I'm an 11 handicap with the goal to be a scratch golfer, and since I've been working with Maria, I can actually see that being possible... Thanks Maria!
Dan James, St. Louis, Missouri
You restored my passion for golf! Learned more about the golf swing in one lesson with you than my 40 plus years of playing golf. I especially loved the visual feedback and analysis that you provided with video...
Dr. PG Schmitz, St. Louis, MO
I met Maria about 3 years ago at a point in my golf career when I was ready to walk away from the game!.. I was a mid to upper 90's golfer, and now I am an 8 handicap..
