"Pat was excellent as an instructor. Using Pat's advice on my tee shots and also pitching and putting, I shot an 88 – which is EXCELLENT for me!" — Tony Purrone, Plainview, NY "A dynamic approach to teaching golf. Pat improved my game more in 3 days at the Ritson-Sole School than my local pros did in 10 years". — Michael Epstein, Swampscott, MA "I've added 10-15 yards on my irons and my longest drive is over 300 yards! The more I play and "groove in" the new swing, the longer I get. My confidence has led me to set a goal of breaking 80 this year. Thanks for such a wonderful program!" — Dr. Maurice Robinson, Talbott, TN
