WHAT IS SAID ABOUT US
STUDENT & PARENT TESTIMONIALS
I just had a 45-minute session with Mr. Tarun Sardesai. It cleared up a lot of misconceptions for me. I had always been made to believe that golf strength comes entirely from the body and that the club should be moved mainly using the body. Today, I learned that the movement actually involves a lot of the hands and wrists, and the body simply follows. The body’s purpose is to provide stability and strength, but the clubhead speed primarily comes from the movement of the hands. This was a big shift in both my understanding and feel, because I could clearly sense that I didn't have to put in as much effort to get the clubhead moving faster compared to what I'm usually used to.
Brilliant session. I'm game for another one anytime. Thanks.
Mr. Ravi Tulsiyan
Hi, this is Harshvardhan Agarwal, a permanent member of RCGC. Today I was lucky to have Mr. Tarun Desai with us, training the lead coaches, and my coach, Ghulam Ali Mollah, taught me a few lessons at the chipping yard. It made a huge difference to my chipping—I would usually shank or make thin shots, but the bounce technique he taught me, learned from Mr. Desai, was a hell of a change. I did roughly 100 chip shots, and every one had backspin or good loft and rolled near the hole. Very happy with what Mr. Desai did and looking forward to more sessions.
Mr. Harshvardhan Agarwal
It was a good experience. I got to see and analyze my swing and see more data in the swing. And I feel there was some immediate improvement. I changed a few concepts of my swing, and I feel like I can hit the ball better now, and that it's putting less stress on my back. Yeah.
Varish Mohta
I think it's a good session and a good initiative by RCGC to have a more structured camp here. So, I think Varish’s back was a bit of an issue, so maybe with a few tweaks in the swing, this will really help ease out the pressure on his back and help him hit the ball longer.
