I heard it through the grapevine…
Here is what our amazing students have to say about their experience with us!
“I have always enjoyed golfing – I joked around about not being that great, had fun with the boys etc…. I knew that I could always be better, and wanted to but thought I could figure it out on my own… well, after many painful years of BAD golf, I said enough and decided to try the Canadian Golf Academy for help – I had heard great things. So, I went to my first lesson and WOW, I couldn’t believe the difference in my game – instantly! I was a new golfer, and as the lessons continued I just kept hitting it….. I was under par on the 18th tee for the first time ever (I will take full responsibility for the last hole, oops). The results after a short period at the academy are amazing! I recommend anyone interested in and who enjoys the game of golf to try the Academy. Results aside, the staff make you feel like family and the atmosphere is amazing, they will even laugh at your jokes. Thanks for everything guys, this was the easiest piece of writing ever, keep up the amazing work, and your professional and caring attitude!!”

“I just wanted to send a message thanking you for the amazing 1/2 day clinic my wife and I had at your facility on Aug 6. Everyone there is obviously well versed on the lost art of Customer Service, from helping us with our bags, picking us up in the parking lot and everything!Landon Drew & Carol Salamone, TO
Kyle was an excellent teacher and has helped my game so much. I am playing the best golf I have ever played. He was patient, fun and fantastic at both explaining techniques, and helping us put them into practice. My wife and I are at very different levels, her only a year into playing and me with 30+ years of playing (& 30+ yrs of bad habits) but each of us came away with a better sense of the game and proper techniques. I have already recommended to many people that if they are on the island, to look into going to your amazing facility. Thank-you so much, I am sure the next time we visit PEI, we will visit you again.”

“We wanted you to know that Kyle was extremely effective in teaching us the full range of techniques, in identifying and correcting our particular problems, and in allowing us to feel so much better about our game. Thanks to Kyle we now understand the principles of a proper putting stroke, chip, pitch and full swing, combined with his expert guidance, correction, and drills in applying them. In five lessons over six days, Kyle has significantly improved our game and he has empowered Winkie and me to enjoy golf much more. Kyle not only possesses excellent communication skills, he is sensitive to various individual challenges, and he has the ability to “connect” on a personal level. His easy manner and sense of humor made the program not only very effective but extremely comfortable and enjoyable as well. Kyle has instilled in us the confidence to feel good about our golf, allowing us to continually improve and better enjoy our game. He represents the CGA at the highest level of professionalism and client service and he is obviously dedicated to a successful outcome. Kyle not only has the gift of prowess in golf, he possesses the gift of being able to translate, communicate and transfer his knowledge with optimum effectiveness, and deliver it with an engaging and positive attitude. Through Kyle’s instruction, we not only improved our golf skills dramatically, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the process. You should also know that we were really impressed with your facility and staff. The condition of all of the practice areas was first class. As for the staff, Lindsay and the young guys that taxied us back and forth to the parking lot were all very helpful and friendly. One of them even cleaned our clubs! This kind of treatment does not go unnoticed and it creates an overall impression of high quality service and professionalism. As manager, you deserve a lot of credit for training and motivating your team to these standards.

- Jacques Roussel, NB
“…We loved every minute of the instruction and practice time. I am so excited that I now know what to do and how to do it and I feel more confident already.

Goodluck with the Academy! They are lucky to have you.”

It was a top notch training facility with very professional staff and teaching areas. The front line staff – Lindsay, Meghan, Craig and Spencer – were polite and welcoming; what any employer would value. A special thanks to Kyle for helping me with my grip and recommending proper club length.”

“Great experience. Greg and Louie were quite knowledgeable and able to share information easily, professionally and with humor. Great tips for those difficult short shots around greens.”
– Keith MacGillivray, NS
“I really enjoyed the instruction and all the people were terrific. I’ve been working on the drills that Kyle and Lou gave me and have made some time for a little more practice. Since I’ve returned, my handicap index has dropped from 11.6 to 8.8 and I feel that all aspects of my game have improved. My full swing is a lot more solid now that I’m more on plane and my short game has noticeably improved. I’ve been chipping it closer, including chipping a couple in – the 1 putts are up and the 3 putts are way down. I still have a way to go, but you guys have put me on the right path (or plane). Take care and thanks again.”
– Jim Young, NFLD
“Was worth the money by the half-way mark of the training sessions. Greg’s training methodology is easy to follow.”
– Robert Cihelka, ON
“Very informative – even though it was information overload it was handled professionally and in a manner that I was able to retain to put in my book for practice and reference. Thank you for a great day!”
– Rod Beaumont, ON
“Greg is an amazingly good teacher. Took time to break down skills and explained correction concisely in a manner that was easily understood. Loads of positive reinforcement makes learning new skills fun and there was never a point where I felt intimidated or belittled. I hope when we return that Greg will lead us through another great session.”
– Kathleen Beaumont, ON
“This was my first chance to play and my first time on a golf course – I had a ball. I even enjoyed watching the foxes steal golf balls. I will be back!”
– Kevin Deagle, NS
“Great day with Kyle and I learned what I have to do to fix my swing. A very pleasant and positive approach was refreshing. He spoke in a very understandable language.”
– Tim O’Leary, NB
