Testimonials

“My grandson has been a student of Donna's for the past two years. Her teaching techniques have helped Daniel tremendously. She has been able to help him get his golf swing under control and to lower his handicap. Most importantly, she has helped his mental game as he has matured through his junior and senior years of high school. Because of her help he has recently been awarded a golf scholarship to college."

"Donna Helms is an outstanding teaching professional.  I have known Donna for several years and I think she is excellent. She has thoroughly developed her gift of keen observation and she is totally dedicated to her students. Her analysis of the golf swing is quick and her corrections are very effective. Donna is positive and encouraging person with a sense of humor(which is needed if you plan to play this game).  At our club we had a saying as we were playing, WWDD?  Translation: What Would Donna Do?"

"Donna believes that every individual has their own swing.  She works with you, and your limitations, and doesn't try to "force-fit" you into a predetermined swing.  She teaches fundamentals. Due to Donna's lessons, I have improved my swing and ball striking ability.  I highly recommend Donna Helms School of Golf as the place to go for game improvement and fun."

"I have been trying to play golf off and on for many years and periodically took lessons from instructors in various part of the country.  Nothing ever really stuck until I met Donna.  After just two lessons I am on my way to real progress. Her approach is straight forward locking in on key points with confusing you. I highly recommend Donna as a golf instructor."

"A true way to improve your game of golf - a proven testimony of approximately 2 dozen players I know of in the Spartanburg area(local country club) who have enjoyed accomplishments from her talent of teaching the game of golf. Since being influenced by her teaching talent, I am a steady one digit HDP player.  I highly recommend Donna to anyone who is interested in improving their golf game."

Donna's Tip #320

The chicken or the egg? Which comes first, the golf swing or the fitted club? Marketing, technology, composition, eye appeal, etc create the desire for new clubs. However, unless the club fits the golfer and the golfers swing, it doesnt matter how many "wins on tour" a particular company (club) may have. If the golfer cannot swing the desired club to strike the ball in the "sweet spot", the maximum potential of the golfer is never reached. "Be fitted for a set of clubs after you develop a swing that fits your body style" and you will be more proficient in the game.
