Jonathan is truly one of the world's elite golf instructors.  I have been impressed with his work since we first became associated in the mid-nineties when he taught at several of my academies around the globe.  More recently, his work with Michael Campbell is well documented as a catalyst for his victories at the 2005 US Open, World Match Play Championship and several others establishing Michael as one of the world's best players.  Additionally, he has worked extensively with numerous PGA tour players. I was sorry to see him leave my organisation last year to focus full time on a handful of touring professionals, but those who have benefited from his full time attention, like Michael, are going to be very pleased.

David Gasset

I have been working with Jonathan since I was 15 years old and he helped me win my first PGA Tour event at age 22.  Jonathan's commitment to his student, coupled with his organised, efficient style of coaching makes him one of the world's best teachers.

Aree Song

Jonathan has a unique ability of sensing what I need to do in order to improve my performance.  He has been there from the very beginning, and has helped me excel at all levels of the game - junior, amateur and professional. I would not be where I am today without his guidance.

Naree Song

I do not know anyone else who can fix my swing in 5 minutes.

Sam Osborne

I have had lessons from many coaches but none have given me such a clear and definite purpose for my golf swing.  Since seeing Jonathan I am more motivated and more excited to play than ever before.  Seeing results almost immediately gives you great confidence.

Trent Leon

Jonathan in the only instructor I have ever worked with who has not only helped me infinitely on my golf swing but also getting the ball in the hole.  Compared with other instructors, Jonathan is equally as knowledgeable about the short game and scoring aspects of golf as he is about the golf swing, which is not easy to find in golf coaches today.

Harmeet Kahlon - Asian Tour

Jonathan has complete knowledge about the golf swing, short game, putting, course management, equipment and golf psychology.  He is a very hardworking and sincere and is always available for advice on the phone and computer, which is a great asset. Jonathan is probable the most complete Golf Coach in the world.
