Ian provides first class instruction in a very relaxed environment which invites accelerated results. He managed to knock 10+ strokes off of my game in couple of months. The combination of his ability to recognize and target areas for improvement and the opportunity to use high speed video review allows for very rapid improvement. Thanks for all help Ian.

I have known Ian for a number of years now. I have experienced his teaching skills, his club fitting skills and his personal skills. He has been able, when flaws have worked their way into my swing, to get me back on track in a very short timeframe (usually one session). Almost all of the clubs in my bag were custom fitted by Ian and I’m playing the best golf of my life (50 year career in golf and counting). Havill Golf has the best indoor practice facility I’ve seen and it’s available at a very reasonable price. Probably best of all is the personal relationship I’ve built with Ian, Sara and the staff at the shop. I always feel welcome when I go in, which makes me want to keep coming back.

"Thanks to Ian's great knowledge of clubs and his swing analysis technology, selecting a new set of clubs was a straightforward and enjoyable experience. He is respectful of budget and truly has the golfer's best interest in mind. We continue to be pleased with our purchases.
Ian is a gentle, thoughtful instructor who never overloads his students with information. He is a great supporter of junior golf and will make a fantastic high-school coach!"

"I have known Ian for over 3 years and over those 3 years I have gone from being someone who was extremely frustrated with the game of golf to someone who actually now really enjoys playing golf and looks forward to spending a day at the golf course. Ian has been very patient in working with me over the years to evaluate every aspect of my swing and has helped me develop a very workable swing. Ian has also helped by custom fitting me with clubs to enhance my level of play. Havill Golf has an exceptional practice facility with multiple rooms and top of the line equipment to evaluate every aspect of a persons game. I have also used the facility to have my father (avid golfer) play St. Andrews at Christmas time. It was a treat for him! I have always felt welcome by Ian and his staff and have enjoyed the times we have golfed with he and his wife Sara. I enjoy the sessions with Ian and will continue to use Ian as I progress through my golf experience. Kim Grusenmeyer, Kitsap Golf & Country Club."

"After a 10 year lay off I decided to take up golf again. I was going to the range and trying to relearn the game by myself with predictably poor results. I knew I needed help and walked into Havill Golf one weekend. I was immediately impressed with the professional, comfortable feel of the place. I had never tried simulators for sports training and after a demonstration by Ian I was convinced I would benefit from both the technology and Ian's expertise as an instructor and coach. If you have never tried these new systems with video and all the sensors you are in for a really amazing experience. I signed up for both lessons and the annual practice program (they teach you how to use the simulators so your practice sessions are super productive). Ian is an excellent instructor with an obvious passion for the game. He worked with me to develop a real plan for my both my lessons and practice. I eventually purchased new clubs from them too. Ian's low pressure, consultative approach was refreshingly honest and the prices were very competitive. And if that's not enough, ask about all the local community giving and support they do! Highly recommended."

“I bought my son his first set of clubs at Havill golf, a great set for a beginning player, and I took him there for his first golf lessons. Ian was great with him, and in just a lesson or two, had him looking like someone who knew how to play golf. The indoor facility is very high tech, very impressive, and my son is now hooked on golf!”
-- Brent Wickline

"Ian I want to thank you for the incredible job of helping me custom fit a set of Ping clubs tailored for my swing. Your knowledge about the golf swing as a PGA professional and your state of the art technology had me get the perfect set of clubs and my game has improved!
-- Jack and Bonnie

I worked with Ian as my swing coach for about 4 years when I lived on Bainbridge Island. In that time I incorporated suggested changes over time and definitely saw an improvement in my game. Ian was always quick to spot and point out an area for improvement (hand position, swing speed, posture) but never gave me more than I could handle. Over time I definitely noticed an increase in the number of real golf shots per round and also an increase in the number of chances of par per round. I will certainly miss Ian’s tutelage as I now reside in Pittsburgh, PA but would definitely go out of my way for a tune-up if I get back to BI. It doesn’t hurt that Ian is a great guy, fun to be around as well as an excellent golfer!
