What Do Dr. Cohn's Golf Students Say?

TOUR PROFESSIONALS

"You have helped me with my routine. We talked about how you don’t want to manufacture a routine—it’s almost like it has a flow to it—you pull your club and boom you are into it. You should glide through the routine. It’s when you try to make yourself stick to a cadence; the routine feels out of sync. Helping me get into the flow of the routine has been a big help."
~Joe Durant, PGA Tour winner

"To play well, you have to believe you can play well. Confidence goes a long way in golf.  Patrick has developed a great system for helping me improve confidence and my overall mental approach to golf.”
~Brian Watts, 11-time Winner on the PGA Japan Tour

Dr. Cohn has taught me excellent practice drills for putting that have helped me become a better putter.”
~J.L. Lewis, PGA Tour winner

The change in attitude I had after reading the Mental Art of Putting and Listening to Great Putting—Right Now was incredible. Thank you very much Dr. Cohn.”
~Jaime Gomez, Nike Tour, Canadian Tour winner

“I can't tell you how clearly I was able to think during all four rounds of tour-school. The simple game plan you gave me really focused me. My confidence level has never been higher during a tournament.

~Patricia Baxter-Johnson, LPGA Tour

Chris got through PGA Tour Q-School with flying colors!  He finished second, even with a double bogie, to be exact…. I felt it necessary to thank you myself for all you did for him. I know you had only spoken with him a few times, but he really got a lot out of it. You REALLY did get him on the right track to a better mental approach to this crazy game of golf. Thank you again for everything.”

AMATUER, JUNIOR, & COLLEGE GOLFERS:

~Brian Belden, Winner 2003 AJGA Steel City Junior Classic & Marsh Junior at Hawk Pointe

“Thank you for the past 4 months working with me under your virtual coaching program. My game has improved dramatically since we worked together last year.

Thanks again for all your knowledge and input.”
~Steven Fink, scratch golfer

“Last weekend Lisa played in a Florida Junior Golf Association tournament in Gainesville. She played great and won (74-70=144) over 43 other competitors! She's starting to really believe in herself and her stats are improving each tournament. She is thinking better and making much smarter decisions on the course. Thanks again for your help Dr. Cohn. I'll keep you posted.”
~Scott Tyler, Father of Lisa Tyler

“I wanted to let you know that I completed the championship match of the local match play tournament a few days after our phone session. I won, 1 up!  I never got the lead in this match until the 17th hole. I think the two things that helped me the most that day were our work on preshot routines and understanding how to focus on the process. Thanks again for your help!”
~Karl Sanders, Amateur golfer

“I would like to thank you again for our last mental coaching session, which did offer me yesterday my personal best round ever! On a golf course where I had never scored better than 77, I scored a 73 in competition. My defensive and protective golf is now gone (thanks to you) and some bad principles. I cannot believe the incredible inner work this simple session has produced on me and I would like to thank you again for that. With all my gratefulness,”
~Emmanuel Grizaud, Amateur Golfer

“Since working with Dr. Cohn, I made a some breakthroughs in my golf game. By focusing on process goals during my round, I was able to play my first round ever without a bogey. I shot 68 with two birdies and an eagle. All the principles we worked on to increase trust and confidence have helped me have more fun and shoot better scores.”
~David Mitchell, Virtual Mental Game Coaching Student

“Good news! This weekend I won the Louisville Club Championship. I shot 68-67 and won by eight strokes. I did not know I could shoot nine under par for two rounds!  All the work we have done on the phone and in Orlando has really helped me enjoy golf (and life) a lot more. This win was a dream come true for me. It would not have been possible without your help. Thanks again for all of your help.”
~David Mitchell, Mental Game Coaching Student

“Hank has consistently improved over the summer. He is getting longer and more confident. He often talks about the techniques that you have shared with him to his game and success. We visited my home in Wisconsin last week and he shot a 69 on my old home course which is a one under round.  Thanks for your help.”
~Billy Dettlaff, Hank’s Father

“I wanted to let you know that I had a career round last week at TPC Summerlin. I shot a 65 beating my previous career round of 66 (which I shot about 20 years ago!). This was also 2 shots better than my previous "course" record at Summerlin.”
~Steven Fink

“You have worked with my older son David May and had a very positive impact on his golf game. I have a younger son that is 15 that would like to work with you now. David is doing great. He is playing golf for Clemson University. He earned a full-ride scholarship to Clemson and is playing #1 position as a freshman. So what you taught him has worked great. Thank you!”
~Kris May, David May’s Father

 “Once again, a sincere Thank You for working with me several years ago.  Our work set me on a path of improving my game to a level I truly used to have difficulty believing.  However, the proof is in my results this year. This is the first "individual" tournament I have won in many years! My best overall performance in the 5 years I have been playing SNGA tournaments.”
~Steven Fink

“In my last competition, I used your coaching to play without a score focus. In the past, I have looked at my score after every hole. This round I did not! The guy who was marking my card told me my score after nine and I immediately put it out of my head. I shot 79, totaled 37 stable ford points, won the event by 5 points and broke 80! It wasn't till after we got off the 18th that I was told I broke 80. I just focused upon the shot at hand each time and it worked like a treat! Thanks for the advice!”
~Lee Summerfield

“I had written to you before about my successes in college, but I have one better now. I was named to the 2006 Division III All-America team this past spring at the National Championship. More importantly, I really just wanted to thank you for the service you provided for the short period we worked together.”
~Drew Denton

GOLF COACHES

“Our meeting with you in Orlando far exceeded my expectations! Our conference stroke average was 310, 18 shots better than last year! Our #1 man, Micah Beckwith, earned all-Mid Central Conference honors with a 76 average. I strongly feel that part of our improvement came from our four-hour session with you during our spring break trip in March! I would come up to players during tournament rounds and remind them of what you taught us. When they had a tough situation, I asked them, "What would Doc Cohn say about this?" I have passed along your materials to our incoming freshmen as well. I will encourage our players to contact you for further help! Many thanks.”
~Pete Schownir, Golf Coach Huntington College

"Dr. Cohn's custom-fitted program helped us to play our way into a stronger, final round position, in each of our Fall events and he gave us enough time to focus on individual player needs".
~Jim Fee, Golf Coach University of South Florida

You have helped me in many ways and many of my players are that much better because of your influence in me.”
~Joe Thiel, PGA Master Golf Professional

“I approached Dr. Cohn for help with a case of the "yips".  Not only has he helped me with my putting, but he has helped me learn to put golf into perspective in relation to the rest of my life. I'm pleased to have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Cohn, and truly value what he has been able to help me learn.  I highly recommend Dr. Cohn for anyone looking to learn about the mental and emotional sides of golf. Thank you as always for making me a better teacher.”
