Japanese LPGA Tour Player with 16 career wins and earning's of $6,000,000.00 +

My initial contact with George was very positive. I like his attention to detail in the golf swing and particularly, the position of the club at the top and how it is delivered to impact. His instruction is straightforward and to the point. The technology George use's in his instruction is very good. You do not see many teaching pro's with the technology of a TrackMan and the Sam PuttLab. I look forward to working with George in the future and his guidance in keeping me at the top of my game.

European/Asian PGA Tour Player

Coach Pinnell and I have known each other for a long time. I have progressed from a 6 handicapper to become one of the top amateur players in the world. Coach Pinnell stresses the importance of the fundamentals of the golf swing and the swing plane. He has helped me improve my putting, pitching and my long game. He also makes me use my imagination on the course to try to "work" the ball. The results speak for George’s coaching.

I have been coached by George for about 6 years. Through these four years, George has helped me progress from being unranked to become one of the top junior golfer’s in the nation, winning the 2007 USGA Girl’s Junior Championship. Not only did he teach about the swing, but he also taught me about the integrity and sportsmanship one must have. He also taught me to gain confidence which helped me greatly. Through the past couple of months, I have worked with George on one his latest high tech teaching aids called the TrackMan. Since TrackMan showed me the exact numbers to every aspect of my swing I was able to make good swings every time. George and I are very excited for my next season and my future career. I couldn’t have done everything I have accomplished so far if it hadn’t been for George.

The George Pinnell Golf Academy is a great place to learn the game of golf. George has state of the art training equipment and has a great way of teaching. Over the last couple of years George has helped me improve my game drastically. He has spent time with me on the range and the course, making sure every piece of my game is in tune. George introduced me to the SCPGA Junior Golf Tour and now I love tournament golf. I now play on the elite AJGA Tour, and my current national Golfweek ranking is 68 and will go lower this summer. I am looking at golf and academic programs at colleges where I will play Division 1 golf. My coach and I are very excited for my career. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the teaching talents of George Pinnell.

The George Pinnell Golf Academy is a great place for any type of golfer that wants to learn more. George has the best equipment around that helps your game phenomenally. It shows every single detail from the littlest things like taking the club too much inside or things like your club face at impact and your attack angle. Not only does George give lessons about the golf swing, but life lessons that will help you in the future as well. George has a way of teaching that makes you feel comfortable and he always goes at your own pace. Being his student for 6 years now, he is more than a Coach to me. I can honestly say he can read me like a book just by how I look or talk. After just a few lessons, you could feel the connection and bond you instantly get and that is why he'll always be my Coach.

George Pinnell is the most influential person in my life. Because of him I am a better golfer and person. He is the reason why I am still playing golf today. I have learned the "insides" of what top tour pros are doing with their swings. He has taught me how to analyze my game so I know what to work on. George also stresses that with hard work and patience great results will happen. I can't picture myself with a different instructor or mentor.

I have worked with George for almost a decade and have known him even longer. George is the type of instructor who really understands not only the golf swing and how to cure any problems, but really knows what it takes to become a great player. That includes learning how to score, the mental game, physical fitness, practice, pure dedication and loving the process of becoming a better player. Many instructors can teach the swing but few teach how to play like George. Having said that, he has every tool and training aid to help any player of any skill develop a technically sound swing. But to me, the ability to take what George teaches during a lesson to the course is where he is really good. He understands the importance of the mental game and course management. He has been an instrumental part of my success in golf. He has helped me compete at every level I have ever played, from junior golf to college golf to amateur golf and now at the professional level. I couldn't have done it without George's help. If he can help me, he can help anybody.

I have been taking lessons with George for about 8 years. His teachings have helped me learn about golf and also about life. With his great equipment I can see my problems in my swing clearly and learn how to fix them quickly. George has helped me become a player that I never expected to be. I can now go to a tournament with confidence that I can play well due to my swing and understanding of how to deal with every situation I encounter on the course. George has helped me in my mental game tremendously and I am thankful for having him as my coach. Going to George was a decision I will never regret.

For as little as I get to see coach Pinnell throughout the year, he has great impact on my game. He is able to make simple, yet effective changes with my swing, which has helped to make my game much more consistent. Most importantly, he has improved my mental game and course management. My success these past two years has definitely been a team effort.

University of California, Riverside

I have been working with Coach Pinnell for 8 year's and have learned many aspects of the game. Coach has taught me the importance of swing plane and face angle in relation to ball flight. This has given me the knowledge and tools to help me perform well to secure a position on the University of California, Riverside golf team. I will be a freshman in the fall of 2011. Coach Pinnell uses unparalleled technology in TrackMan, the Sam PuttLab and V1 high speed video. This technology is second to none and has helped to be more consistent with my golf swing and putting. Coach Pinnell has worked extensively with me on course management and the mental skill's that are necessary to play golf at a higher level. Coach has also spent considerable time with me on the importance of sportsmanship and accountability in golf and life. I have enjoyed my lesson time over the year's and have developed a strong relationship with Coach Pinnell.
