  This past weekend I spent a very enjoyable day golfing at the Els Club but unfortunately my game was not too good so I decided to try and get a quick lesson and due to my fine experience at the Els they seemed an obvious choice. I noted they had a Butch Harmon Academy so I contacted them and the young lady I spoke was extremely helpful and provisionally booked me for a 8pm group lesson that evening. I had a trip to Abu Dhabi and the young lady rang me on route to confirm the lesson with Jamie at 8pm. I had to cut short that visit to get back in time as she advised me to get there a bit early to warm up. I arrived at 7:40 pm and went to the bag drop and asked where I can meet Jamie? I was directed to the floodlit range. I then met one of the staff at the range and again asked where can I meet Jamie. I was told to go and use the range and he will come over. 8pm comes and goes, a few people using the range, two young guys seeming to get a lesson at the end of the range. At 8:15 the employee I met at the range drove past me and said Jamie was on the putting green (it was the guy with the two young men). At this point it was gone 8:15 and no one had even come to look for me. I put my clubs back in my car and then I went over to Jamie and asked why he did not come looking for me. “You weren’t confirmed”. Of course I was confirmed, the young lady rang me to confirm. I cut short my visit to Abu Dhabi to return. Jamie apologised and said I could join in now but I declined as a quarter of my expected lesson had passed. I am sure it is just a misunderstanding but it is the Academy staff responsibility to ensure bookings run smoothly. I hope they improve their processes from this feedback. They have fantastic facilities so I am sure they will be a big success and I wish them well.

  Alex Riggs is the best golf coach we have ever had. He can always find the right words to explain you in an easy way the things you should do to improve your performance. He has all the range of modern devices that are interesting to try both indoors and outdoors and that will help you a lot to realize your strengths and weaknesses. And Alex is a just a great person himself! He is always full of energy and positive emotions! He gave us advices on fine dining and places to visit. Our experience with Alex was amazing! We recommend everyone to have him as a coach!
