Testimonials


  1. ​​    "My wife Dianna and I attended the Harvey Penick Golf Academy in early April.

    I'd just like to reiterate what an enjoyable time we had with Jim at the Academy. For once golf seemed like fun rather than hard work!

    Wolfdancer is a great course and Jim was a fine ambassador for not only the Academy but for Wolfdancer and the Hyatt facilities. He and the whole staff - from the bag drop, to the proshop, starters, staff in the restaurant and the guys who took care of us when we finished - provided Dianna and me with a first class experience and vacation.    "

  2. "Shot 79 yesterday in the wind (lowest in quite a while) with birdies on 17 and 18. Thanks to you guys.  Believe it or not, Linda has been practicing every day with Lori. Thought I’d never see that, ever. Those two have been taking your instructions VERY seriously. 

    What a wonderful experience we all had with you and Dave. Can’t thank you enough for your patience, humor, and terrific instruction. You helped make the whole two days a happy memory we will keep forever."

    "I know it's early...but I'll share the initial report from round one.
    Front nine, had to get an idea and start to trust what "chute" the ball was going to come out of.  Tended to keep aiming right and hit where I aimed without much draw.  43 Trusted that I'd start the ball more on-line on the back nine. Aimed more down the middle and at the pins. 35
    so...a promising 78 out of the gates.

    Hitting lots of sweet spots with my little half swings in practice.  Hope to keep it up and start taking dead aim!"
