Josh helped me realize new techniques and ways of thinking about my swing that I'd never given a chance before. His swing tips are insightful and helped me better understand the golf swing.

Josh has an incredible understanding of and eye for the golf swing. What makes him such a great teacher is his ability to effectively communicate a complex movement in a simple and succinct manner. Consequently, Josh has had a very high success rate with the collegiate players with whom he has worked. More importantly, Josh is a great coach. He competed at a high level and, therefore, understands what it takes to be successful as a tournament PLAYER...separating "golf swing" from "playing golf".

Josh Zander is a great golf instructor and a great contributor to a group event. He teaches clearly and positively, focusing on the stuff that really matters -- no unnecessary swing thoughts to confuse (or paralyze) his students. He's also been a great draw for group events, sharing his considerable skills in a low-key manner with our clients and ensuring that they leave more pleased with their golf games and more motivated to play better.

I have taken lessons from many well respected golf professionals in the past, however, I have found Josh to be the best of the best. He was able to simplify and implement changes in my swing that others were not able to do. More importantly, he focuses on the game as a whole knowing the swing is just one part of the game that we all love. By doing so he has made the game so much more enjoyable for me - and my scores have reflected just that.

Josh is a great student and teacher of the game. His capabilities as an instructor are only surpassed by his qualities as a person. With Josh's help not only has my game improved but also my understanding of golf and why the ball does what it does. I'm very lucky you to have Josh as my teacher and my friend.

A huge advantage to Josh is that he is constantly interacting with some of the top teachers on the PGA Tour, and Josh flies to the top national teaching events. For me, it is comforting to know that Josh is absorbing the latest golf swing, golf training/drills, golf strength, and golf mental strategies that are yielding the best results on the PGA Tour, Web.com tour, and in top college programs.

Josh connects with his students. One of my favorite experiences is hiring him for the day or multiple days to work on my entire game. Josh takes a wholistic approach so going on a trip with Josh where he can see my game on the course allows him to truly understand how to coach me. The results have been amazing and lots of fun.
Andrew Wilson
CEO of EA Sports
Josh is whip smart, up to date about the most current state of the art information about the game, and is one of the most caring and conscientious people you could ever find.
As a teacher at Stanford myself for 25+ years, I know that individuals definitely have different ways of learning (golf or anything else), but there must be reasons that some teachers are particularly special and somehow resonate with a wide variety of students, each with different learning styles. Josh starts with a very clear framework that completely demystifies golf. He then goes to the next level and helps you understand where YOU fit into that framework, and works with you to devise a plan to attack your weaknesses, and starts with the one or two things to work on that will be the highest yield for you in terms of results/improvement based on effort you put in. Finally, he works with you to help you FEEL the things you are working on so that you can own them yourself.
