PRAISE

"Years ago David Hobby and I were aspiring Touring Professionals. When sharing hotel rooms, across the country, oftentimes we would return to the hotel room at night, hook up our "camcorders" to the television, and analyze our swings; always in pursuit of more efficient swings and more predictable results. Years later, that attention to detail paid off as I went on to win the Open Championship and become PGA Tour Player of the Year.

My friend played professionally for nine years, and has gone on to share his knowledge and insight with the thousands of students that he has coached. Whether you are new to golf, an advanced player, or somewhere in between, I encourage you to work with David Hobby. He can help you enjoy greater success in the game. Good luck!"

"There are Touring Professionals, and there are Teaching Professionals...rarely is a professional successful in both realms. When David Hobby qualified to play as a full time PGA Tour Member, we developed a friendship and played many, many rounds together. In that time, I can tell you David played at a level, and in pressure filled situations, that few players (and coaches) have experienced.

For you, the student, being coached by a technician of the game who has given tens of thousands of private lessons, and has successfully played in major championships, means that you can trust his expertise... he didn't just learn it in a book. If you are looking for a quality coach, I encourage you to draw on David Hobby's vast experience, he can help you enjoy the game even more."

"David Hobby has been coaching my 16 year old son since he was 9 years old, and has been an invaluable part of his development as a competitive junior golfer. David has a way with young students, earning their respect and getting their full attention. Not only did he help my son build a beautiful swing, but he also served as a wonderful role model, reinforcing the qualities of character that are fundamental to golf. Two years ago, my son made it to the California state championships as a freshman, and when he came off the 18th green, David and his wife were there to greet him. That level of care and commitment means everything when a young person is developing as an athlete and a young man. My wife and I will never be able to thank David sufficiently for what he has done for our son, and I recommend him in glowing terms to anyone searching for an exemplary coach for their junior golfer.  You cannot do any better than David!"

-- Brad Arnold

"We started taking lessons from David when we were eight or nine years old, and at that point we had no golf skill whatsoever. Through the years, David coached us in the fundamentals of golf. We not only learned how to make the ball go where we want it to go, but along the way we also learned the etiquette and rules of the game... everything we needed to know (to not only play the game recreationally, with friends and family, but also to play successfully at the competitive level). We are at college now, and we both can say that our time with David has equipped us to confidently play the game for a lifetime."

-- Sarah & Mary Kim

"Mr. Hobby started working with me at the age of 13.  Through the years he was crucial in my development as a junior player, and eventually as a Division III All American.  His patience along with his knowledge of the game gives him a fun and effective teaching style.  I can't stress enough how much better I have become due to the teachings of David Hobby."
