It has been great to see Jon develop from a solid player into an outstanding teacher. Jon has an excellent understanding of golf’s fundamentals. He applies those basics to fit each student’s individual needs in a way that is tailored to give them the best opportunity to improve their game. I know you will enjoy your opportunity to have Jon develop your game.”
Stan Utley – PGA Tour Winner
Jon’s knowledge of the golf swing can help someone’s swing improve the way that is more natural to them. To me this characteristic is hard to find in the teaching profession, it seems that most teachers have “their way” to swing a club… regardless of what you currently do. His instruction had a direct impact on enabling me to qualify for my first USGA Senior Open in 2011!”
Bill Barnes – USGA Senior Open Qualifier
I have been working with Jon for well over 5 years and have played the best golf of my professional career during that time. Jon has a great understanding of the game and the golf swing. He has an even better understanding of how to teach his methods to each student in a simple manner. His short game knowledge is second to none. Whether it’s putting, chipping, bunker play, or just simply improving from 100 yards in, I promise you Jon will help you to improve in each phase. If you want to become a better overall player and learn great course management skills I highly recommend going to work with Jon!!”
Jon McDonald, West Florida Tour Player of the Year
I have been playing golf for over 35 years. I have had a number of lessons over my playing days from various pros including several well known instructors. Jon Butler’s instruction has made the greatest impact in my game of any instructor I have ever had. Several years ago Jon made one change in my swing and within a month I shot a career 9 hole round of 32 at my country club back East. I use to be a 25 handicap and now am an 18. I contribute much of that improvement to one man…Jon Butler.”
Donn “Swami” Wagner
I first met Jon 8 years ago as a high handicapper when I decided to start taking the game seriously. Jon’s ability to work with your own natural golf swing and develop a better all-around game is why I see Jon on a consistent basis. It’s now possible for me to be competitive in local and state amateur events.”
Mel Rector – Vice President, National Healthcare Corp.
Jon communicates well and doesn’t make the lesson overly complicated as some instructors do. I always understand what it is that he wants me to do. He has a genuine interest in his students and improving their golf games. ” He has been a huge part of my success and my ability to play Division I golf.”
Eric Johannsen, age 18, plus 1 handicap
Jon keeps each lesson focused on 1 or 2 learning concepts, which is readily manageable by students. He keeps the lesson positive. His ability to effectively communicate with his students distinguishes him from so many other teachers.”
