The price is totally worth it, Coach does not waste your time, he tells you what you need to hear, and made the lesson competitive and interesting. He also has the skills to back up the talk. I have to put the practice in now but he fixed my slice in 30 seconds.

I was fortunate enough to get a session with coach Franz and son this week and walked away with a great experience. I found them knowledgeable, thorough, passionate, and they made the complex easy to understand. In one session I was able to understand how getting my kinematic sequence right will translate into more power and efficiency in my golf swing. I will definitely be going back.

Coach Franz and Coach Darien have been amazing. It’s been a pleasure to see our daughter develop a love of the game under their professional guidance. They focus on creating an inspiring, stimulating and safe environment with integrity and respect; and while largely unbeknownst to our daughter, the lessons are carried out with scrupulous attention to technical detail, improving her game while she’s having fun. We look forward to continuing with Coach Franz and Coach Darien on our daughter’s golfing journey!

Coach Franz is the man! Him and his son has been tremendously helpful in developing my game. I can honestly say that his lessons sets the bar high as to what I expect in a golf lesson in the future. He takes the time to analyze my swing and makes tailored recommendations and drill implementation to get more consistent. I started golf as a hobby but with his coaching, I am starting to take my development more seriously and want to see how far I can take my game with his help. 10/10 would recommend anyone looking to take their game to the next level. On a side note, he is also incredible with junior golfers. If I have children, he is the one I would take lessons from for them!

I've been working with Franz for the past few months, and I can confidently say that he is an excellent golf coach. His knowledge and expertise of the game are unparalleled, and he has helped me improve my swing, accuracy, and overall technique significantly.

What sets him apart is his ability to communicate complex golf concepts in a way that is easy to understand and apply on the course. He is patient and attentive and always takes the time to answer my questions and provide constructive feedback.

I highly recommend Franz to anyone looking to take their golf game to the next level. He is an excellent teacher and an all-around great guy to work with.

My journey with Coach Franz at Golf and Performance started recently, as I suffer from inconsistency with my irons and wanted to improve on this part of my game. He asked me what my goals were and what are my common misses, shot shape, brand, model, and shaft in my irons were. Two videos were submitted and his analysis was detailed but easy to understand. A couple of drills have been recommended by Coach Franz with video demonstrations. I anticipate a solid relationship and getting my scores consistently below 80.

My daughter played a good game in high school, but over the last decade of university and getting into the work-life, had let her game drift. Her practice sessions early this year were frustrating for her. We met coach Franz at one of his teaching sites in early June and had a good chat. After checking him out she decided to put some money into a lesson package with him. After 3 lessons she is showing signs of recovering and hopefully improving on her previous ability and her confidence has improved each time she has practiced or played the last couple of weeks. Coach Franz is a great guy and has a gift for teaching. We couldn't recommend him more highly! Thanks, Franz!

IMO, the most important part of any coaching plan that you get with a coach is to do your homework. He does not wave a magical wand and turn you into Tiger or Jack but he gives you the correct platform to allow you to practice efficiently and effectively. Don't be a "range rat" and hit 400 balls a day but practice in a way that best helps you develop your game with the time you have. He is a great coach but an even better person. I have also had a chance to meet his son Darien who is a very talented junior golfer with a very bright future ahead. He is a bright kid who has the right attitude and it shows. If you want to commit yourself to become a better player then get a lesson plan with Coach Franz. He will do his part but keep in mind you have to pull your weight too.

Coach Franz and Darien are amazing. If you want to learn about the game of golf in an in depth way, this is the place to be. They bring you in and show you a different perspective of the game. They focus on the mental aspect of golf as well as a distinct breakdown of the golf swing and how to achieve your individual goals. I would recommend anyone who’s considering lessons to take the leap with Golf and Performance.

Throughout the last 2 years with team GP, I was able to develop a lot in my golf game especially my mental game. As a competitive golfer, it is very important to be confident in yourself and to develop your mental side of the game so when you are in trouble, you don’t panic. Coach Franz has helped me develop this mental side enabling me to be a better golfer and finish in better places in tournaments. I am thankful to have Coach Franz as he believes in me and gives me the confidence I need. I highly recommend Coach Franz.

I’ve just started to take some lessons from Coach Franz, though we had met several years ago through a simulator league he was running. I’ve had a number of coaches over the years, and I was looking for someone who could help me with my game that takes a more systematic, rigorous approach than is typical in the golf instruction industry. I am very happy with my lessons so far: careful, customized assessment and training, complete with a written follow-up, statistics from the launch monitor, and video of me making progress. Given I’m a “numbers guy”, I appreciate the attention to the data gathered and his expertise in its interpretation. Coach Franz is a strong communicator, highly competent, friendly and passionate about his work…perfect combination of traits for a great golf coach!

Looking forward to more sessions to get my game back in shape!

Coach Franz made an adjustment to my swing in 2019 that saw me picking up 10 to 15 yards with my driver. Yesterday he tweaked 3 things and my regular clubhead speed of 98 mph went to 101 mph, then 104 mph, and then repeatedly at 108 mph! The goal is 115 mph. I have regained a lot of confidence and made really great strides with my driving.

I bought a few golf lessons to try out since I had no prior experience and wanted to learn. I was a little nervous, but Franz was a great teacher; very approachable, knowledgeable, and patient with me. I learned so much in my short time and felt more confident in each lesson. I recommend it to anyone who's interested in learning golf or wants to brush up on their skills. I surely will be back for more lessons soon! Thanks, Franz!

"I wanted to tell you that I played a round last week and I slowed my back-swing down and, wow, has it made a difference! Slowing things down made so much sense and it was the 1st thing you said to me. I'm hitting as long and as straight as I ever have. Just missed breaking 80 something, and I haven't done that for over 20 years. Thank you!

I had a group of lessons the past summer with coach Franz and I would highly recommend him as a teacher. Instead of trying to overhaul my swing, he made a few critical changes to bring me into a better impact position. This has improved my ball-striking tremendously. I still have a long way to go. I regret that I did not do this earlier. Thanks coach Franz.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Franz. I started golfing this season and decided to seek out some professional coaching before I develop too many bad habits. In a surprisingly short amount of time, Franz was able to point out what I was doing right along with which areas I could improve. He explained the correct mechanics of the swing without it feeling overwhelming. He left me with some simple drills and concepts which I can work on in between lessons. He is a fun guy to talk to and creates a comfortable environment for you to learn and improve your game. Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of meeting Coach Franz while I was a member at the Metro Golf Dome last year. I am relatively new to golf and was looking to get some coaching. I approached Coach after I saw him giving some lessons to some of his students. He was very thorough with his approach and was honest with his students. He does not have a "1 size fits all approach" to coaching but rather assesses your abilities and helps you build the right coaching plan to help your game. He has helped my game tremendously from swing mechanics but especially being able to help me correctly play a golf course and how to keep it in check between the ears.

Franz will provide you with a complete lesson, every lesson. This man doesn't know shortcuts, he will work specifically with you to address your personal needs and give you tips and drills to help you correct your swing. I worked with Franz this past golf season and the improvement I made was quite dramatic. I've taken lessons in the past from swing coaches that keep trying to drill the same concept that works for them. Franz does not use a one size fits all style of coaching and uses unique methods to make you the best golfer you can be. He will not only work on your yardage but as well he will work on your accuracy in driving, chipping, and putting. Franz will also give you golf strategies instead of just swing strategies. Go to Franz, he is well worth the investment!
