"After
more then 20 years away from the game of golf, I’ve
gotten bitten by the golf bug once again. My other
concern was my wife whom I wanted to learn the game and
had never really swung a golf club before .My junior son
who is a very good baseball player, also wanted to learn
the game of golf. I wanted a teacher that could work
with us individually. Boy did I pick the right guy. Sean
Lanyi. Sean Lanyi exemplifies the word professional in
P.G.A. He is courteous, considerate and has the
student’s genuine interest at heart. That’s what’s so
great about Sean as a teacher. He assesses your goals
and then through his training methods and superior
knowledge of the golf swing, Sean makes your goals
become reality. My wife got a little discouraged a
couple of times but Sean gave her the confidence and
encouragement to continue to work hard and enjoy the
game. She now has a better understanding for the golf
game and the golf swing and we have enjoyed several
rounds of golf together. My son, thanks to Sean’s great
teaching ability and patience has taken on such a great
passion for the game. My son after taking lessons from
Sean enjoyed the game so much that he almost thought
about going out for the varsity Golf team instead of
baseball. Since working with Sean he has gone from
shooting 120’s to the low 90’s within 6 weeks. For
myself what can I say? When I told Sean I wanted to get
back to my single digit handicap that I had when I was
in my 20’s he immediately set me on a course to
accomplish that goal. One of the best tools I liked was
his use of video for you to gain a better understanding
of your golf swing. His technical analysis of the golf
swing is incredible. He also e-mailed me updated copies
of my swing so you actually can see a visual
improvement. Through patience, persistence and practice
Sean makes you realize anything is possible. Thanks for
everything Sean, you’re the best."

Golf Lessons with Sean are paying off! In spite of
myself, I've discovered my golf game is actually
improving! Sean's easy-going style and sharp eye
on how best to improve one's game, I'm hitting the ball
farther and with more accuracy than ever before!
Fat chance I will ever make the LPGA Tour but my
improved golf game sure makes it a lot more fun when I
play golf on the weekends with my husband! John is
just as pleased with the improvement in his own game,
thanks to Sean's skillful mentoring we both enjoy our
time together on the golf course! Thanks Sean!

"Sean Lanyi was the first golf instructor I ever
trusted with my golf game. I was an accomplished junior
and amateur player receiving dozens of golf scholarships
for college. After deciding to stay home and hone my
skills, I began working with Sean and my game went to a
level I had never seen nor expected. I went from a
scratch golfer to a +4 handicap and recording my lowest
rounds ever. Not only did Sean make my golf swing better
and more consistent, he also developed my short game
from an inconsistent weakness into something I could
rely on. Sean’s passion for golf is immediately seen and
his desire to improve his students is immense. Sean
takes a great care in not only his students games but
their lives as well. Sean’s personality and passion make
the lessons fun and will make you want to improve your
game. Sean is the only person I will trust with my golf
game and have the pleasure of considering him a great
friend off the course as well. "

"Sean was my first golf instructor. I went to golf school
with my husband not to learn for myself, but to support his
efforts to learn a new sport. As a 50 year old women who
had never held a golf club to say I was intimidated would be an
understatement. Sean teaching ability is amazing!
Not only did he teach me the fundamentals, I came away with a
love for the game. I have yet to break 100, but know it is
in my immediate future. I left with the tools to improve
my game, a good practice routine and the knowledge that I can
continue to improve. Sean never gave up, even when I
wanted to. He would just explain in a different way and
kindly lead me to success. You can tell Sean loves the
game. I would recommend Sean to anyone who wants to
improve or get back their love for the game, or like myself has
never been on a golf course!"

“My
son and I attended a five – day school and all I can say is that
we had one of the best weeks we could possibly imagine.
The golf school exceeded our expectations in every
possible dimension.
Obviously, the key is a fantastic instructor as Sean Lanyi
certainly fills that role.
Sean is such a mature and patient individual, and quite
an excellent communicator.
He works with poise and a great sense of humor.
True gentlemen, Sean made this week the best father-son
experience I have ever had, and created memories that will last
a lifetime.”
Ashley Anderson Jr.
“I believe that one of Sean Lanyi’s greatest strengths is how
much time and effort he has given to crafting the complex set of
movements of the golf swing into simple segments of a
coordinated lesson plan.
As a long-time dedicated golfer, I can appreciate the
tremendous amount of thought that created a set drills and
technique that Sean so easily, and graciously, conveys to his
students.”
Gregory M. Hawkins
“Sean’s overall knowledge, confidence, creativity and passion
for teaching the game of golf make him a sough after instructor.
Above and beyond teaching golf, Sean has a natural
business sense and knows what it takes to build a successful
golf instruction operation.
He makes ample contributions to the PGA Section and to
the growth of junior golf.
Sean has a zest for life and a broad range of talents.
He can relate to people in many ways and on many levels,
making for a world class golf professional, businessman and
educator.”
Jerry King, PGA
Director of Instruction
Kapalua Golf Academy
“The true essence of the game is the feel of the integrity,
history, and invigorating and healthful aspects that rounds golf
out as the premier sport for any and all ages. You are a
ricochet of all these things through your consistent
professionalism and outstanding teaching methodology.
You are a great credit to the game of golf. I am grateful
for your teaching skills, but more than that, I am pleased and
proud to have you as a friend.”
John F. Sweeney
“I thought Sean would tweak my swing and make some minor
adjustments. No such luck. Starting with my grip, he changed
everything—the address, spine angle, distance from the ball,
ball position, take away, the load, etc., etc., etc. It was
agony. Sean had me doing all kinds of exercises like hitting an
impact bag and pushing a 2x4 creating extension.
To his credit, Sean did ask me at the beginning what my
goals were, and I told him I want to be a scratch golfer within
five years. Sean took me seriously and built a program to help
me accomplish that.
If you’re looking for an instructor who gets results—and has a
vision for a full-blown instructional program that will build a
name for a golf club/country club—Sean Lanyi is your man.”
Scott Oelke
“Sean is a model of what a golf professional should be –
conscientious, responsible and highly skilled in the game of
golf, both as a player and a teacher.
Sean is highly intelligent with a very curious nature
about the mechanics of the swing and short game and always
looking to improve his knowledge of teaching.”
Jim Waldron
Director of Instruction
Balance Point Golf Training
“Sean consistently maintains his enthusiasm and more importantly
is able to inspire his students to feel positive about their
game and progression.
Sean’s winning personality and sense of humor will lead
to Sean being a strong leader throughout his entire career.”
Tim Dietrich, PGA
“Sean’s personality and straightforward approach, paired with
his ability to communicate to various personalities and skill
levels led to a 3 – day golf school that was above and beyond
the best instruction I have received.
I value Sean’s instruction, his honesty and
professionalism. I
would not hesitate to use his services again and have the utmost
confidence that he will succeed in any professional endeavor.”
Kelby Rovig
"Sean has helped me become a great
golfer. I don't know where I would be if Sean wasn't my coach.
Every time I see him he tells me that I have great potential.
He helps me fix my problems."
Frank Frisbee
"We are extremely pleased and
impressed with Sean Lanyi's teaching methods and enthusiasm.
Pairing solid fundamental teaching skills with high energy and
plenty of positive reinforcement, he is improving our son's
understanding of this complex sport. Under his coaching
direction, our son is blossoming into a competitive junior
golfer again. Sean has helped restore his confidence, improved
his technique, and expanded his mental skills."
Rex and Lorraine Frisbee
"I am a 50 + year old recreational
golfer who golf's for fun. My game was so-so but I wanted to do
better. In March, 2009 I attended a two day golf school with
Sean Lanyi. The class consists of 3 hours of lessons, and
then 3 hours playing actual golf with Sean! Sean instructs
with positive reinforcement, caring, and creative in his
teaching style. For me, Sean describes improvement by
creating visual comparisons to help you understand the technique
better. Chipping, pitching, putting, and slices where my
goals to learn and correct. After the two day course; I
can Chip! I can pitch! I can read a green! Most
importantly, when I goof, I understand why and can correct
myself. It's been a couple of weeks now, and already I
have improved 110%!!! Sean is a friendly, gifted and
talented instructor who I highly recommend." |
