Testimonials
Morgan Lewis
Mike has shown nothing but support and patience the last six years we have been working together. He has given me great opportunities to strengthen my game by taking his students to Florida in the winter. Without Mike, I would not be the golfer I am today.

We are so pleased to see how much progress Morgan has made since taking lessons from Mike. She responds well to his coaching style and the end result is a love for the game. We also take great pride in watching her play and can't thank Mike enough for the time and effort he has put toward making Morgan a better player and an advocate for the sport. We highly recommend Mike as a teaching professional. - Heidi Lewis

Hadley Moritz
Considering where my swing started, I didn’t think I’d ever get to the point of where I am now in golf. In just three years, I went from shooting triple digits to having a 2.5 handicap. My first high school 18 hole tournament I shot a 105. My last round in that same season was an 81- in a span of two months I was able to drop 24 strokes. Mike is the best coach I have ever had and I’ve never seen someone so dedicated to their students. About two years ago, I moved three hours away, but there was no way I would ever find another golf coach as great as him. The trips back and forth are well worth keeping Mike in my golf career. I continue to grow, not only as a golfer, but as a person too as our relationship grows stronger. I always look forward to the time I get to spend with Mike and taking my golf game to the next level.

I couldn't be more thankful for the influence Mike's teachings (on and off the course) have had on my life. Every lesson with him is tied together with love, patience, and his expertise. Without his help, I wouldn't have been able to obtain my goal of playing collegiate golf, and I still wouldn't be able to make it around a course without his words of wisdom.
Rob Hruskoci STUDENT: SYDNEY HRUSKOCI
Mike is an instructor that develops deep relationships with his students. He takes the time to learn the tendencies of each student and develop a teaching program that gets the most out of the individual. He is very hands on and takes the time to make sure that his students learn the "feel" of the lesson. This has particularly helped my daughter, as others just talked about the swing, where Mike makes sure that she know how it should "feel."
Mike is a good family man, very well respected by all of his students. He has gone out of his way to help my daughter seek a college that fits her golf game. He is more than a "swing" coach; he helps with her mental game as well. He is a complete coach. |

John Crawford, Jr. STUDENT: JACK CRAWFORD
Mike Abbott can teach you how to master the game of golf at any age. My 16-year-old son started swing lessons from Mike when he was 12 years old. His goal was to be ready for high school golf. Mike has worked to improve my son's swing over the last four years, providing techniques to improve his game while encouraging him to focus on only a couple of points of emphasis at each lesson. As my son has grown physically over the years, Mike has continued to enhance his skills. My son has seen his scoring average go down 3 to 4 strokes each year and now he is competing on his school’s Varsity golf team as a sophomore. Mike is simply the best at keeping it simple and constantly helping you improve your golf game, no matter what your skill level is.

Kris Bigelow STUDENT: MATT BIGELOW
Mike has done a great job working with Matt to take his game to the next level. He helped him transition from a recreational golfer to playing on the high school golf team. Mike is willing to help in any way and easy to reach. Matt has learned a lot since starting with Mike last June and looks forward to continuing to become a better golfer with his instruction.
Sophie McGinnis
Mike has been my coach for four years. He's not only shown me how to understand the simple fundamentals of golf, but he challenges me to think about how I can achieve my goals in golf and school. He always has me thinking about the future. I'm working toward not being just a high school golfer but also playing collegiate golf. He has the experience and contacts to help me. He helps me be the best I can be. Since day one, I've never doubted picking him as my coach.
Kathy Hasler
My Coach, Mike Abbott has been helping me and my daughter for over ten years. He is not only a pleasure to work with but he is extremely talented in his teaching expertise. His clear and concise instruction has made both my daughter and me significantly better players with handicaps that reflect the single digits. Mike can take your game to the next level through his consistent, simple and precise teaching approach.
He is simply the best teaching professional that I have ever worked with and I have worked with many others. |

Patty & JR Tallman Student: McKayla Tallman
My kids have a passion for golf. Mike Abbott has taught all four of my children how to play golf thru his excellent camps and private instruction. My oldest daughter Mckayla just loves golf and is on Guerin Catholic’s Varsity Golf Team. Mike Abbott provides her with the groundwork for building a strong foundation, technique, and skills necessary to compete in high school and soon in college. She loves to go to Florida every year with fellow golfers in early spring to get her golf skills ready for the season with Mike. My husband and I would not have asked for a better coach than Mike Abbott. We are so grateful for all he has done for our family. Mike is knowledgeable, patient, supportive, and dedicated to all his students.
Nina Hecht
Mike is very approachable and easy to talk to. He's given me great ideas for practice and learning how to score better. He's also set up great golf trips with other girls and has made golf really fun!

Alex Ezell
I've been working with Coach Mike for about two years, and I can easily say he is the best golf coach with which I have worked. I'm incredibly thankful for his patience and dedication he puts forward in every single lesson. He can break down my swing and easily help explain how I need to improve it. He's helped me discover my weaknesses in my game and how to deal with them during a match. I had the chance to go down to Florida with him this past spring, and it was an amazing learning experience. I can't wait to continue to work with Coach Mike and improve my game.

Joel & Bev Book
My wife and I have been working with Mike Abbott for three years and could not be more pleased with how he has helped each of us improve our skills on the golf course. Not only is Mike a talented player himself, but he is an incredibly gifted instructor who is just as effective teaching junior and college players as he is adults. What I like about Mike's teaching approach is that he tailors his instruction to the unique skills and the ability of each player, without over-complicating things. The game of golf is challenging, but Mike's "progressive learning" approach helps players master the fundamentals, gain confidence, and enjoy the game as their scores get lower.
Jim & Jill Milligan
Our time with Mike at the PGA Village in Pt. St. Lucie Florida has been invaluable. We have greatly benefited from our one-on-one instruction and intensive play/practice time. It has been a fantastic way to work out the winter cobwebs and improve our game. We have participated in this program for three years, and each year Mike can hone in on our deficiencies and help us improve our game. We highly recommend this program as a wonderful kick-start to the Bridgewater golf season.
Thad Miller
Mike has been an instrumental part of our family playing and enjoying golf. For the past 20 years, my entire family, including my three boys, my wife and I have all taken lessons and have enjoyed his instruction. He keeps it simple, fun and gives us the tools to continue to improve. I encourage golfers of all skill sets to call you for help. Thanks for all you do, Mike!
