Ben Jackson Golf
"Let's Get Good!"
Testimonials
I knew there had to be a better way. I had read all the books, watched all the videos, gone to a few of the "TOP" teachers in the world, attended seminars from the game's best, worked with guys who teach the latest and greatest. None of it had me any closer to earning some credentials.
I first worked with Ben in September. He had me test my driver speed. On October 1st my top speed was 109 mph, with an average of 106. He gave me the drills, workouts, ideas and encouragement and off I went. December 4 my top driver speed was 140 mph, with an average of 135. I don't believe I have even scratched the surface of my potential.
There is no way I would be getting it done like that without his teachings. It's unfortunate, due to politics, that Golf Magazine and Golf Digest are unable to list Ben as the top instructor in the world. I have worked with 5 of the top 20 instructors and they should be embarassed that they are even on the list. Let me take that back. I'm glad Ben isn't listed, because if he was, too many would be able to get the goods and there would be that many more players I would have to beat!

Ben-
Just one day after talking to you...I had a new personal high. Tonight was XLR8R night. Here is the kicker. Using both hands I had a personal high on my last swing of the night of 118 mph. Being excited by that, I grabbed my
driver for the first time in a few weeks...my two driver swings were 110 mph and 113 mph! This is up from 100 mph just 2 1/2 short weeks ago!

Hi Ben-
Hey, this stuff works! I'm just killing the ball!..and I'm much straighter than I used to be...I played today and had a great day! On a 310 yard hole I hit my drive just off the green, pin high. Because of wet fairways, there was very little roll, so it was almost all carry. On another hole, I hit it 296 yards (both shots were accurately measured with a Sky Caddie)...no one else in my group, the group ahead of us, or the group behind us, came within 75 yards of my shots. I don't hit shots like that every time yet, but know I see that I have the potential. Not bad for a guy who is going to be 60 years old on his next birthday, and is barely 5'8" and 145 lbs. I shot a 75 today...again, not bad for a guy who started the season as a 14 handicap!
(After 4 lessons later)...My handicap index has now dropped to 9.6...my average score is now between 78 and 83. It used to be between 84 and 95. Anita won the "A" flight (low gross) of the Bellport Women's Golf Club. Not only that, she was leading by 12 strokes after the 2nd round, and coasted in for a 10 shot victory over the 3 rounds of the tournament!

I am hitting the ball a lot better. A first my score did not change that much, however, I stuck to my promise I made to you and kept hitting them the way you showed me THEN it happened...I have to tell you I am very pleased...You have made a world of difference in my game. Thanks, see you soon...

Coach-
Had some success this weekend and wanted to let you know. Played Saturday, pretty tough conditions, and the tee boxes were "maxed out". Played the very tips at Sterling National AND SHOT 75! I hit the ball more solid than ever...the guys I was playing with played the set of tees in front of me...and I was still out in front of them! Best part was I had a couple of those lies we worked on last lesson, around the green...uneven to say the least, up-down-side hill, and I still got up and down more often than not!!! I played Sunday too and was disappointed with a 79!!
Had an interesting discussion after the round with my playing partners...again, I was just killing it past these guys too...and one of them said..."The ball JUST SOUNDS different coming off your clubface..." I told them what we have been doing, but they still don't get it..Oh well, I guess I will just keep taking their money!!! Thanks again-

Sorry about the phone call...just too excited to resist! I went to the range yesterday with the thought to just warm up...(very briefly hit a 6-iron, then go at it with the driver, using the SSR/TT) The results are attached. I was getting more enthusiastic with each swing.
At first I thought my numbers were a fluke until the person behind me said they'd never seen a driver swung that fast...you've now created a full-blown monster as any small, lingering doubts were erased yesterday...back at the Speedchain this afternoon...many, many thanks for your guidance and coaching!
(one month later)...I'm not big on bragging but I meant to pass along this anecdote from Saturday: A group of guys in their 30's waved us through on a 415 yard par 4 with a slight dog-leg right. and a large bunker in the corner of the leg...the tees are back to the tips so I know it's 265 + to carry the thing...I aim for the left edge but slightly pushed the drive and blew it right over the bunker. I'm left with 105 yards to the pin...I 3/4 the thing to 25 feet beyond the pin and 2 putt for par...as I'm walking off the green these 4 young studs are in denial that someone my age can move it like they just witnessed...
In 20 years I've NEVER hit a ball over that bunker from the tips and the look on their faces was worth every penny I've spent...SWEET!

Hey Ben-
Still touring and getting some workouts in...but more importantly...I played Pebble Beach yesterday...back tees...beautiful day...shot 75 which was pretty good for me...my friends were astounded (especially when I was routinely driving it by them where they were playing from the tees ahead of mine (plus I hit 12 of 14 fairways)...greens were very small...funny thing is that I know I can do even better...especially with the putter...one of the most memorable days of my life though...Thanks so much Ben!!!

Hi Ben-
...Played Robert Trent Jones Golf Club (Michigan) which hosted a celebrity charity event. We won the A Flight scramble...I hit a 385 yard drive to win the long drive contest with an 8-iron to a par 5, 535 yard hole and another dog-leg right 500+ par 5 with a drive and a 9-iron to the green ...

I just had my best round here in Key West, a 73!! I still use the workouts you gave me when I was the Commandant of Cadets at the United States Coast Guard Academy.
