Hey Liam! Just wanted to let you know I shot a 78 from the whites today! It’s actually my best round ever, and it felt like everything we’ve been working on really clicked. I’m super excited about the progress and can’t wait to build on this in our next session!

Having had 3 lessons with Liam I cannot recommend him highly enough. As a relative beginner I now have clubs that fit and a handicap that is coming down. What a difference his excellent tuition has made to my game.

Our work on my driver has paid off I just drove it 230 yards on hole 14! Every hole has felt a lot more reachable because my driving has been so good.

I started classes with Coach Liam a couple of months ago, and the improvement has been awesome, very professional and encouraging. I started playing about 18 months ago and I’ve been able to get much better in a short time. Amazing Coach.

I highly recommend Liam Sullivan’s services as a professional golf coach. When I started working with Liam, I was fighting 15+ years of bad habits and struggling to find the right fit for lessons. He spent time talking with me first — to assess my goals and commitment… Then he observed me on the driving range before commenting on the state of my swing. I was struck by his ability to “meet me where I was” and he instantly provided helpful feedback that reaffirmed my initial goals and encouraged me to think beyond. What’s most impressive is that he consistently simplifies golf fundamentals for me during every session — into easily digestible bits that I can easily practice in-between lessons. Golf can be really difficult, but with Liam’s coaching I feel more confident each time I play. Having said that, the numbers speak for themselves… When I started, I was usually shooting 100-110 and losing 5-6 balls per round. Recently I’ve shot in the high 80’s without losing more than 1 ball!

I asked Liam to give me his bosses email address so I could pass on what a great lesson I had last week. I have been playing golf for many years but I am not that good . I play in a golf group of retired guys, I’m 76, every Tuesday . The last 3-4 months I have not been able to get off the tee box. Topping the ball, falling backwards, slicing the ball, just horrible. Of course all my golf buddies tried to help me to but to no avail 😟. I played eagle creek a few week ago and loved the course. Saw your golf academy tent and set up. I decided to sign up out of frustration and get some help from a Coach. Liam had me hit some balls and we talked about why I wanted Lessons and about my problems. After about 10 minutes of hitting balls and Liam analyzing my swing he said I know what your problem is and told me to take a few swings with a towel under both arms. Well it worked !! I was hitting the ball straight and long. Then Liam adjusted my driver loft and the ball went further. I even had a few draw hits. Anyway, it was amazing and my swing improved immensely!

He was good !!! Then I played golf with my group. They couldn’t believe how well I was hitting the ball. Outdriving some of them . I finally told them I took a lesson . They now call me “Towel Guy “ . I gave them Liam’s business cards but not sure if they will sign up or not I have two more lessons left and I want to work on my short game. I am looking forward to working with Liam again. Great coach ! I just wanted to pass on my success story to you. Good job Liam!! Thanks !!

I choose to go to Eagle Creek and I am currently working with Liam Sullivan. Liam has been amazing to work with. We spent the first session which is the New Student assessment we spent 10 mins getting to know each other and me talking about my game. We then moved to the range where I went through swinging different clubs and Liam was taking notes. At the end we sat down and discussed program options. 

In my two lessons I have had so far I am already seeing amazing results. We are making changes to my grip, stance, take away and how close I am to the ball. I have gone from struggling to hit my clubs, to hitting them clean and as pure as I can hit them right now.  We have also discussed and worked on my transition from back swing to down swing and that has helped tremendously in my ability to hit solid iron and wood shots while also allowing me to hit solid and controlled wedge shots. I left my second lesson grinning from ear to ear at how well I was hitting my all my clubs. His instruction and guidance has been amazing. Of course you get out what you put in and I have been practicing almost everyday and recording myself to make sure I am not falling back to my old swing and habits.

If you are looking for a strong coach to help you improve I highly recommend Liam at Eagle Creek.
