  I can't imagine a more enjoyable and productive learning experience. Doug Weaver is an amazing PGA instructor who loves what he does. I had a total of 12 hours of lessons over three days combined with 54 holes of golf on their 3 amazing courses. My love for the game has grown and I gained knowledge, understanding, and skills to improve my handicap. A great investment!! I can't wait to get back on the course to keep applying what I've learned from Doug!

  Doug Weaver is world class. I came in having no idea how to swing a club. After hitting a few balls, he approached me and said, “Boy do I have you figured out already!” And he did. He gets to know you in order to use perfect analogies so that you can understand what he’s saying and what he wants you to do. He doesn’t just coach you, he gets to know you as a person. Not all coaches are like Doug. I got lucky. Doug Weaver and the rest of the staff at Arthur Hills are second to none.

  I’ve been taking Golf lessons with Doug Weaver for sometime . I have learned to relax and enjoy my golf game with his instructions and simple approach to the game. He is a pleasure to be around and has a pleasant no non-sense approach to his lessons . He uses great analogies and examples to help me remember and develop the right feels for my game. Thank you Doug for all your help. Also many thanks to the Palmetto Golf staff for all that they do. Look forward to many years of more great golf with you . Ronnie L Cochran

  I greatly benefited from my lesson with Doug. With a simple swing change that Doug suggested, I have added 7-10 yards with my driver and fairway woods. My putting has also improved, and is more consistent.
