Coach Kiger has been a joy to work with over the years. He’s a rare gem in the business and really knows his stuff. I can’t thank him enough for the work he’s doing with my daughter.

Andrew is excellent at what he does. His knowledge of the golf swing, and how to improve one’s swing is fantastic. He can explain in simple terms what improvements are needed and what drills would be best. I was also impressed with his suggestions to address the mental part of my game as well. I would strongly recommend Andrew without hesitation.

Andrew listens and really tries to understand what issues you may be having with your golf swing. His analysis process through personal observation, conversation, Trackman and video are very effective. He identified the flaws in my swing and provided insights and drills to begin immediately correcting the issue.

I’ve had two instructors elsewhere in the past and while both were beneficial, neither led to the level improvement and (more importantly to me) the consistency my game has seen since starting up with Andrew Kiger. I’ve really enjoyed the rapport and approach that Drew brings to teaching. I’ve had a friend start going for instruction as well and he also stated it’s the best experience he’s had. If you’re looking to improve your game and enjoyment level in playing, don’t think twice, this is the place to go.

Great instructor for beginners. Very patient and explains techniques that are easy to understand. I have improved so much on my short game so far and Drew really makes golfing fun for me now. Highly recommended!

Andrew is an exceptional coach. He obviously understands one of the key principles of coaching, “People don’t care how much you know until they first realize how much you care”. Can’t wait for my next session!

Drew was quick to analyze my swing and develop approaches to correct the weaknesses. The drills he gave me were easy to understand and produced the desired results. He is also very conscious of my physical limitations and able to work around them to still produce a good golf swing.

Drew is an excellent teacher of the game. In two lessons, he was able to make vast improvement. His expertise is evident quickly and you see results immediately. Drew also integrates tech into his lessons, which provide instant video reference for adjustments to be made. He is very personable and relatable. I would highly recommend Drew, no matter your golfing skillset.

Drew is a great coach and very thorough in his instruction. I’ve worked with several coaches/ instructors over the years and Drew is one of the few who takes a holistic approach to the swing. He does not deploy a “one size fits all” model and caters to the game of the individual. Drew also keeps a nice balance of watching with his own eyes as well as using data & video to formulate fixes. Lastly, there is something to be said for an instructor that caters to the mental side of the game. Working with Drew you can tell he cares about making someone better to help keep you engaged, and not just going through the motions!

My lesson with Drew was terrific. Having never had a lesson in 30 years golfing I was a bit afraid I would leave a lesson lost with 50 new thoughts on my swing and adjustments that need made. Within 2 swings he was able to diagnose some issues at the root of my swing inconsistency and showed me them on video. He made it simple and focused on 2-3 fine points. Drew gave me ways to correct these areas and gave explanations as to why the changes would help/ how they would improve my swing. I really appreciated the why as it solidified my understanding and helped me create a mental image of how my swing should be. Additionally, he gave me some great drills to work on to help make the adjustments permanent. Definitely will continue to work with Drew.

Great lesson. Andrew is a good teacher and explained things in a way that registered with me. The system of camera that he used taught me a lot about my form. It was very useful in helping me correct my posture and swing. At this point, I’m addicted to golf and will be returning for more of Andrew’s guidance.

Peter Kruszewski

Drew is awesome to work with. He has really helped me maximize my outcome within the context of my ability. In a few lessons we were able to cover a lot of ground because he worked with my strengths and didn’t try to shape me into an “ideal model”. He helped me find what is perfect for me, even if it is not the perfect model.

I can’t stress enough about how stellar my experience has always been with Coach Kiger. His communication skills are phenomenal, he truly knows how to teach, and I always come away from my lessons with so much appreciation for the knowledge he shared with me. There is no time wasted in a lesson but I’m never drowning in information either. Additionally his attitude is always positive and he is determined to make you a better player. I would tell anyone and everyone I know regardless of skill set that Coach Kiger is definitely the way to go. My only regret is not getting with him sooner!

Alex Lonergan

Andrew has helped me with learning the game as to full swing mechanics, short game and course management. We now have two grandchildren, ages 9 & 6 taking lessons from him. We drive an hour plus each week for his coaching as he is unique as to his teaching skills and mentoring. Although we live in Pinehurst, where there is no shortage of golf professionals, we travel to work with Andrew because of his demeanor and skill set! This guy is unique!

Gregory Michalek

Amazing teacher in all aspects. Very knowledgeable of the golf swing with great in-depth analysis. Helps develop YOUR swing, he does not try to make you a robot that only swings one way. Gives great drills to work on outside of lesson time. Uses trackman and records everything which is great for looking back at previous lessons. Highly Recommend!

Brian Burgess

Andrew Kiger is an absolutely amazing golf coach. He has a knack for explaining things in a way I can understand innately. I’ve talked to a number of other people he has given lessons to and have found he explains things differently to them, but in each case in a way they can understand. That is a rare talent. Besides the comprehension I’ve had, he has done wonders for my golf swing and the lessons I’ve had with him have been worth every penny and more! He is, for sure a 5-star coach and I appreciate all he does.

John Hower

Had an extra day to kill in Charlotte and decided to take a lesson with Drew. He spotted a major flaw in my swing in about 2 minutes, and we spent the next hour fixing it and getting me comfortable with the new mechanics. Can’t say enough about how professional, patient, and enthusiastic Drew was as an instructor. He obviously loves the game of golf, and more importantly, he loves to teach people how to play better. He explains things in language the average layperson can understand and doesn’t move on until he’s certain that you have a grasp of the concepts he’s teaching.

But the proof is out on the course, right? Well, my score today on The Ballantyne course was 14 strokes lower than it was yesterday, and I’m chalking it up to what I learned with Drew.My only regret is that I don’t have more days in town so I can do a few more sessions. Can’t recommend the school and Drew enough for anyone who wants to improve their game.

“Top notch golf instruction!”

Drew Kiger is a first class instructor and I highly recommend him.

He not only helps improve your golf game but he also helps you gain a TON of confidence when you leave. The facility is top-rated with professional instructors. I wouldn’t look anywhere else! Their 4-day package will have you shooting lower scores immediately! Thanks again Drew, I honestly have never flushed a 4-iron like that before!!

I am a relatively new golfer, who needed help to improve my game – to be more consistent and lower my handicap. For 15 hours over three days, I worked in a small group with one instructor. While it was in a group, the instruction was customized to what I needed. Mostly hands-on activities, included swing analysis, club fitting/analysis, full swing practice on a range, plus the focal areas of putting, chipping, pitching, different lies and game management. I learned a lot in a short period of time and saw positive changes. This was due largely to the keen eye of the professional instructor, Drew Kiger, whose instruction connected with me and what I needed. All aspects of the school were first-rate – from the specialized facility and equipment to the ongoing attention to detail (water for hydration, cool towels to combat the high heat to staff constantly refreshing the grounds). This was a great experience that I am eager to put into place on my home course

Andrew Kiger is an awesome instructor, I was a “self taught” golfer out having a good time with buddies, listening to whoever had a set of clubs and shooting over 110 every single round, 2 years ago I finally broke 100 shooting a 99 and was ecstatic.

Obviously, I was now addicted. So I decided to take lessons and found Andrew. Within 2 weeks I broke 90 and shot and 89 at Rock Barn Country Club in Hickory, NC, the site of a Senior PGA event. I broke 90 on a pro course!!!! Andrew is my golf guru and awesome at what he does.

This is by far the best thing that I have ever done for my game.
The entire school is run extremely well with some of the most incredible instructors. They have the best practice facility, staff, and professional environment and it’s really made such an incredible difference in my game and my enjoyment of golf.

Drew Kiger is amazing and has made an incredible positive influence in my game in the last year and a half that I’ve been working with him. He’s a phenomenal instructor and I can’t say l’ve ever learned as much with anyone before. Way to go Drew and thanks so much for all you’ve done for me.

Matthew has transformed my game in just two lessons. He fixed my putting setup to where I now hit the ball out of the middle of the putter in just 30 minutes. My last lesson with Matthew he changed my full swing path from four degrees left to neutral in one lesson! He’s really intentional in his teaching and makes sure you understand what he is saying before moving on.

Nicholas LaCerda

Matthew is extremely knowledgeable and has a wealth of knowledge and an impressive understanding of the short game. I was very impressed with his teaching style and would highly recommend his services. I wish him the best in his future endeavors and am sure he’ll continue to help others grow their game.

Patrick Davey

As a former college golfer who has played the game of golf my entire life and now has young kids learning the game, I have been so happy to find Andrew Kiger Golf. Our family lives in Cary and our children participate in Operation36 at Macgregor Downs and not only as our instructor, Matthew Palmer made it fun, he is an excellent technical golf teacher. On occasion, Andrew also participates in our practices and lessons and when that occurs we have both instructors available, which is really great! Macgregor Downs is very convenient to Raleigh, Cary & Apex. 20 minute drive from Brier Creek, Chapel Hill, Durham area. If your child has interest in golf or if you have always wanted to learn the game of golf yourself, consider giving these guys a call.

I initially contacted Matthew Palmer because I was frustrated with chipping. We met on the short game range and Matthew gave me a plan and specific things to work on and also sent me a video from our session. The next round I played I had definitely improved my chipping and my confidence which is huge! Matthew is excellent at swing analysis and knows the biomechanics needed to execute a variety of shots. He will address your concerns and bring you a plan for improvement and drills that really work! Matthew is a great guy and really cares about you and your game.

Matthew has been a phenomenal coach to work with. He is motivated, knowledgeable, and can communicate the material in various ways very well. Working with Matthew has had a direct impact on getting better scores on the course and nothing feels better than standing over a ball with confidence knowing I can hit it right. From improving my accuracy and distance with my swing to becoming precise around the greens, I can associate this from my lessons with Matthew.

Our son who is 9 has been working with coach Matthew now for a little over a month. This was his first experience with the game of golf and his enthusiasm and love for the game is through the roof. He loves going to practice and coach Matthew has been so patient and encouraging to him. In fact just this week, our son said he wished practice were three hours every day! So excited to see our son’s love of the game and a lot of that has to do with his coach.

Matthew was able to quickly zone in my problem areas. His instruction and attention to detail was great.

Got there very frustrated with my game. Left feeling like I was fixable. Looking forward to a follow lesson and interested in the Friday clinic.
