Student Reviews

Dick Mast is a short game guru. I worked with Dick for two days on my short game in preparation for a series of tournaments I was competiing in . It became the strongest part of my game. I always trusted Dick as an instructor , as have many professional and amateur golfers have over the years. He is outstanding !! In addition you will never get to know a more genuine human being in your life. He has the secrets to the "golf fountain of youth". You will be hard pressed to find another instructor .who competes in tournaments, as he does today, that routinely shoots and betters his age. I encourage all golfers that want to compete'or become the best player they can to spend a few days with Dick at his academy @ Poplar Grove. . Your life will become better in all aspects of life not just golf. I guarantee the results.. I am certain there are scores of other golfers that know Dick Mast that would echo what I am saying.

This is the guy you must go and see today as you would Ben Hogan if you still had the opportunity.

Best wishes for better golf,

Dick had me submit a video of my swing so he could take a look at it. He had me make just a couple of adjustments, and I was able to understand the why and the how of what he was telling me. Those adjustments have helped me be more consistent with my shots, and I have gotten a bit more distance, especially with my driver. He is a very good listener, and he gives you what you need to help you, and not too much so that it becomes confusing. Plus, he makes it fun....Very good teacher.

I’ve taken lessons from 4 other pros with little or no results. Then there is Dick Mast. He actually knows how to analyze your swing and make adjustments Unique to your style that work. Most pros have a standard way to teach. A one size fits all. Dick has been teaching long enough to know that is ineffective. Dick cares about your success. He will give help when he observes something outside the lessons when he sees you on the course or practice range. He actually thinks about your game like he is your coach rather than just during a lesson. My game has improved a lot thanks to Dick Mast.

Work with Dick is a true joy for many reasons. First, he cares about you and your game. If you see him around the course he's always got time for you to talk about how things are going. Second, his experience. Dick knows all the small things that can take your game all the way to scratch. Third, he is up on all the latest technology and has everything you need to help. Fourth, he adapts his teaching to the student. Everyone is different and Dick finds the best way for the individual. Fifth, he's is genuinely a nice person with a wealth of experience and knowledge.

Dick Mast gave me several tips during a couples golf match. tips that I still remember and use the have decreased my handicap by 3 or 4 strokes.

Taking lessons with Dick Mast is fun and also very informative, I've learned so much and improved on so many areas in my golf game , areas as  simple as alignment which play a crucial key in the swing and also different areas like impact or swing plane. Mr Mast has helped me so much and I'd  recommend him to anyone wanting to learn more about the game and  how to build a proper swing, he will change the way you play golf and you'll definitely see the  improvements!  

Have you ever had a club to just desert you? Nothing is more frustrating than to have a club in your hand and have zero confidence in it. This is what happened to me. As a seven handicapper I really felt pretty good about my game, and then overnight my wedges left me. My handicap just exploded without my short game. Then I was playing with Dick and with a simple adjustment to my swing I regained confidence in my wedges. His eye for the problems in a swing and knowledge for how to correct it is nothing short of amazing.  

Mr. Mast changed my swing last year with one simple change, and I’ve played the best golf of my life ever since. I’ve always appreciated his ability to keep the instruction simple and easy to understand, giving me the best opportunity to learn and improve rapidly.
