Junior golf is a great way to teach life lessons. I am starting my daughter off early and she is already teaching me a thing or two at her young age. I have been teaching junior golfers for many years and this year two of the juniors that I worked with are going into their freshman year in college. I wish them the best as they move forward in their golf career. Keep an eye out for these guys, they are good! Here are a few comments they wrote describing their experience learning from me...
"My name is Patrick Grimes and I am about to start my freshman year on the golf team at Stanford University. For a year during my high school career at Menlo School, I was fortunate enough to have Matt as our head coach. That year was hands down the most fun, productive, and successful year of my career at Menlo, and I believe that Matt played a huge part in that success. He was extremely level-headed as a coach, and made himself extremely approachable whenever we had questions or needed help. All of us were very comfortable around him, which allowed all of us on the team to work very efficiently and enjoy the experience, all of which contributed to a successful season. That year we advanced to our section championship, something Menlo had not accomplished in over 10 years..."
"My experience working with Matt was nothing less than spectacular. He helped my game go from an average level to an above average level in weeks. With a few easy swing tips I was hitting the ball longer and straighter than I ever have before... He has you work with the swing you have and helps you with your posture and ultimately makes you a better more consistent player when it's all said and done. Matt helped me mainly with my swing path and had me hitting up on the ball to increase my driving distance dramatically. He also told me I dropped my head slightly when I attacked the ball. He gave me some things to practice at the range and told me to stay confident and when its all done you will be a more consistent player in the long run. Sure enough after about a month I saw a drop in my scoring average and a more consistent golf game every time I went out on the course. Matt would also see me frequently around the course and stop by and give me a few tips if needed. He also hooked me up with some of the latest technology in golf balls such as the Nike 20XIs. Basically, the time I spent with Matt helped me become the golfer I am today and escalated my game to be one of the best at my college, Georgia Southern University. Thanks to Matt the sky is the limit." -Mason Welch

The sales from their everyday lines don't normally go to charity but recently they have done something wonderful... This first polo is called The Jake Polo, named after Jake Olson, this is his story... 
The second polo is one that was created through a contest "Design Bubba's U.S. Open Polo". Bubba Watson will wear this during the tournament and the winner will be flown out to watch. $10 from the sale of every shirt will go to Birdies for the Brave, the Military outreach initiative proudly supported by the PGA Tour. Watch to find out where your donation is going... 
Tell me this is not just Awesome!!! Feel free to share your thoughts by leaving a comment. You might also catch Matt wearing a Travis Mathew shirt in the shop or on the lesson tee.
