wrong when I make a bad swing. As a great quantitative measurement, I found that I’m suddenly longer by at least 1 club length, sometimes 2, simply because of my improved mechanics. That was an unexpected surprise and really helped to give legitimacy to my decision to consult a true professional. I believe Marc is a true student of the game, and someone who because of his approach can help anyone at any level.

Marc White's golf fitness class has definitely helped me add distance to my game. This class is awesome, It's packed with exercises that are golf specific and I have learned so much from Marc's expertise in this area. Marc takes the time to teach so many different moves that have been very benificial. I love this class.
Jason Latimer
I have been taking lessons from Marc White for three years and he has helped me develop into one of the best high school golfers in Oakland County. Whether it be summer or winter, Marc is available to help me virtually anytime I need it. Marc can help with the mental, physical, and technical aspects of the game. He has an electronic swing analysis system and a launch monitor that acts as an “instant replay” for the golf swing. He has also helped me with my golf fitness, which has lead to an increase of about 40 yards off the tee. Marc also works with a certified clubmaker who can get you perfectly fitted for the right clubs for your swing. Over the course of three years, Marc has helped me get my scoring average down twelve or more strokes. Whether you are a low or high handicap player, Marc can help you fine tune your game and get you playing better golf instantly. I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for my golf game.
Tommy Ronk
Marc,
Tom forgot to talk about what personal support you have given to him over the last three years. I think he enjoys talking with you more than either Steve or me. You are able to give him the motivation to believe in himself even when his game is not at the top. We truly appreciate all that you have done for him not only related to his golf game but related to handling the ups and downs of life in general.

Working out of a golf studio at GLAC in the winter and at Oakhurst Country club in the summer you can practice golf all year round. Marc is very personable and he cares about golf. He is a motivator and is excited to share his experiences with you. Professional in all aspects of golf he produces outstanding players year after year.
Eddie Natavio
Marc is the finest golf professional and instructor I have worked with over the years. His teaching style is easy for me to understand as he works within my swing to help me improve, not forcing me to undergo a complete “makeover”. The great cues and drills I have gotten from him continue to be with me year after year.
Sally Seymour
Following my decision to commit long term to improving my golf game I met Marc in the spring of 2000. Today, exclusively through him I continue learning all aspects of the game.
Working with Marc, I have improved swing mechanics, play with properly fitted equipment, and have learned about the mental aspects of sports, golf specifically from a very knowledgeable sports psychology teaching partner. Through his Titleist Performance Fitness Certification I exercise regularly better understanding the value of golf specific fitness, which helps more than just my golf game.
He is dedicated to his teaching profession, continually adding to his teaching equipment with video swing analysis, laser launch monitors as well as his personal knowledge. Marc attends seminars and continues to upgrade his certifications which greatly enhance the students learning experience. I feel at ease hitting shots on the lesson tee, can comprehend his answers to my questions and believe Marc has a genuine interest in his student's success, often demonstrated spending that extra minute when he has it.
With Marc's instruction I have funneled my efforts in a proper direction, thereby gaining consistently better golf shots, more regularly achieving my personal goals and playing more relaxed, greatly enhancing my overall enjoyment of the game.
If you are considering golf lessons, hoping to improve your game and willing to expend a relative effort to your goals, I can only highly recommend working with Marc. I believe you'll find it excellent value.
Peter Mckay
Although I played golf for many years, I never understood the golf swing and struggled to hit the ball with any trajectory or consistency. Marc White didn't just show me how to hit the ball better, he gave me an understanding of the golf swing and the confidence to make the changes I needed to make to improve. I really look forward to my lessons and working on my game. I've referred many women golfers and they agree. So do yourself a favor--stop struggling and call Marc!
